A high-value domain name transaction has emerged. According to QEIP.com, a Hong Kong company spent $1,459,450 to acquire the domain name Skins.com to create a zero-fee CS2 skin trading platform. This transaction ranks fifth among publicly disclosed domain name transactions in 2025.
As a tactical shooter developed by Valve, CS2’s custom skins, though merely cosmetic items, have spawned a $6 billion trading market. Even the $2 billion market value loss in October due to a game update couldn’t dampen investor enthusiasm. The new platform, named “Skins.com,” directly targets the core business, and coupled with the advantage of zero fees for sellers, has experienced rapid user growth since its launch.
Neil Patrick Bostic, founder of QEIP.com, which facilitated the transaction, stated that this case demonstrates the investment potential of high-value domain names. This marks QEIP’s second involvement in a top-level domain transaction this year. In May, it also partnered with several parties to complete the $2.1295 million sale of Fuse.com.
Full details of the transaction will reportedly be included in the bi-weekly domain sales report released on November 26th. The rapid growth of Skins.com is injecting new variables into the volatile virtual item trading market.
