Ontario firm paid $137,500 to buy Sandwich.com from Yahoo!

A modest Canadian firm bought Sandwich.com in the Yahoo! domain name auction last month.

Yahoo!The first three domains that Yahoo! sold in a domain name auction last month have changed hands, counting the biggest sale of all: $137,500 for Sandwich.com.

The buyer is officially Seyed Ali Mirabolghasemi in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. Based on the address in whois and Mirabolghasemi’s Google+ profile, it appears he has a firm called Future Web Media, Inc. I can’t find any other information regarding the firm.

I called Mirabolghasemi this morning and left a message. I’ll update this story if I hear back.

Two other domains have changed hands.

RecruitingHQ.com, which sold for $1,149, was a classic end user purchase. The buyer is ERE Media, Inc., a media firm for human resources and recruiting industries.

Domain brokerage Media Options picked up Tesserae.com for $707.

The rest of the 10 domains that sold in the auction are still in Yahoo!’s control.
