NFL team was among the end user buyers of domain names last week.
When GoDaddy acquired Afternic, one of my unspoken concerns was that Afternic would no longer release sales data. GoDaddy has historically released less information than other large domain marketplaces.
The good news is Afternic sales are still be disclosed. The great news is that GoDaddy’s sales are also being included now!
Here’s last week’s sales list from GoDaddy/Afternic:
Gun holster seller Sneaky Pete bought SneakyPete.com for $25,000. The company uses SneakyPeteHolsters.com for its website.

Compass Group, a foodservice company, bought EatWellSpendLess.com for $1,895.
Boston law firm Cooley Manion Jones, which uses the domain CMJlaw.com, bough MGMlaw.com for $1,800. Maybe some of the partners are getting fired.

gnix.com is xing.com backwards! Maybe they bought it to lock up the dyslexic market?
Not sure how I missed that!
“University of Pennsylvania bought TobaccoWatch.com for $1,695.”
I’m sure Ron Jackson appreciates part of his large contributions to UofPenn went towards the purchase of this domain.
🙂
Would you find out what domainers are buying in the aftermarket? (domains > 1000 $ )
The Jags should spend another $10 and registered the more accurate domain JACKSONVILLEJAGSSUCK.COM
If anybody could afford to go for a “trifecta”…and purchase FOOTBALLFACTORY.COM…it would be Under Armour.I’m guessing Factory Athletics is some offshoot of UA. Some dude in Texas (of course) owns footballfactory.com
BTW: Should’nt Jacksonville be purchasing: LAJAGUARS.COM or LONDONJAGUARS.CO.UK…or TEAMFORSALE.COM (?)
ArabianCement.com nice flip looking at date it has been registered. BasketballFactory.com Now there will be rage of ___factory.com
