OPS.com, DPC.com, and Fork.com all sold to end users.
Sedo had a great past week for end user domain name sales. Several companies paid serious cash for good three letter domain names and category defining names.
Two companies plunked down $100k each for domain names to top Sedo’s public list of sales.
A Japanese company called Tibanne Co bought OPS.com for $100,000. Its website suggests that the company is still getting off the ground. Garry Chernoff sold the domain name (he also sold another through Sedo last week, see below.)
As for Deco.com, the registrar’s whois database is not returning the registrant’s information yet. But at $100k, I assume we’re looking at an end user.
Here are other Sedo end user sales:
VETTER Umformtechnik, which manufactures forks (not the kind you eat with!) bought Fork.com for $50,000.
Congrats are in order for Dew Point Control, LLC, which smartly bought the three letter acronym DPC.com for $60,000. That’s a lot shorter than DewPointControl.com.
A CSC client, most likely publicly traded clothing company Ted Baker plc, bought TedBaker.de for 2,850 EUR.
Another CSC client bought Spas-Jacuzzi.be for $1,500. The .com is owned by someone else. Even more strange, spasjacuzzi.be is available for registration.
Conglomerate Koch Industries‘ Koch Business Solutions business unit bought KEU.de for 2,390.
It appears that the buyer of TribalWars.pl for 1,550 EUR was Innogames. Innogames lost a UDRP against NameMedia for TribalWars.com and then ended up buying the domain name for $34,910.
Mum Network Ltd, owner of Pregnancy.co.uk, Babies.co.uk, and Babynames.co.uk, bought Parent.co.uk for 5,000 GBP.

This is an interesting business. Holiday Image Inc. creates seasonal displays (e.g. Christmas) for national retailers, malls, etc. It bought RetailImage.com for $1,788.

Hi Andrew, I read their story in Japanese and found out that the company was started by a French guy in 2009. He’s now operating the largest Bitcoin exchange in the world, See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt.Gox.
