In looking at NameBio this morning, I don’t see any 7 figure publicly reported .AI domain name sales. The largest public sale recorded by Namebio was the $750,000 sale of Wisdom.ai, reported by DNJournal. That is going to change.
According to a post on X by Sedo, the Bot.ai domain name was sold via Sedo for $1.2 million USD. Sedo stated this was a BIN sale, meaning the seller listed the domain name for $1,200,000 and the buyer utilized the buy it now functionality to acquire it:
AJ Scaramucci made the news last week when he spent more than $16 million to acquire a Pokémon card in auction. It’s apparently a rare graded card that was previously owned by Logan Paul. It was the largest amount ever spent on a trading card in an auction, according to Guinness World Records.
While AJ might now own this special Pokémon card, his father, Anthony Scaramucci, owns a fantastic domain name via his SkyBridge Capital investment firm. In fact, about ten years ago, I exchanged some emails with Anthony about domain names.
When it comes to domain registrations, price is not the biggest factor for me. Trust, support availability, and ease of use are all more important than the price of domain name registrations, as long as the price is in line with the average. I am not going to transfer or register domain names to save a few dollars if I don’t fully trust the registrar and company behind it.
Over the past couple of years, Atom.com has gained my trust. I have sold more than ten domain names via Atom, and the platform operators quickly respond to any issues and/or feedback to provide a better experience for customers.
A few days ago, I received a somewhat alarming email from GoDaddy. “Billing Failure: Save [Redacted].COM before it’s gone on 2/15/2026.”
The message accomplished its task of grabbing my attention. It wasn’t a billing failure that caused my domain name to expire though. I intentionally turned off the auto-renew functionality on this hand registered domain name.
I don’t think this should be classified as a “billing failure,” but I do think GoDaddy was trying to use an alarming term to get my attention. It annoyed me more than anything else.
My son plays soccer pretty much year-round. In the Winter, his team practices a couple of times a week, but they don’t have a regular match schedule beyond a single tournament in Florida. To supplement this, he plays for his club’s Futsal team in the Winter. Futsal is a small-sided version of soccer played indoors on a hard court with a smaller and heavier ball.
