Hotel chain among end user domain name buyers this week.
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 company 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 company drops a superfluous word or upgrades its TLD.
Cincinatti-based The Urology Group, which owns TheUrologyGroup.net and .cc, upgraded to UrologyGroup.com for $4,000.
Some guy named David Sims upgraded from David-Sims.co.uk to DavidSims.com for $3,588.
Human Resources company The Centennial Group spent $3,500 to move from GoCentennial.com to TheCentennial.com.
Marketing and interactive agency Rocket Red improved its domain from GoRocketRed.com to RocketRed.com for $1,500.
Here are some other notable domain sales at Afternic this week:

This is the BEST way to report sales. Keep up the good work.
I’m sure it takes a lot of time to find this information but really good information.
Glad to see domains go to a good use.
