Thirty-six end user sales from Atom
A marketplace report lists 36 domains bought by companies last month. The list shows what end users pay for names and what kinds of businesses buy them.
Atom published self-reported sales for September. The list includes 36 domains bought by end users, not investors. Most buyers are operating companies that appear to be building products on the names.
Artificial intelligence companies account for a large share of the buyers. The list also includes a recycling business, billing and invoicing platforms, a precious metals trading platform, and a concrete-industry payments company. Demand for domain names is not limited to one sector.
Prices run from roughly $2,200 to $45,000. That is the lower middle of the market. For a holder, the list is evidence that short, brandable names can sell in this range to companies that intend to use them.
The mix of extensions is notable. .com appears often, but buyers also used .ai, .io, .is, .co, .me and .rocks. Buyers are choosing based on brand fit, not following a single rule.
Several names are compound or descriptive words: OpenRaise, InsureNext, ResultPal, ClearYard. That suggests end users are not always seeking dictionary words. A name that reads clearly and supports a product can be enough.
The sales are self-reported by Atom. There is no independent verification. What is unknown is how representative these prices are, and whether the companies will keep and use the names over time. For holders, the list is evidence that mid-four-figure to low-five-figure end-user sales remain available for the right name.
