Took a loss, plus Neustar buys a .com — Body.com seller
Body.com sold for a loss, plus the .biz registry buys a .com in this stretch’s Sedo end user sales roundup.
Sedo’s big sales week was led by the $380,000 sale of Body.com. The domain was sold through Sedo’s partnership with GoDaddy.
This is the second time Sedo has cashed in selling the domain. In 2009 it sold the domain name for $400,000 on behalf of Live Current Media.
It looks like the buyer back then is the seller today, which would be the domain has lost value over the past four years.
We don’t know who the actual buyer is since the domain is right now in the hands of a law firm. But you can be assured at this price that it’s an end user.
Another notable sale this past week on Sedo is DDOSattacks.com. It’s not necessarily notable since of the price ($9,000), but it is since of the buyer. Neustar Inc., which which runs the .biz and .us registries, bought the domain. It by now owns the .biz and .us versions.
