A decade ago tomorrow, Michael posted about a bulk sale of t-shirt related domain names. 5 Names in total, T-Shirts.com, T-Shirt.com, Tshirts.com, Tee-Shirts.com and Tees.com.
Well it looks like one of my picks from the DomainFest auction for tomorrow, was sold tonight.
Moniker.com tonight announced that it successfully brokered T-Shirts.com, T-Shirt.com, Tshirts.com, Tees.com, Tee-Shirts.com for $1.265 million. The buyer is Costumes Galore, Inc. Nice sale. Congrats to the Buyer and Seller
Tom Fallenstein the owner of Costumes Galore (which runs on the .net) owns some great domain names, the top being FUN.com.
4 of the 5 names in the bulk buy continue to be owned by Mr. Fallenstein and are parked at Parking Crew. The only name no longer owned by Mr. Fallenstein is Tees.com.
Tees.com was sold for $50,000 at NamesCon 2018. The domain name sold back in 2008 for $252,500 at Sedo.
$1.265 million was a hell of a sales price and doubtful with Tees.com selling for just $50,000 that the other 4 can make up the slack.
You are going to need a lot for the best of the four names, tshirts.com. What is that a $150,000 name? Maybe $200,000?
I will be waiting for snoopy to weigh in on this.
Google killed the idea of owning domains . Google stole everyone’s traffic.
I may be biased (because I’m a partner in the name), but I would argue that Tees.com is the best of the bunch. TShirts.com is certainly valuable, though, and that’s Tom’s best shot at recouping some of his investment. If you’re reading this, Tom, drop me an email and let’s talk.
I agree Ammar, but that one is already sold. I meant for Tom to get money back. Overall Tees.com is the best name to me. I can’t believe it sold for $50K vs $250K previously.
Thanks for all the comments. Ammar what is your email?
I have to agree with some of the other comments that TShirts.com and T-shirts.com are the more valuable domains. I also own Shirts.com. All of them have a lot of potential, its just a matter of resources/time. All of my focus is still on growing Fun.com and HalloweenCostumes.com.
EMD’s are down 90% from the peak in 2007. In 2010 the market was already well down but I’d expect these to sell for maybe 20% of that 2010 auction price.
There is just no strength in this type of domain and I think prices are still falling, they get very few inquiries todays because almost all companies now want a brand domain.
In my opinion Tees.com is the worst of the bunch.
In my opinion, Tom’s best play would be to develop tshirts.com and sell tshirts online. He’s in the apparel business already. Nice cross marketing opportunity both ways. While Amazon is tough to compete with, he seems to be holding his own with his costume business. With so many people reconditioned, by way of the the pandemic, this might be the perfect time for Tom to expand his horizons.
Diapers.com took a six figure domain to a 10 figure sale, same can be done with these.
Tees.com for 50k is a bargain like no other.
My Hickey Freeman business suits have evolved into tshirts and polo shirts.
It appears tshirts have become the new business casual.
I can tell you what is inside every building in Washington, and it’s not books and it’s not T-shirts.
And I’m not talking about Federal Buildings, but the District buildings owned and operated by the residents of DC. The facilities maintenance and equipment is coming down from Maryland. There are no Elevator companies in Virginia. If you own a building with an elevator in Virginia, don’t expect anyone in DC to fix it.
The Domain Name System was designed so that operational efficiency would prove itself independent of the District.
Same with the Patent and Trademark Office, its new location doubles as a detention center for federal prisoners like Zacharias Moussaoui and Khalid Sheik.
Intellectual Property is Unilateral Export Controls.
Concrete construction is full time year round work wearing a T-shirt once and then throwing it away. $328 per tshirt
You can earn $800 a day pressure washing concrete. $100 an hour is not at all unrealistic. You will have to work 8 hours a day to receive $472 after the cost of the tshirt is deducted from the $800
$472 x 365 Days = $172,280
The one year grace period is what makes the US the greatest country in the world.
The Redskin helmet is the guy that moved consecutively to climates most comfortable no shirt at all. No record of public disclosure exists indicating where indeed a settlement was reached. It only lasted until pouring concrete gave credibility to his frame of intent not to wear that same one for 75 years without washing it. Washington chose a federal district of Columbia for US Capital.
2010 concrete construction of the entire Arlington Virginia to Alexandria is finished. This is where the US Patent Trademark and Copyright office operates today.
2010 begins the concrete pouring of all Prince George’s County of Maryland National Harbor.
2020 you’re rolling on solid concrete all the way to Baltimore. It’s understandable Amazon wants the USPS delivery route. Enter the One Year Grace Period.
