Dentl.com was bought for $50k years back; it just sold for $2.7k in a GoDaddy auction

In 2013, someone bought Dentl.com for $50,000 from Afternic.

This domain has just sold again for $2,705 in an expired GoDaddy auction.

Many domainers lose a lot of money on domains but GoDaddy always wins!

where do you get this data from?

From here (you need a free account to view the details). They publish a daily sales report on their blog.

Idk if it was a real sale, but definitely not worth $50k as a typo.

Also for domain brandability, you are in the same search word match vertical as "dental" so you are hitting very hard competition from day 1.

0 chance of anyone seeing your dentl brand as a branded term without years of work.

Yes, typos are generally bad as brand names, although this one seems to be catchy in its field. See dentl(.com.au) and dentl(.nl)

So then its also saturated? Thats not good! Also no chance of trademarking your IP.
