One of Rick Schwartz‘s premium domain names is Properties.com.
A decade ago, the Domain King tweeted about an upcoming closing on the pair Property.com and Properties.com; the price, in 2011, was $4 million dollars plus equity in the company.
That sale did not close but Rick does not see such bumps on the road as a well; he just increased the asking price of Properties.com to $125 million dollars.
The nine figure price was announced by Rick Schwartz on Twitter:
They laughed at me when I said #Domains were worth $15,000 back in 1996.
They laughed harder at $100,000
They belly laughed at $1MM
They laughed til they peed at $10MMThey laugh until WE do it.
Properties. com is now $125MM
Please keep laughing!!
That’s not an indication of a sale or a pending sale, but rather a substantial increase of the asking price for the domain Properties.com.
And with good reason: Just as real estate is skyrocketing, so is the price of premium domain names.
Good luck, Rick!

He’s is so full of it. His portfolio is large and mediocre. Anytime he’s bored he comes up with a lie. Whatever happened with GoBet? Didn’t that turn into being a fake sale? I saw someone post it on twitter but it was deleted within an hour.
Snoopy – What exactly is a lie in Rick’s tweet about Properties.com?
It will be cash and an equity interest. I am thinking 25 million the deal will get done.
