It wasn’t like the sale of Soulmate.com was expected to stay at the top of DNJournal’s year-to-date domain sales charts at $100,000. Soulmate.com, which sold at AfternicDLS for $100,000 in early January has now been blown out of the water by the sale of Action.com over at GreatDomains for $270,000.
In 2008, the domain Action.com sold at Moniker for $230,000. By the time the New Year rang in for 2009, it finished at #36 among the top sales of 2008, the same year Fund.com sold for $9,999,950.
But you can’t expect Action.com to enjoy its reign at the top too long in 2011 either, with domain names like gambling.com and tournament.com up for sale. Gambling.com is expected to fetch a price tag in the millions.
Though billionaire Calvin Ayre has no comment on whether he’ll bid on gambling.com, some think he’ll be the new owner by the beginning of February.
At the time of this story, action.com is parked at Sedo. The registrant’s information is hidden by Moniker’s Privacy Services.

Incredible! I have 2 domains for sell http://www.singlerose.com & http://www.singlesfinder.com – one would think that if soulmate.com is worth $100K then singlesfinder might be equally valuable..
