Two large publishers buy domain names.
The Washington Post Company and Entrepreneur Media both bought domain names this week. Here’s a look at these and a handful of other end user sales at Afternic over the past week.
The Washington Post bought expressnow.com for $1,188.
After buying FullBeauty.com for $4,290 two months ago, Redcats USA picked up FullBeauty.NET for $1,856.80.
Online document signing solution RightSignature bought pleasesign.com for $1,000, signatureonline.com for $2,200 and securesignature.com for $1,500.
Implix, the company behind email marketing service GetResponse, bought EmailMarketingSecrets.com for $2,500.
OpenText bought OpenGov.com for $6,300.
In an end user purchase that will resonate with domainers, DomainTools bought ReverseDomain.com for $1,988.
Entrepreneur Media, publisher of the popular Entrepreneur Magazine, bought EntrepreneurAwards.com for $2,088.
Employee benefits technology company Motivano bought BenefitHub.com for $2,588.
Another HR company, HRToolbox, bought globalcompensation.com for $1,500.
User experience research company AnswerLab bought UsabilityResearch.com for $1,888.
Interesting to scan the end user sales, and know they’re out there – thanx! “)
Gosh, I’m surprised how folks are almost giving their domains away.
Why sell so low on some of these?
Appreciate these posts on end-user sales.
PLEASESIGN.COM was a steal at 1k.
Love seeing a company like RightSignature picking up several in the same space. Someone, or maybe multiple someones in their marketing department are using their noggins.
well with the ending in 88 we know who is selling off their inventory cheap, for end user sales, these prices are cheap all these $1-2K domains should be selling for double.
This is interesting:
“Entrepreneur Magazine, bought EntrepreneurAwards.com for $2,088”
The magazine has a reputation:

This shows that at least they are willing to pay roughly the cost of a UDRP filing (w/o legal fees) in order to get a domain name.
Yea I am kind of surprised these went for so little. I can only assume that since they didn’t know who they were selling to (Afternic) – they settled.
