The prior week’s end user domain name sales
Athlon.com leads Sedo’s end user domain name sales.
Sedo sold regarding $1.2 million worth of domain names the prior week, highlighted by the six figure sale of Athlon.com.
Athlon.com is still in escrow, but I have a pretty good idea who the buyer is.
One other sale was notable not since of the dollar value, but since the sale was a trademark-matching domain for a $14.6 billion publicly traded firm.
The end user list is below.

Athlon.com $100,000 – this is an interesting one. It looks like the domain was sold by a business consultancy called Athlon. A note at Athlon.com mentions that it is changing its web address to athloncommunications.com. As for the buyer, Google results for “athlon” are mainly for AthlonSports.com. This is one of those classic cases where a seller is using a domain but comes up with a price at which they’re willing to go through the hassle of changing domain names.
MyRating.co.uk 800 EUR – a firm called Reportech Financial Limited in the UK. I think it’s some sort of financial/credit ratings firm.

FutureUAE.com $3,395 – Future Center for Advanced Research & Studies in Abu Dhabi. They look like a think tank.
