Rick Schwartz Sells XXXVideos.com for $1,368,000!
For a guy who has gone into "semi-retirement" Domain King Rick Schwartz is still having some very productive sales days. In fact Rick just let us know he has closed the second biggest sale of the year to date, moving XXXVideos.com for a whopping $1,368,000.
Rick said he originally acquired XXXVideos.com for just $920 in 1997 and that over the years leading up to the sale the name had produced around $150,000 in revenue for him. The buyer of the domain has chosen to remain private. Schwartz said 1997 was the year "the light bulb went off" for him, sending him off on a buying spree in which he acquired what proved to be some of his best Schwartz picked up 57 names from their original owners that year after previously hand registering most of the domains he owned. This may have been the birth of what we now know as the aftermarket. It was before Escrow.com so each purchase was a risk as you sent off your money and hoped for the best. Still Schwartz said he was only stiffed one time when he sent someone $1,000 for a domain that the "seller" never delivered. Rick Schwartz Banks Over $2 Million With Blockbuster One-Two Sales Punch |

That's great.
However, look at the prices of the other .com domains sold on that page linked -- that is not so great. |

that's gotta be bs, he probably sold it for a fraction of that, and just made up that 1.4M price to inflate the value of his remaining adult domains...

unless Ron Jackson, owner of DNJournal makes special rules for Rick then I'd say no. Bank statements and escrow.com verification is required to post private sales.

He sold porno.com a while ago. Why would they need to lie for him? I've heard his story on an interview and he's smart, had money to invest.

lets say the domain actually sold for $368k... buyer wires 1.368M to the seller... seller shows this as a 1.368M sale to DNJournal, seller then wires back 1M back to the buyer.. seller is happy, value of his remaining domains get inflated... buyer is happy, cause everyone thinks xxxvideos.com is worth 1.368M, so if he later needs to sell it for $800k, everyone will think they are getting a bargain... and everyone else in the industry is happy too, as it makes it appear like domains are a great investment...

Escrow services are moving to ID's, address verification etc... so gaming a system on wires going back and forth not likely. Easy to move $1000 back and forth but moving anything above 10k gets eyeballs on it. Personally I've sold $8 .Com domains for 1-10k and a few well above 10k into 6 figure range for the last 13+ years so don't doubt better quality domains reach even higher. |

so the only hope of making money on this deal is to flip it later for more $$, certainly possible, but porn industry is pretty risky to begin with, it's not exactly booming either, the direction it's heading is more towards live entertainment than pre-recorded "xxx videos"... so it seems like a very risky investment... if I had $1M+ to gamble with, if anything I would buy a mainstream domain, any type in traffic it gets is usually more valuable, it's not porn so far less risky, and there are usually way more potential buyers, many with virtually unlimited budgets so sky is the limit... maybe I'm clueless and this actually was a good investment, but either way good luck to the buyer...

i think of him what you want. i doubt he cares. he's a multi millionaire who had the foresight to invest in domains very early and still has a shitload of very valuable domains he hasn't sold.

Nice sale, but the price is obviously bullshit. They always inflate the price to keep/inflate the value of their other domains.
".... for just $920 in 1997 and that over the years leading up to the sale the name had produced around $150,000 in revenue for him" So the domain makes $7500 per year in typein traffic and sells for over $1 million, it obviously doesn't add up. The domain itself is okay, but if you have 1.4 million you can get much better brandable domains for less and spend the rest on branding and traffic. |

This is huge. I bet if 888.com was available and not a gambling site if they wanted to sell they could get easily 10 M for the domain name itself from the Chinese.

For that kind of money, I suspect so. Most of the other domains are lacklustre and in markets already saturated. |

I can only speak to reported facts.
Rick's reported sales and DNJ reporting are 100% accurate. Neither one is in the biz of reporting bullshit. XXXvideos.com is no doubt valuable, even if current use is not the most optimal. Porno.com past revenue is legit too. In the early days this traffic was worth around $200 CPM.
