40 end user domain sales
40 end user domain sales from the past week.
It was a busy week for end user domain sales: A university bought the name for its fresh mascot, a rehab center spent $30k on a category defining domain name, and a firm bought a three letter .com as an acronym that likely cost less than it would have paid to get its longer name.

Unified Webhosting, LLC upgraded from UnifiedWeb.net to UnifiedWeb.com for $850.
World Gold Council bought GoldEdit.com for $1,500 EUR. (By the way, it owns Gold.org.)
This is an interesting one. Quality Building Services Corp. by now owns QBS.co. It bought QPS.co for $1,870. I suspect people misheard its web address as ‘p’ instead of ‘b’, so it’s protecting itself here.
