Fixed app fixes its domain name problem.
I’m behind on last week’s end user domain name sales list since I was at the ICANN conference last week. This list is for sales taking place the week before last.
The top reported sale was GoldPay.com at $50,000. It’s still in escrow, but I suspect the buyer is the person who registered the trademark “GoldPay” for “Providing monetary exchange services, namely, exchanging gold and precious metals of others for cash; Financial services, namely, gold and precious metal trading” earlier this year.
The next highest sale was interesting because an app maker bought it to upgrade from a pretty bad .me domain name. Fixed, an app that helps you fight parking tickets, was using the domain name GetFixed.me. Before I visited the site, I thought it was either for spaying/neuter dogs or vasectomies.
The end user list is below.

Could be a good business model. I’ve met some people who ought to become eunuchs.

Good .com names will always sit at the top of the pyramid, waiting for upgrade from less desirable domain names.
