Special edition of the end user domain sales report.
Here’s a special Monday morning edition of the end user domain sales post. This will cover some recent Sedo sales as well as non-reported sales.
On the non-reported side, I have a big company to report: IBM has purchased SmarterCity.com and SmarterCities.com from Justin Godfrey of Domain Investment Services for $15,000.
Godfrey also sold MallPlaza.com sold to MallPlaza.cl for $10,000 through Afternic.
Here are some Sedo end user sales:
Internet dating site Match.com bought MatchRadio.com for $1,695.
Veterans United Home Loans bought VUBank.com for $2,000.
Houston, Texas car dealer Russell & Smith Ford bought RSFord.com for 1,799 EUR. It uses the web address RussellSmithFord.com right now.
Finally, I’m wondering who the mystery buyer of Cocomo.com is. Sedo sold the domain for $33,000 but the new owner has a fake whois record:
I’m surprised CSC let one of its clients use bogus information like this. The nameservers are used for Microsoft hosting services and don’t mean that Microsoft is the buyer.
John says
Doesn’t a fake WhoIs allow for one to lose/forfeit the domain name? Who enforces that?
Andrew Allemann says
@ John – I submitted a whois report to Internic. I suspect CSC will fix it.
That said, the owner is lucky the email address he provided is controlled by Marchex. If it was someone else there would be a big security risk.
Steve M says
Yes; and Kokomo.com was sold at the same time.
Hmmmm …
Adam says
A reported, non-reported sale ?
