NameBio is an indispensable tool for assessing domain sales data. With billions of dollars in recorded sales, NameBio.com is a great repository of domain sales, the majority of which have been verified and double-checked.
Sharing such domain sales with attribution is the typical angle, however, NameBio is very protective of its data, apparently.
We found out that when performing a search for groups of sales, for example LLLL .com domains that were sold in the past year, data is displayed correctly in your browser.
Copying that block of data is another story as NameBio appears to be “poisoning” it. Here’s an example of the image capture:
And here is the data copied via the browser:
eana.com 1,504 USD
dxbv.com 1,899 USD
tftg.com 544 USD
slrk.com 344 USD
ckln.com 202 USD
vgly.com 894 USD
lpnf.com 813 USD
hogb.com 844 USD
kjav.com 163 USD
nwyb.com 751 USD
Not only are the numbers wrong, the order is completely random.
Apparently, javascript takes care of this copy/paste trickery to block scraping bots and when one disables javascript in their browser, they get blocked for a period of time as an added bonus.
The solution: get a free NameBio account and download all the data you need. 😀
