A look at end user domain buyers from the past week.
Afternic’s extended network of domain name sales sites brings in end users. I thought it would be interesting to take a look at some of the company’s $600,000+ in domain sales for the past week and who the buyers were.
Consulting firm Bain bought Repeatability.com for $4,000. Sounds like a strategic consulting name to me!
Monarch Mortgage upgraded its domain name from MonarchMtg.com to MonarchMortgage.com for only $15,000.
Online car auction site Copart paid $26,056 to buy SellCar.com from iREIT.
RV and camping e-commerce store CampingWorld.com bought RiderWorld.com for $2,100. That’s a cheap price to enter a new shopping category!
Trade union NY Hotel Trades Council bought HotelWorkers.com for only $2,960, which is probably less than union dues for one person for a year.
The UK owner of Investmentland.com paid $2,688 for the .org version of his domain name. Maybe instead of investing in land, people should invest in domain names.
Avere Systems paid $2,810 for avere.net. They haven’t yet been able to buy Avere.com.

Nice, interesting slant on the usual straight sales listing – thank you!

Thanks for doing the digging Andrew! A nice change other than just seeing the list.

GREAT way to list domain sales.
Make a story out of each purchase.
Rob Sequin says
Also, you know what would be great… set up a service that will notify me when any of the keywords that I follow are in a domain that is sold.
With so many domain names sold each week, there’s no way I could see every domain but I would pay a monthly fee if you can notify me when say a domain with the word Cuba is in it.
I’m sure all you need is a database, a script and an email list. I know I would pay a monthly or annual fee to be notified every time a domain is sold that contains a keyword I follow.
VERY valuable to many domain owners I’m sure.

@Rob,
I think Adam is working on something like that, using his NameBio.com purchase.
Jamie says
Copart also picked up MoneyForCars.com in the list for $1,481

Does anyone know where I can find bulk availability checker for .co .ca

If beginners wonder why ErrorsOmissions.com could be sold for $6,170, it was possibly purchased by ErrorsOmission.com (E&O Insurance).
