Hotel chain among end user domain name buyers this stretch.

As I do every week, here’s a look at end user domain purchases from Afternic for the past week.

First let’s start with the big name: Starwood Hotels and Resorts. The firm paid $1,188 for OnlyInHawaii.com. Specifically, it looks like the buyer was the Sheraton Waikiki.

Electronic Cigarettes, Inc. bought eLiquids.com for $2,588. Electronic cigarettes are filled with liquid nicotine.

The rest of the purchases are upgrades where a firm drops a superfluous word or upgrades its TLD.
