What domain names Business Insider and 18 others bought the prior week

Here are firms that bought domain names the prior week.

Sifting through Sedo’s weekly sales list to find end user domain name sales is becoming a time-consuming task, but it’s good news for Sedo and the domain name aftermarket. The run on short domain names is filling Sedo’s coffers.

The prior week the firm handled an unusually high 807 domain name transactions for an unusually high $2.4 million in sales. Based on the total of public sales, that means the firm also handled some high value private sales over the past week.

But the end user note isn’t regarding short domain names unless an end user bought them. That’s the case with IAC.pub and WSC.us.

Other firms buying domain names this past week include Business Insider, a medical marijuana firm and a real estate website.

Here’s a look at end user domain name sales from the past week on Sedo:
