Users who bought domains from Marchex last quarter — 7 end

P&G, TomTom among firms that sprung for big ticket domains last quarter.

Earlier today Marchex posted its top 20 domain sales for last quarter (sans price tags).

As with the firm’s prior list of top 500 all time domain sales, the sales were to a mix of end users and domainers/lead gen types.

Here are some of the end user purchases last quarter:

Procter & Gamble bought Swash.com following being found guilty of trying reverse domain name hijacking to steal the domain.

Sunripe Enterprises bought Aprons.com. They appear to be affiliated (or a former name) of Chef Works, which sells chef uniforms. They’ve by now put the domain to use as an e-commerce store.

IT and logistics firm Simain Group bought ProLabs.com.

GPS firm TomTom bought WebFleet.com. The firm offers a program called WebFleet for fleet reporting.

Currency trader GID Associates, which seems to specialize in selling Iraqi Dinars, bought IraqiDinar.com.

Internet security firm Awareness Technologies bought WebWatcher.com.

Hakka Cultural Industry Group bought Hakka.com. Learn more here.
