It looks like the big domain name buyers ate a lot of turkey last week and spent time with their families rather than buying domain names. But DNJournal still had some good domain name sales to report.
The highest reported sale over the past week was RapidRefund.com which sold for $52,945 through Moniker. Tax season is just around the corner in the U.S. 🙁
FreeAgent.com sold for $10,100 at Afternic, which seems like a good deal for the buyer.
A typo domain, Mypsace.com, sold for $35,100 at Sedo. This domain has an “Overture Score” of 2,976, which means it gets a lot of type-ins. It always amazes me when typos sell for this much, as MySpace.com could clearly when this domain through a trademark dispute. Perhaps the buyers have enough typos that they’re not worried about losing some of them. Plus, they’ll make a lot of money between now and when the UDRP makes its decision. I also wonder how Sedo justifies selling a domain like this when their terms clearly state that they won’t list domains that potentially infringe on a trademark. A few other typo sales this week (these over at SnapNames) include LinenAndThings.com for $6,313, CarrierBuilders.com for $5,655, and HondaFinacialServices.com for $4,777.
“New” TLDs continue to sell well but the chart is nothing like last week’s. Car.biz sold for €11,900 at Sedo. The next highest sale was Costumes.info for €2,625. And talk about a steal–WiFi.info went for only $1,400 at SnapNames.
