MD.org tops $500,000 at NameJet — Bidding on

Two letter .org domain goes sky high.

[Update: ‘winters’ one the auction for $555,650]

Two bidders are determined not to walk away from a NameJet auction for MD.org without their prize.

Bidding for the domain, which will end within a few minutes of either bidder giving up, topped $500,000 at 12:31 PM PDT.

Bidders ‘winters’ and ‘freedotcom’ are the only two participating since a $35,000 bid by ‘time25’ at 11:15 am.

As for why the domain is worth so much, your guess is as good as mine. Auctions for even the single letter .org domains that Public Interest Registry is auctioning off haven’t come close to this.
