It appears another “group buying” site could be in the making with the sale of DailyBargains.com on Sedo’s GreatDomains.com for $10,500. Group buying sites like LivingSocial have raised millions in venture capital, with LivingSocial raising $14 million in its third round this past April. Group buying sites offer daily bargains, making DailyBargains.com a perfect domain for yet another group buying venture.

DailyBargain.com which currently shows a BuyDomains.com For Sale page, is no longer available for sale when you click through the buy link.

Group Buying = Daily Bargains

Group buying is a hot new trend. Though conceived years earlier, the concept never quite caught over the past years, but it has taken the internet by storm in 2009 and 2010 with the popularity of social media.

If you own a domain name that fits this category, you may want to hold on.

These are names that could be very profitable in 2010.

If you’ve logged on to Twitter recently, @GoodNewsVan (the Twitter account for Kevin Ham’s Group Buying venture GoodNews.com) announced that followers would get to take a sneak peek at the new web site.

True to their word, since July 5th, there have been a limited number of Tweet messages sharing deals that give GoodNews.com members bargains in Vancouver.

Today’s Deal: $5 for 1/2 a Dozen Bonchaz at Bonchaz (Value: $10.50).

In recent weeks, GoodNews.com has undergone quite a number of changes, featuring a more Web 2.0 look and feel. There have been only 2 deals offered so far on the Beta web site that is currently online. And the focus of the site right now appears to be on one city: Vancouver.

As I pointed out earlier, coupling geo websites with group buying services is a fantastic idea to get things moving and scare the competition.

Just in case you’re wondering, Kevin Ham might be the king of Internet domains, but when it comes to Twitter vanity domains, he missed the landrush.

Kevin Ham had to use @GoodNewsVan instead of @GoodNews (which has been Suspended by Twitter.) For his website BlackFriday.com, Kevin Ham went with @BlackFridayweb. While it may not seem like a big deal — like Domain Names — chances are fans and users of his websites are typing in twitter.com/blackfriday only to find themselves on someone else’s Twitter page.
