Sold before and sold elsewhere

What this does

Two columns tell you whether a name has a sale history, based on the domain sales Euphyr tracks:

• "Sold before" (called "Previously sold" in the Dropping table) tells you whether that exact domain has ever sold.
• "Sold elsewhere" tells you whether the same name sold on a different extension — for example, whether acme.io sold when you're looking at acme.com.

Both appear in your portfolio, your watchlist, and the Dropping table. A past sale is a strong signal: a name that fetched real money before tends to be worth more than one with no track record.

How to do it

1. Open "Portfolio", "Watchlist", or "Dropping" from the left sidebar.
2. Find the "Sold before" column (named "Previously sold" on the Dropping page). If the exact domain sold before, the cell shows the highest price it fetched — for example, $5,000. If it sold more than once, you'll see the top price plus a "+N more" note (like $5,000 +2 more). A faint "None" means there's no record of it selling.
3. Find the "Sold elsewhere" column. If the same name sold on another extension, the cell shows that sale's price and the extension it sold on. In your portfolio and watchlist, when it sold on more than one other extension, hover the "+N more" note to see every extension the name sold on. A faint "None" means no other extension of the name has a recorded sale.
4. Click either column header to sort, putting the highest past prices first.
5. On the Dropping page you can also filter: click the filter icon, pick "Previously sold", and choose "Yes" to see only names with a sale history (or "No" for never-sold names).

Common questions

What's the difference between "Sold before" and "Sold elsewhere"?

"Sold before" is about the exact domain in front of you — has _this_ name, on _this_ extension, sold in the records Euphyr tracks. "Sold elsewhere" is about the same name on a _different_ extension — for example, when you're viewing acme.com, it tells you whether acme.net or acme.io has sold. The exact-match signal is the stronger one; the other-extension signal tells you there's proven demand for the name even if this particular version hasn't traded.

What does the price in these columns mean?

It's the highest recorded sale price for that name. For "Sold before" it's the top price the exact domain fetched; for "Sold elsewhere" it's the top price the same name fetched on another extension. When a name sold several times, the column shows the highest price and a "+N more" note — open the domain to see the full list of past sales.

Why do some names show "None" in both columns?

A faint "None" means there's no recorded sale for that name in the sales Euphyr tracks. Most domains have never publicly sold, so "None" is normal and isn't a mark against the name — it just means there's no past-sale signal to add to the picture. Use the price estimates and other signals to judge those names.

Can I see which other extensions a name sold on?

Yes, in the "Sold elsewhere" column of your portfolio and watchlist. The cell shows the price and the top extension the name sold on; when it sold on more than one other extension, a "+N more" note appears next to it. Hover that note to see the full list of extensions the name sold on. Each extension is listed once, even if it sold there several times.

When it doesn't work

• A name you know sold shows "None" — Euphyr only reflects sales in the records it tracks, which don't cover every private or unreported deal. "None" means "no public record found", not "never sold".
• "Sold elsewhere" shows NaN or a blank instead of a price — Refresh the page. If it persists on a specific name, the sale record for the other extension may be incomplete; the exact-match "Sold before" column is unaffected.
• The sort doesn't seem to order by price — Click the column header once to sort, and again to reverse it. Names with "None" (no recorded sale) group together at the end regardless of direction.
