Outrageous: NQ.com goes for $27,000 on “new” Afternic!

The sale of NQ.com for $27,000 dollars on the “new” Afternic was a shocker for many domain name investors, some of which called the sale “arranged.”

NQ.com jumped from $9.5k to $27k in one day, apparently, with domain investors marking the transaction with a “red flag.”

But that was 20 years ago, March 4, 2004 in particular. Twenty years later, we can all laugh at the bargain prices that some top notch domains sold at the “new” OLD Afternic — about a decade before it was acquired by GoDaddy.
