Laon.com - Typo Sold for 500,000+
 

Laon.com dropped at SnapNames.com - When the dust cleared just a few minutes ago, the name sold for $500,249.00

What a deal, considering Loan.org sold for $105,500 little less than 2 weeks ago.....


Ready... Discuss..

Woah. Snapnames just cleaned the fuck up.

The Best part about this, is the guy who allowed the name to expire is going to be recieving a check for about $80,000!!!

Probably has no clue about the money. He will most likely be pretty upset at himself for allowing the name to expire.

site is at least down lol... 500k for that domain is way too much

Mind boggling :upsidedow

goddamn half a mil for a typo domain:Oh crap

yeah my thought exactly

Fuck me ragged!

wtf? .....

jeebus 500k for that typo...O and A are on different sides of the keyboard and usually they are rarely mixed up

i wonder how much traffic it gets

Can I ask how you know they are rarely confused?

I was trying to figure out what it was a typo for. Laon and loan I doubt are mixed up that often.

If you type fast or at a decent clip you can easily hit the a before the o. I do stuff like that all the time.

Thats huge.

why is that?

:thumbsup

If laon.com went for 500k lian.com should go for 750k, easy.

I wouldn't extend credit to anyone that came from laon.com :2 cents:

The typo is actually the price not the domain.

Someone with too much money on their hands

Damn....

Overture shows about 3000 searches... sounds like good value to me.

ouch wow....thats pretty crazy

Yep, keys don't need to be beside each other to get mixed up. Sometimes it's just the order.

wow.... that is really a lot of money for that domain....

The buyer is actually an adult domainer :glugglug

High price but he can afford it to play on 10 years revenue or longer.

hehehehehehe...

Because O is next to L I would think the typo would be not so common, especially if the person is a bad typer who does it slowly. Now good typers who type fast can make that mistake, however the stereotypical person who seeks a loan by typing loan.com it into a browser :) is probably a bad typer, then again they might be shitty spellers so that might be an advantage.

You guys kill me.

I thought this domain name would have fetched around $250,000 - but after considering what a fellow Domainers told me yesterday. We guessed that the domain name parked would bring in around $200 per day - it would take years at that rate to get a ROI - however durring that time the value of the domain name will probably increase - eventually one of the big Mortgage places will probably pick it up to direct traffic their way. Whats a few million to CountryWide?

ANYONE?.

So who bought it?

He or she will make that back in about 3 months.

:error
you lost me here bud

Porn.com bidding starts at.. $60 ?!?!

and will rise faster than a cock in a town o' stray pussies

I believe the domain expired at Network Solutions (called NS from here out). NS then sends the domain name to auction at SnapNames. The original owner is then cut in for a piece of the sale. Ive been told it is between 10-20%.

So, the guy who allowed the domain name to expire - (may not even realize it was valuable) will be recieving a check from NS for around $80,000 (was the estimate I heard).

moronic!

fck, I didn't know that - actually not a bad deal, since he would never've got the exposure w/o snapnames for that....

that's stupid and unnecessary :2 cents:

Life could never be that sweet :thumbsup

Dyslexia is a bitch.

Crazy stuff...

Domains (including typos) are like real estate. I only see prices going up over the long haul.

not bad for 1/2 a mil

Not bad, crazy stuff

Loazn.com is still available. On an azerty keyboard this could be a good typo. Let's see who grabs it first :1orglaugh

I wonder what the average credit rating for people who typo Loan.com would be.. :)
