Buy matching domains and domain hacks — End users

Many end user domain purchases this past week were for “matching” domains.

What strikes me regarding the latest list of end user domain name sales taking place at Sedo is the number of firms that are buying “matching” domains. They own a ccTLD and want the .com, or they own a .com and want the “hacked” version of a fresh TLD (e.g. the owner of EnglishClub.com buying English.club.) In some cases the buyers might look at these purchases as defensive plays. Others might look at it as upgrading.
