Communicate.com reacquires Call.com

Domain name development firm sold name, gets it back.

Communicate.com (OTC: CMNN.ob) is known for owning some of the world’s best domain names, counting Perfume.com, Body.com, Cricket.com, and Brazil.com. A while back they sold a number of of their premium domains counting Makeup.com, Automobile.com, Exercise.com, and Call.com. Part of the agreement called for the buyer to pay modest royalties on all future earnings from the domains.

Communicate.com disclosed today that it has “reacquired” call.com in return for eliminating future royalties on the other three domains. The firm will release a 10-QSB in August that will have more details regarding this buyout. Hopefully it will discuss the estimated future royalties on the other domains so that we can assign a value to the Call.com buyout.

The firm is known for developing premium domains into real web sites, counting Importers.com. It also develops a number of inventory-free, dropship e-commerce sites like Perfume.com.
