German country code domain name for “Cruise” sells at Sedo.
Domain name broker Sedo has completed the sale of seereise.de, which is German for cruise, for 59,500 EUR (about $80,000 USD at today’s exchange rates).
The buyer appears to be a travel company called “alltours Reisecenter”.
Sedo didn’t crack the six figure barrier again this week, but still turned in some respectable sales. It sold the four character domain name sgbl.com for $18,750, and sold the gambling domain name PokerVillage.com for $10,000. LocalStars.com sold for $9,000, followed by GoldCard.com for 8,000 EUR. The latter seems like a good deal, although I guess gold cards are no longer “in” thanks to Platinum credit cards. Other notable .com sales include:
mento.com 7,500 EUR
stromtarife.com 7,100 EUR Electricity tax in German
vengaporno.com 7,100 USD
detectinvisible.com 6,500 USD
beximco.com 5,500 EUR
creditscore24.com 5,000 EUR
snowboardsinc.com 5,000 USD
earthsown.com 5,000 USD
exw.com (GreatDomains) 4,500 EUR
Sedo sold another German domain, content.de, for 13,000 EUR. It completed the sale of a handful of .me domain names too: Rock.me ($12,000), Join.me ($10,099), Pick.me ($10,099), and Remember.me ($7,600).
Other notable country code domain sales include Muziek.be (music in Dutch) for $9,999 EUR and Esel.de (goat in German) for 5,000 EUR.
Sedo sold two three letter .net domain names for high prices: ABI.net for $12,600 and EXT.net for $9,000. It also sold a couple .orgs for nice prices including NursingSchool.org for $6,000 and Singularity.org for $5,999.
Sedo’s next GreatDomains auction starts Thursday.
Tobias says
Crazy. I would have thought you would go for “Kreuzfahrt” in this area. This is more like “sea travel”.
Duane says
Tobias you are correct,
the perfect name would be “Kreuzfahrt”. But “Seereise” is a common word in Germany and also has the same meaning. German Language is very difficult specially because one single word can have up to 4 different meanings just depending on how the word is set in a sentence.
Alltours Reisen is one of the smallest Travel Companies in Germany. With this acquisition I see them wanting to get in the fast growing Market of cruises. The cruise market has 2 digit growth at the moment. “Seereise.de” is a killer Domainname.
Also very interesting the domain “content.de” this English word with the German ccTld shows that the German Market is getting more interesting. The dot de sales and German names with .com are receiving ever more attention.
The domain “Esel.de” will probably be a joke sight. Esel (Donkey) also means “Stupid” and “Dork” in German.
