In early January CookingGames.com sold for a whopping $350,000 to Hallpass Media. Sales petered off after that for “games” domains with ArcadeGames.org selling for $1,060 and ViewGames.com selling for $300 on Snapnames – that is, until today.
Sedo GreatDomains announced the sale of ClassicGames.com for $25,000.
Back in 1997, ClassicGames.com, was an internet game room, that featured multiplayer games online ranging from Chess to Freecell. But by 2000, the website ClassicGames.com was Yahoo! Games that offered games for kids. In 2005 was still Yahoo! Games.
Take a look at the screenshot on the left from 2005 via Archive.org. Around 2006, the site was no longer operational, and a message in the footer simply read, “For information regarding www.classicgames.com, please contact: [email protected]”.
Leap of Faith Financial Services Inc (http://www.loffs.com/) who own over 500 domain names, appear to be the new owners according to the Registrant records. The domain name gets over 60,000 searches globally.
