It turns out the only thing more brilliant than the domain name AprilFools.com… was the timing.
Domain Success has confirmed that the domain AprilFools.com, which sold for $14,998 earlier this month & AprilFool.com also for $4,998 was sold by none other than legendary domain investor Braden Pollock — and yes, the transaction was completed on April 1st via Afternic Buy-It-Now (BIN).
Pollock, known for his sharp domain instincts and massive portfolio, pulled off what might be the most on-brand sale of the year: selling AprilFools.com on April Fool’s Day itself. And it wasn’t a prank.
In our original piece, Fool’s Gold: AprilFools.com Sells for $14,998 — Buyer Laughs All the Way to the Affiliate Bank, we explored the surprisingly untapped potential of this playful, seasonal brand. Now with Pollock revealed as the seller, the story comes full circle — showing once again how timing, strategy, and humor can intersect perfectly in the domain world.
The buyer, who snapped it up via Afternic’s instant BIN option, may have laughed all the way to the bank — but it’s safe to say Braden Pollock got the last laugh. Congrats on your continued Domain Success Braden!
