And EverBank put domain names under the Christmas tree — USDA, NHRA

Which end users put domain names under the Christmas tree this stretch? Here’s Reglike’s weekly list.

Ahead of getting to this stretch’s end user domain sales note, I wanted to note an observation regarding Afternic. For those that argue that Afternic only sells its own domains, it appears 40% of the noted .com sales this stretch were sold on behalf of clients. That’s pretty darn high.

OK, on to the sales (all sales at Afternic unless otherwise noted)…

U.S. Department of Agriculture bought USDA.net for $6,000.

National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) bought WinterNationals.com for $250 for its race of the same name.

HR software giant Kronos bought Kronos.net from YummyNames for $4,877.

Ace Hardware bought SoulPaint.com for $1,595.

U.S. Travel Association bought TravelCoalition.com for $955.

Elliott Massie’s The MASIE Center bought LearningGlobally.com for $588.

Web hosting firm pair Networks, which owns Pair.com, made an interesting buyout. It bought PearCloud.com for $1,200 at Sedo. A typo of PairCloud.com? Maybe, but it doesn’t own PairCloud.com.
