Larry Fischer & Ari Goldberger Close Multi-Million $ Sale of Commerce.com to Claim New Year's Top Sale to Date

With this post, the first publicly reported 7-figure domain sale of the new year is now on the record. Industry pioneers Larry Fischer (GetYourDomain.com) and Ari Goldberger (ESQwire.com) teamed up to close a $2.2 million sale of Commerce.com set a new high water mark for 2025. It is no surprise the dynamic duo were the ones to do it as they have been closing high altitude deals for more than 20 years now.

An especially interesting twist to this sale is that it is the second time Larry & Ari have been involved in a sale of Commerce,com. Back in the early 2000's they were on the buyer's side of a transaction in which he helped Anything.com acquire Commerce.com in the first place. That deal was the first six-figure sale done at Sedo.com and in the same week, they closed a second Sedo transaction at that level for Woman.com. Six-figure sales were still a novelty in those days so the deals brought Sedo a lot of positive publicity that helped jump start their rise to prominence and status as an industry institution today.

Most of the high end sales Larry and Ari have done over the years have been subject to NDAs, but they have been cleared to release enough of them to make their appearances on our charts commonplace. Larry, for example. had one of last year's Top 10 sales with Rural.com at $550,000. Commerce.com will takes its place at the top of our 2025 leader board when our next bi-weekly domain sales report comes out tomorrow evening (Wednesday, Feb. 19).
