End user domain name sales up to $100,000 counting AOL
AOL was among the firms buying domain names in the aftermarket the prior week.
Sedo had a great sales week the prior week, handling $1.7 million of domain name sales on 688 transactions.
End users were a big reason for this solid sales week. An Austin firm led the public charts with its $100,000 purchase of Material.com. AOL also bought a domain name…for only $700. Even a .taxi domain name was among the 29 end user domain name sales I uncovered.
Here’s a look at end user domain name sales from the past week on Sedo:

IntoAutos.com $700 – AOL bought this domain name, presumably for a fresh car website. It right now resolves to a simple search page with In2Autos branding. They don’t own In2Autos.com or In2Auto.com, and why they didn’t spend an extra couple grand to by IntoAuto.com (singular) from HugeDomains is beyond me.
PaintSlinger.com $2,000 – Paint Sundries Solutions sells painting supplies. I can only wonder what a paint slinger is.
Mabel.com $17,000 – I’m not sure why an auto dealer is in the whois, but the coming soon page suggests this will be a clothing line.
