Last week’s finish user domain name sales during Sedo - A Hong Kong game developer, investment firm and manufacturer bought domain names last week. Sedo handled 509 domain name transactions last week, for a total of $1.3 million. It was a little bit harder than usual to find obvious end user sales, but there are plenty of them. Once again, many of the sales were to people who owned one TLD version of a domain picking up another. Here’s the list of some of the week’s end user sales at the Sedo marketplace: (You can ... read more ...

23 finish user domain name sales adult to $35,000 - Two Heineken breweries among end user domain name buyers. I was too busy eating turkey last week to do the end user sales report, so I’m publishing this a week late.

17 finish user domain name sales, including a large .Me - An antiquated technology term in .me sells for five figures. Sedo sold $1 million worth of domain names last week. While this week’s list doesn’t include as many end user buyers as the last one (at least publicly), a lot of smaller businesses bought domain names. One of the most amusing ones is Telegram.me at $10,000. Now, be honest — if someone told you they registered a domain name with telegram in it, you’d laugh at him. Right? The New Zealand man who ... read more ...

17 some-more finish user domain name sales - Here’s a list of some of the end users that bought domain names last week. Sedo handled a total of 484 transactions last week, representing $1.4 million in total sales. Yes the most expensive sale they reported was just $16,200, suggesting there was at least one big sale that is not public. Before I run through some of the end user sales, here’s a quick thing I noticed. Remember when .berlin had a free domain giveaway? They canceled it after a couple groups registered ... read more ...

GetFixed.me upgrades to Fixed.com for $40k and other finish user domain name sales - Fixed app fixes its domain name problem. I’m behind on last week’s end user domain name sales list since I was at the ICANN conference last week. This list is for sales taking place the week before last. The top reported sale was GoldPay.com at $50,000. It’s still in escrow, but I suspect the buyer is the person who registered the trademark “GoldPay” for “Providing monetary exchange services, namely, exchanging gold and precious metals of others for ... read more ...

Last week’s finish user domain name sales - Athlon.com leads Sedo’s end user domain name sales. Sedo sold about $1.2 million worth of domain names last week, highlighted by the six figure sale of Athlon.com. Athlon.com is still in escrow, but I have a pretty good idea who the buyer is. One other sale was notable not because of the dollar value, but because the sale was a trademark-matching domain for a $14.6 billion publicly traded company. The end user list is below.

$25,000 new TLD sale among this week’s finish user domain name sales - Travel company is among at least four end users who bought new TLDs at Sedo this past week. There is an aftermarket for new top level domain names. It’s not huge, and few people are getting rich from it. But there is a market. Take this week’s $25,000 sale of Baltic.cruises by Viking River Cruises. I’ve seen magazine ads for Viking, which promotes small ship cruises in European rivers for those that don’t want to venture far from shore. This domain was among ... read more ...

App builder spends $80k to dump “app” from domain name - Ridescout pays big bucks for shorter domain name and other end user domain name purchases. The .app domain name is coming. Until then, many app makers have plugged “app” onto the end of their domain names when they can’t get the .com domain that matches their app name. Does the domain name still matter for app makers? Yes, judging by RideScout’s 60,000 euro purchase of RideScout.com last week. The Austin maker of the RideScout app for finding the best transportation ... read more ...

How 22 finish users are (or aren’t!) regulating domain names they bought this year - Each week I write at least one post about which end users bought domain names over the past week. What do end users do with these domain names they buy on the aftermarket? I was curious, so I went back to one of the weekly end user reports I published about six months ago. The report included 22 sales ranging from $1,000 to $25,000. Six months later, here’s a breakdown of how the buyers are using the sites: 4 of 22 are used as the domain name for a website 8 of ... read more ...

End users group to .co.uk domain names as second turn .UK names launch - Good .co.uk domain names sell to end users who will be able to claim the matching .uk domains. Sedo sold lots of good .co.uk domain names last week. I suspect this is because of the launch of second level .uk domain names. Owners of .co.uk domain names have first rights on the matching .uk domain name, and there’s been a lot of interest in the UK. You can view previous lists like this here.

End users buy relating domains and domain hacks - Many end user domain purchases this past week were for “matching” domains. What strikes me about the latest list of end user domain name sales taking place at Sedo is the number of companies that are buying “matching” domains. They own a ccTLD and want the .com, or they own a .com and want the “hacked” version of a new TLD (e.g. the owner of EnglishClub.com buying English.club.) In some cases the buyers might look at these purchases as defensive plays. ... read more ...

.Club domain tops final week’s finish user domain name sales - Catering company goes clubbing. Sedo’s top sale last week was MM.com at $1.2 million. But it’s not an end user sale. It appears to have been purchased by the owners of Chinese domain marketplace 4.cn. Instead, this week’s top end user sale honors go to a new TLD. .Club sold Eat.Club $20,000 to employee meal catering company Eat Club, which has been using the domain name MyEatClub.com. I have to assume they tried to acquire EatClub.com as well. Was it more than ... read more ...
