What domains Jerry Bruckheimer, Papa John’s, and 27 others bought the prior week

Movie and TV producer among end users buying domain names the prior week.

Afternic sold over $1 million worth of domains the prior week, and many of the sales were to notable buyers.

Let’s start of with Highmark, which bought AHN.org for $50,000. I wrote regarding this sale yesterday.

The next four sales are what I’d call “global upgrades”. These are sales where a firm by now owns the matching ccTLD and bought .com:
