Sex.xyz: Premium domain was flipped on Sedo

The premium keyword domain, Sex.xyz, was sold on Sedo in January 2023 for the sum of $2,150 dollars.

A few days later, it was listed for Sedo for sale by its Taiwan-based registrant, who was seeking $39,000 dollars for the domain, all while accepting offers.

The domain Sex.xyz doesn’t cost your average renewal fee, however; each and every year of renewal costs a whopping $13,000 dollars.

The domain’s buyer appears to have made a profit by flipping Sex.xyz just two months later, as Sedo data shows that it was just sold for the sum of 5,200 euro ($5,600 dollars.)

Once again, the domain is parked with a for sale sign, with a GoDaddy lander and at Afternic. It seems that the game of musical chairs continues, until an adult content developer puts Sex.xyz to proper use.

    According to Namebio.com, the top ten most recent xyz “sales,” (all by “Swetha.xyz”), are below. In comparison, a quality name like Sex.xyz seems to be a pretty reasonable value at the auction price, even with the registry’s outrageous premium renewal fee factored in.

    Freddie – The renewal fee for sex.xyz makes it a hot potato in the hands of investors. Only a company actively making money from the adult industry can afford such a renewal cost. The sales reported by Swetha are of domains with standard renewal fee.

    Acknowledged. But if some of the so-so domains on that list can fetch six figures, a domain like sex.xyz certainly has the chance to sell for as much or more, no?

    A few years of paying obscene renewals to the .xyz registry are still worth the potential upside for a resale of sex.xyz to an end-user. And the domain could always be sold before the next renewal.

    The downside is known. The upside is potentially large. Investing in domain names, stocks, nft’s – it’s all about taking prudent risks.
