Three letter .com domains are sought after by domain investors.
The domain name TCP.com was sold today for the ridiculously low price of $18,500 on a Sedo auction that attracted a handful of participants.
This is an insanely great deal – assuming that the buyer will followup with payment – for a three letter dot .com registered in 1992; the era that predates the commercial Internet!
The term “TCP” returns a staggering 135 million results in Google, as it stands for “transmission control protocol” – one of the core protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite (the other being IP).
The seller is James Lick who operated TCP.com as a small ISP for years and lives in Taiwan. James also owns Drivel.com, Jim.org and Pleasure.com among other quality domains.
While prices for three letter dot .com domains have taken a slide since 2008, there are plenty of instances where private auctions create opportunities such as this one and not an indication of this domain’s actual value.
An absolutely fantastic deal for the buyer!
