40 end user domain sales from the past week.
It was a busy week for end user domain sales: A university bought the name for its new mascot, a rehab center spent $30k on a category defining domain name, and a company bought a three letter .com as an acronym that likely cost less than it would have paid to get its longer name.

ARTDECO cosmetic GmbH, registrant of ArtDeco.de, picked up ArtDeco.co.uk for 3,500 EUR.
Unified Webhosting, LLC upgraded from UnifiedWeb.net to UnifiedWeb.com for $850.
World Gold Council bought GoldEdit.com for $1,500 EUR. (By the way, it owns Gold.org.)
This is an interesting one. Quality Building Services Corp. already owns QBS.co. It bought QPS.co for $1,870. I suspect people misheard its web address as ‘p’ instead of ‘b’, so it’s protecting itself here.
Zeno Technology Solutions bought ZTS.com for $15,000. Congrats to this company on getting this three letter domain. Given that Marvell Semiconductor owns Zeno.com, I bet ZTS.com was cheaper than buying Zeno.com!
Planview, a company literally located two buildings north of me in Austin, bought PipelineConference.com for $1,000.
Auburn University at Montgomery recently changed its mascot from Senators to Warkhawks. It just bought the great domain Warhawks.com for $1,695.
Orient Express bought Orient-Express.co.in for 990 EUR.
Oakland Convention and Visitors Bureau bought TravelOakland.com for $2,995. It already owns VisitOakland.org but Michael Berkens owns VisitOakland.com. I suspect they went for TravelOakland.com because it was cheaper.
Pingdom web site monitoring service bought Pingdom.net for $1,000. Although it owns the .com version, I would think a network/uptime company would want its equivalent .net.
UK bed retailer Beds by Bedtime bought BedsDirect.net for $1,277.
“Tradeshow display company Display Products, Inc. bought FrabricExhibits.com for $1,477.”
is it “FabricExhibits.com”? spelling?
@ au – yes, thanks.
PipelineConference.com still forwards to domainmarket.com are sure it was sold?
Dub A, are you printing end user sales now as a regular feature of DNW? We would send you ours (not in NDA), since a lot of our sales vary from $250 – $3000, we don’t submit them to Ron. If you’re going to run an “end user” sale feature, which I think is EXTREMELY helpful for domain investors so that end user buyers (and even domain investors) can see what’s being bought and for how much.
Let me know. I’ll promote it on my blog. Cheers mate
Stephen – it’s a weekly feature
@Dub A,
AHH YES! I see the link in your navbar now. Your first domain sale posts started this month it seems, unless I missed the archive link. Didn’t get a memo on that, boss. Congrats tho, this is great.
cheers!
We were the sellers of Assist.us .. We also sold Boost.us for the same price two months ago. Both buyers came through Afternic.
