Buys $280 Charity Cookie — Domain Investor

Domain name cookie sells for $280.

Domain name investor Justin Godfrey of DIS Inc./MiniSite.com was the winning bidder in the eBay auction for the Tucows/Open SRS commemorative cookie.

Last April I bought the cookie — which was made to commemorate Tucows hitting the 10 million domains milestone — in another charity auction.

But it was time to turn the cookie into more money for charity, so I put it back up on eBay the prior week.

Bidding quickly escalated and the price soared, selling for a final price of $280. Over 1,100 people viewed the auction on eBay.

The money will go to support Cheti School in Tanzania. The money might be used toward buying a bus, feeding a class of 50-60 kids for almost three weeks, or acquiring books for a number of classrooms.

Godfrey states he frequently gives back. “Any charity that benefits children will benefit all of our futures,” he stated. Godfrey stated he frequently donates to ProjectNightNight.org, another charity that helps children.

I’d like to extend thanks to everyone who bid in the auction or helped promote it.

If you missed out but would still like to support Cheti, drop me a note and I’ll put you in touch with Mary Klingensmith with SponsorCheti.org.

Now, when will that 11 millionth domain cookie be baked?
