22 end user domain name sales from the prior week
Car.info and Portfolio.me highlight this stretch’s list.
Sedo’s marketplace handled 669 transactions the prior week for a total of $1.3 million in sales. The top public sale was Car.info, a staggering price for a .info in light of all of the fresh top level domains available. Yes, “car” is a great second level domain, but it’s still a surprising purchase.
Be sure to tune in Monday to the Reglike Podcast, when my guest will be Sedo CEO Tobias Flaitz. We’ll discuss trends in domain name parking and domain sales.

Patagonia.nl €2,000 – Clothing firm Patagonia picked up this Netherlands ccTLD.
Portfolio.me $10,700 – Martin Investment Management in Evanston, Illinois.
Vobank.com £10,000 – The same firm that owns Vobank.com.cn bought this domain name. Based on a Google translation, they offer some sort of financial services but I’m not sure that it’s a “traditional” bank.
Car.info $75,000 – As best as I can tell, this is the buyer.
Soap.club $5,000 – Flat World Networks bought this domain, and there’s by now a site up offering a soap subscription service.
IndustrialDesign.org $1,995 – Luca Casini, a furniture design studio.
TeenSuccess.org $900 – Teen Success Inc, which uses the matching .net, bought this domain. This group helps teen mothers finish school and “breaks the cycle of intergenerational poverty”.

Osmosis.net $880 – IT services firm Osmosis Development, which uses OsmosisDevelopment.com for its web presence.
TruQC.com $3,500 – TruQC, which has been using the domain TruqCapp.com, offers a quality control and process documentation technology built for the iPad.
TransInd.com $877 – Transnation Title Agency of Michigan, which uses TransMI.com. My guess is Ind stands for Indiana or another service line.

SingularityProject.com $5,000 – StarDock bought the domain. I believe this is a Massively multiplayer online game; the firm has a site for it at ashesofthesingularity.com.
