What Domain Names Bain and Other End Users Bought from Afternic This stretch

A look at end user domain buyers from the past week.

Afternic’s extended network of domain name sales sites brings in end users. I thought it would be interesting to take a look at some of the firm’s $600,000+ in domain sales for the past week and who the buyers were.

Consulting firm Bain bought Repeatability.com for $4,000. Sounds like a strategic consulting name to me!

Monarch Mortgage upgraded its domain name from MonarchMtg.com to MonarchMortgage.com for only $15,000.

Online car auction site Copart paid $26,056 to buy SellCar.com from iREIT.

RV and camping e-commerce store CampingWorld.com bought RiderWorld.com for $2,100. That’s a cheap price to enter a fresh shopping category!

Trade union NY Hotel Trades Council bought HotelWorkers.com for only $2,960, which is probably less than union dues for one person for a year.

The UK owner of Investmentland.com paid $2,688 for the .org version of his domain name. Maybe instead of investing in land, people ought to invest in domain names.

Avere Systems paid $2,810 for avere.net. They haven’t yet been able to buy Avere.com.
