Another
Blockbuster for Kate Buckley!
Buckley Media Group Closes
7-Figure Sale of eBike.com
|
|
Buckley
Media Group, one of the
world’s top boutique premium
domain name brokerages, has just
closed another blockbuster sale.
The firm, founded by CEO Kate
Buckley, brokered a $1,008,900
sale of the domain name
eBike.com to Robert Bosch
GmbH. Bosch operates Bosch
eBike Systems as well as COBI.Bike.
Kate
has closed so many marquee sales
over the years she is practically
a permanent resident in the upper
reaches of our domain charts. With
eBike.com, Buckley Media now has one
of five biggest domain sales
reported so
far this year (we will
be adding it to our YTD Top 100
Chart when do our next
bi-weekly domain
sales report July 7).
Ms.
Buckley said, “eBike.com
was created in 1998 and purchased
by my client, Legendary Names,
Inc., at auction in 2018. They
approached Buckley Media after
receiving several unsolicited
offers to acquire the domain name.
Legendary Names researched
brokerages who were known for
achieving legendary results with
domain names and ultimately signed
with Buckley Media."
A
statement from Legendary Names
said, "When our partner Reza
Sardeha from DAN
pointed us

to the opportunity of acquiring ebike.com in an expired domains auction, he
stated: ‘that's a domain worth $400K sitting right there.’ And it
would've indeed been a $400K sale if it wasn't for Kate's persistence and
vision, chasing high-quality buyers and not letting the domain go for
less than what it's truly worth: one million dollars. Well done, Kate!”
The ROI Kate achieved on this sale is especially remarkable as Legendary paid just $71,938 to win the expired name auction for
eBike.com at DropCatch in February 2018!

conference in Las Vegas. |
Buckley added, “Developing the sales
and marketing outreach on eBike.com was a lot of fun. Particularly
since others in the industry kept telling me it was too generic to
sell for more than low six figures, and that I was crazy for sticking
to my guns at seven figures. Nothing I love more than a good
challenge. I believed in eBike from the beginning—it is truly
the future of mobility, and in the future will be worth eight figures,
if not more. Bosch had the vision to understand this in spades,
and were the perfect end user for this valuable category-killer domain
name. I look forward to seeing it put to its best and highest
utility.”
Kate has been getting eye-popping results
for two decades now. Buckley Media Group has brokered millions
of dollars in both private and publicly-recorded top sales. She
credits "an experienced team, known for its ethical, professional
approach to domain services, exemplary customer service and strong,
authentic relationships inside and outside the domain industry,
startup industry, and established corporate universe, that provides
targeted, attentive outreach and stellar service to our valued
clientele," for the firm's consistent success. |
