And other End User domain name sales — Sharks.TV, 420.agency
A condo board, marijuana firm and rugby site bought domain names the prior week.
Is the low-hanging fruit in short domain names gone? Sedo’s sales and dollar volume dropped this stretch. It turned in 602 transactions totaling $1.1 million. That’s nothing to sneeze at, but is lower than previous weeks.
No matter. This column is regarding end user domain name sales. YogaShop.com and TheHairShop.com are still in escrow, but at $20k each, they’re definitely end user purchases. Sharks.tv sold for $15,000, likely to Discovery (or, as a reader pointed out, the NHL Sharks team).
Here’s a look at some of the end user domain name sales from the past week on Sedo:
