Company producing popular drones for hobbyists spends a lot of money on a domain while the Suns get creative with a .la domain name.
This week’s Sedo domain sales list includes a number of good domain sales to “end users”. One is a hot technology company making drones for the hobbyist market. The other was a purchased by the Phoenix Suns that creatively uses the .la domain name.
Chinese company DJI Technology Co bought DJI.com for $300,000. This is a very high price for a three letter domain. But it’s a very welcome development. Each week I see people selling quality three letter domains for $20,000 or so, and I think this is too cheap.
When I saw who the buyer was I did a bit of a double take. They were just featured in the local Austin paper because they have U.S. operations here. They’re big in the hobbyist drone market. Check it out.
As for the Phoenix Suns, the NBA team bought Beat.la for $5,300. GoDaddy just started a marketing push to help brand .la as the domain name for Los Angeles, even though it’s the country code domain for Laos. This is a clever domain for the Suns to drum up their rivalry.
