sex.xyz sells at $11,000 loss as premium renewal kicks in
The domain sex.com was for many years the most-expensive ever sold, but the outlook might not be so bright for sex.xyz, which may be a bit of a poisoned chalice.
sex.xyz sold at Sedo for $2,150, according to a record that popped up in my feed today. Namebio lists the same price, with a sale date of December 15.
The domain appears to have been sold just one week before it came up for renewal, which would have cost the original registrant an eye-watering $13,000.
According to XYZ, the registry, it had sold in December 2021 for $13,000, and is one of the names listed as having an annual premium renewal the same as the original sale price.
sex.com sold for $13 million in 2006 and held the record for the highest publicized domain sale every, until the crypto guys started throwing their money around a few years back.
The current record is $30 million for voice.com, sold in 2019. The name nfts.com sold for $15 million last year.
Update: this post was updated to correct that it was sex.com that sold for $13 million, not xyz.com.
Schwartz makes deal to sell ass.com for over $6 million
Veteran domain investor Rick Schwartz today said he’s made a deal to sell the domain name ass.com for over $6 million.
The deal appears to include the mouthwatering sum up-front, along with ongoing royalties. He tweeted a couple hours ago:
I can reveal as of now Ass .com is under contract for $6 Million + Royalties.
What I can’t reveal is what the #domain will be used for.
That will be announced around Labor Day.

The most obvious use for the domain would be a porn site, but that wouldn’t explain hashtags such as “realestate” and “crypto”.
If confirmed, the deal would be the 11th most expensive domain ever sold, according to DNJournal.
Schwartz sold porno.com for $8,888,888 in February 2015.
