17 end user domain name sales, counting a big .Me
An antiquated technology term in .me sells for five figures.
Sedo sold $1 million worth of domain names the prior week. While this stretch’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 Fresh Zealand man who sold Telegram.me is laughing all the way to the bank.
Here’s the list of some of the prior week’s end user sales at the Sedo marketplace:
