MyMag.com is the second 5-figure sale this stretch at Afternic. On Monday it completed the sale of CastIron.com for $22,222. The domain was purchased by Cast Iron Systems, Inc, an integration appliance firm. It appears that Cast Iron Systems previously used the address CastIronSys.com. $22,222 for that name change is well worth it.

Many of Afternic’s larger sales never make it to the “closing soon” section of its web site since they are negotiated between parties. This is the case with MyMag.com and CastIron.com.
