Will sell for at least $24,000 tomorrow — Tumblr.com typo

Domain for sale on Sedo gets lots of traffic looking for blogging site.

An auction for a typo of popular blogging platform Tumblr.com closes tomorrow, and it right now has a bid of 15,000 GBP (regarding $24,000 USD).

The domain Tubmlr.com switches the b and the m. As stated by the sales listing page on Sedo it gets close to 8,000 visits per month, obviously due to its similarity to the blogging service.

There’s only one bidder on the domain, and it’s possible that it’s Tumblr, Inc. itself.

Of course the best “typo” is the correct spelling — Tumbler.com. Tumbler.com is owned by Tervis, maker of Tervis Tumbler drinkware. You can bet it gets quite a bit of confused visitors, although I doubt many of them turn into sales.
