Box.com sold for regarding $1 million.

Last year file sharing service Box.net bought the Box.com domain name from Scott Day at Digimedia. The purchase price was not disclosed.

But now it has — just shy of a million bucks.

CNET writer Rafe Needleman discussed the domain name with Box CEO Aaron Levie. The net-net: the firm bought the domain for between $900,000 and $999,000.

Regarding the negotiations with Digimedia, Levie stated the Digimedia guys were “really cool”. (Those may be just Needleman’s words.)

The article also suggests that Levie was prepared to spend more for the domain if he had to.

Watermelon farmer Scott Day founded Digimedia. He got into the domain business with the purchase of Watermelons.com. He story is detailed in The Domain Game by David Kesmodel.

(Note: just saw that Jamie wrote a follow up with the sales price on Friday.)
