.EU domain headlines Sedo’s sales week.
Sedo has completed the sale of Internet.eu for $26,250, landing in the top ten publicly announced .eu domain sales of all time. Sedo has a lock on .eu sales, handling the top 20 sales of all time with the exception of one private sale, according to NameBio.
I’m sure the original registrant of Internet.eu expected the domain to sell for much more. But .eu has been a poster child for a bungled domain launch. Almost all of the good domains were snapped up by speculators — many using questionable trademark applications — resulting in slow uptake by real businesses in Europe. Given the limited success of .eu to date, the seller should be happy with his sale.
Speaking of having a “lock” on domain sales, Sedo’s sales list this week shows that it continues to have a lock on country code domain sales. In fact, most of its top sales came from extensions such as .eu (European Union), .uk (United Kingdom), .de (Germany), and .nl (Netherlands).
Also, the buyer of Blackjack.mobi in the Sedo .mobi auction wasted no time completing the purchase of the domain for $9,700.

Interesting week for sale – Nice to hear .eu name sell for this much.
I have a client who owns hundreds of keyword generics and he is selling them @ $4k each and Im struggling to find a buyer for them.
I wonder who bought Chrome.co.uk – 10K steal if google ever decide they want it.
Regards,
Robbie
