Week for end user domain name sales at Sedo — A stellar
OPS.com, DPC.com, and Fork.com all sold to end users.
Sedo had a great past week for end user domain name sales. A number of firms paid serious cash for good three letter domain names and category defining names.
Two firms plunked down $100k each for domain names to top Sedo’s public list of sales.
A Japanese firm called Tibanne Co bought OPS.com for $100,000. Its website suggests that the firm is still getting off the ground. Garry Chernoff sold the domain name (he also sold another through Sedo the prior week, see below.)
As for Deco.com, the registrar’s whois database is not returning the registrant’s information yet. But at $100k, I assume we’re looking at an end user.
Here are other Sedo end user sales:
VETTER Umformtechnik, which manufactures forks (not the kind you eat with!) bought Fork.com for $50,000.
Congrats are in order for Dew Point Control, LLC, which smartly bought the three letter acronym DPC.com for $60,000. That’s a lot shorter than DewPointControl.com.
A CSC client, most likely publicly traded clothing firm Ted Baker plc, bought TedBaker.de for 2,850 EUR.
Another CSC client bought Spas-Jacuzzi.be for $1,500. The .com is owned by someone else. Even more strange, spasjacuzzi.be is available for registration.
Conglomerate Koch Industries‘ Koch Business Solutions business unit bought KEU.de for 2,390.
It appears that the buyer of TribalWars.pl for 1,550 EUR was Innogames. Innogames lost a UDRP against NameMedia for TribalWars.com and then ended up buying the domain name for $34,910.
