Check out what domains Bayer, Enterprise, and a congresswoman bought this stretch
Big buyers get good deals on domain names.
Some notable names made domain purchases this stretch for smart prices. All of these sales were at Afternic unless otherwise noted.
Bayer AG bought ResponsibleUse.com for only $895 at Sedo. It’s a good domain for information regarding prescription drug abuse.
Sharp Design, which had been using SharpDesignWebsites.com, shortened its domain to SharpDesign.com for just $2,000.
Representative Marsha Blackburn (R – TN) got MarshaBlackburn.com for $2,188, or at least it appears that way. The domain was bought by political marketing firm CampaignSolutions.com
Gym chain Lifetime Fitness bought MyHealthCheck.com for $4,000 at Sedo.
Cleaning services firm Schuh’s Services shortened its domain from WeCleanItUp.com to WeCleanup.com for $1,552.
Enterprise Rent-a-Car bought eCar.biz for $5,000 at Sedo. The firm has a trademark for the term ‘eCar’ for car rental. It by now owns eCar.net and eCar.us but doesn’t own eCar.com. Given this extremely high price for a .biz, it appears the firm is willing to pay to shore up its brand.
LPL Financial bought WomenInvest.com for $1,288.
Kensington Tours picked up the shorter URL ktours.com for $3,788.
Healthcare firm Mercy paid $2,500 for MercyClinic.com.
Christian book firm Harvest House Publishers purchased StoryofyourLife.com for $2,588.
Human resources firm Empower Benefits, which uses the domain name mpowerbenefits.com and doesn’t own empowerbenefits.com, bought PowerBenefits.com for $1,688.
Finally, it appears domain name giant GoDaddy may have made an end user purchase itself. BuildYourOnlineBusiness.com sold for $1,188 and the whois shows GoDaddy. GoDaddy sometimes is listed for domains that are purchased through its site but “in limbo”, but this one is listed differently. Given the topic there’s a good chance the domain registrar is the actual buyer.
