Such is the case with Quamtel, Inc., which recently sold the domain name 800.com to its former sole shareholder, Steven Ivester. George Kirikos spotted this in one of the company’s SEC filings from June: Effective June 21, 2012, the Company sold the 800.com domain and all of its assets to Steven Ivester, the Company’s former sole shareholder, who is ... read more ...

Major League Baseball and Miami Heat make domain purchases — and we won’t trust a prices - NBA team with team salary of $88 million buys a domain for $1,358.
