Drones, battery packs and sushi: End user domain name sales
Firms ranging from drones to home battery packs bought domain names the prior week.
Sedo had a somewhat slow sales week, turning in 480 transactions for regarding $1 million. Still, there are some great end user sales to note.
Orison, a fresh plug-n-play home battery system, now owns Orison.com…but is forwarding it to Orison.energy. The fresh TLD Holz.kaufen sold for a nice sum, and a Japanese term for vacation rental or AirBnB-type renting sold for $17,000.
I also want to bring attention to the $9,999 sale of DroneSales.com. This domain was registered in 2010, which proves that getting ahead of the technology curve can be profitable.
Here are some end user domain name purchases from the past week:
