User domain name sales from GoDaddy and Afternic — 23 end

A furniture firm, entrepreneur group, and a sizable electronics cases firm buy domain names.

Ahead of jumping into this stretch’s Afternic/GoDaddy end user sales note, I’d like to call attention to two very timely domain name sales: DebtCeiling.com for $2,249 and DebtCeiling.net for $1,500. I don’t know who bought them (they have privacy on), but this may have been a smart buy. Even once this round of debt ceiling talks concludes, it won’t be long ahead of the next one starts.

Here are some of the end user sales at Afternic and GoDaddy the prior week. The format is domain – price – buyer:
