This is my third report of insurance related domain name buys by the company 360 Quote LLC in about a week. They just keep on buying and this time it wasn’t in packages but single insurance related domains.
The purchases started with a package of 28 Geo related insurance domain names for $2,125 each and a total of $59,500.
The second package purchase included 18 Geo related insurance domain names for $6,000 each and a total of $108,000.
The latest round includes individual insurance related domains and all in the four and five figure range again. These are purchases I have seen just at Afternic, so I am not sure if they are buying more at other venues as well or not.
Here are some of the latest:
AutoInsuranceComparison.com $8,500
ConnecticutAutoInsurance.com $11,500
HealthInsuranceProvider.com $8,500
AutoInsuranceComparisons.com $7,600
TexasCarInsurance.com $4,625
TennesseeCarInsurance.com $8,500
These 6 come to a total of $49,225. Include in the $59,500 and $108,000 of earlier purchases and you come to a total of $216,725.
The owner of 360 Quote LLC happens to be what I would consider a domainer as well. Joel Ohman, which also owns DomainSuperstar.com, offers domain name tools and holds a blog that is sometimes posted on Domaining.com .
Congrats again go out to the sellers, Afternic and Joel.

Would they be also interested in mortgage names, say remortgage.me?

I think it’s pretty clear they are interested in Insurance domains…

For that total price he might have been able to finagle a deal for a category killer like CarInsurance.com, even a .net or .org category killer would have been great. The domains that he is buying are fine but I think he would better be able to brand one large, very high quality domain with sub domains like CarInsurance.com/TexasCarInsurance.html which would have been almost as good as the small ones he is buying for local SEO and much better for nationwide SEO.
Either way, I am impressed he has the money to buy all these, I didn’t know he was so successful.
I wish him best of luck in his purchases and hope they make him a ton of money.

@Troy,
If the “name” is after the domain name, it is considered a page or category. 
I was kind of thinking the same thing… but CarInsurance.com would cost more then $200K, if it even is for sale. BTW, Sub-Domains go before the domain. texas.carinsurance.com

“BTW, Sub-Domains go before the domain. texas.carinsurance.com”
=)… Knew that, sorry.

CarInsurance.com would probably sell for close to $100m. It is not a domain but a great web property. With over 225k uniques a month from strong SEO rankings. They most likely make in the seven figures every month…

i own cheapestInsuranceplan.com wonder how much that would go for

They might be building something like marchex, or they could even be working for them. In any case great sale for the seller!

What’s really interesting about these acquisitions is the company 360 Quote LLC is working with.
Norvax is a health insurance marketing firm that develops software for quoting,sales and lead generation and builds the backend for insurance brokers websites.
I suspect this will be an interesting venture and has a good chance of propelling 360 Quote LLC into a prominent national brokerage firm.
The success here is not in any one domain name but rather the niche domination that the collection allows for.

Dtagr, on what grounds do you think that norvax is financing this purchase of 360? They are currently working on a much larger scope project so I can’t imagine them doing this, but it is certainly eye brow raising if you are correct.
