End user domain name sales led by a three-letter .io domain — A dozen
Three letter domain .io domain name sells for $12,000.
It’s not often that the top end user sale I discover at Sedo is a .io domain name. And, the asterisk on this sale is that it’s not yet clear who bought the domain. But at $12,000, the sale of ICO.io is definitely an end user. (Update: I might have misread the historical whois records. ICO is a big term for cryptocurrencies, and it’s possible that the buyer is a domain investor.) The domain name expired at the end of last year and the fresh owner cashed in.
Other end user buyers at Sedo over the past week include a $6 billion firm that bought a .ru (Russia) domain name and a real estate firm that picked up a .berlin.
Here’s the list of end user sales I uncovered:

SitePad.com £10,000 – Softaculous, a Mumbai software firm, bought this domain name for its website builder.
