.ae domain sale and other end user domain purchases — A $75k

A business using a .io domain pays a lot to get the matching .com.

Sedo had a good week for end user domain sales, counting Invest.ae for $75,000. That’s the second-highest public sale ever noted for the UAE’s .ae country code domain, second only to TV.ae for $95,000 in 2015.

The second-highest sale was a .com match sold to a firm that uses a .io domain.

Here’s a list of end user domain name sales that just completed at Sedo. You can view previous lists like this here.

Invest.ae $75,000 – This is a site regarding investing in the UAE. It seems to be funded by either the government or government-adjacent entities.

Deity.com $60,000 – E-commerce firm Deity, which uses the domain Deity.io, bought the matching .com. I’d argue it got a good deal, although I wonder how many people misspell this name. The firm owns Diety.io but I don’t think it owns Diety .com.
