As promised yesterday, the details of a six figure sale of a quality LLL .com are now being revealed, exclusively on DomainGang.
The sale of ETV.com was facilitated in a private transaction via Escrow.com which completed recently, after attempts to sell it on Flippa did not come to fruition.
The buyer of ETV.com is Greek entrepreneur and film producer, Alki David, whom we covered three years ago on DomainGang.
It’s a small world, indeed.
Alki David has appeared in films, including a 2008 motion picture, The Bank Job, in which David played a bank-vault expert hired by Jason Statham to help with a bank heist.
Seller Mike Bahlitzanakis took home $100,000 dollars for this domain, once again landing a tremendous domain sale, which he plans to re-invest in new domains and services.
Mike owns another superb brand, City.com.
Meanwhile, ETV.com has been turned into a movie and live TV portal worth perusing, with a large variety of content available across several categories. The ETV brand is used alongside FilmOn – the production company founded by Alki David.
The $100,000 sale of ETV.com places it at spot 47 of this year’s sales, according to DNJournal.
Congratulations to Mike and Alki for this strong affirmation that quality domains create quality brands.

Back in 2007, this domain was for sale at $1,000,000.
I guess it didn’t sell, though.
I remember this clearly because I had just gotten involved in domaining, and, at the time, I found it amazing that domains could be sold for 7 figures.

Ms Domainer – No doubt, the economy of that time was considerably stronger, things went south in 2009 globally thanks to the banksters!
Thanks for this special news. I appreciate your work.
