A .club domain & 21 other end user domain name sales — Disney buys
Disney, AMC and other big names bought domain names the prior week.
Sedo had a busy sales week when it came to selling domain names to big name end users. From Disney, to $10 billion clothing firm Next, to AMC, a number of household brands bought domain names at the marketplace the prior week.
Interestingly, these three firms bought non-.com domains. .Club was the beneficiary of two of these big buyers, while AMC bought a .tv (although it has the matching .com domain name).
Here’s a list of 22 end user sales at the Sedo marketplace the prior week:
