A small Canadian company bought Sandwich.com in the Yahoo! domain name auction last month.
The first three domains that Yahoo! sold in a domain name auction last month have changed hands, including the biggest sale of all: $137,500 for Sandwich.com.
The buyer is officially Seyed Ali Mirabolghasemi in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. Based on the address in whois and Mirabolghasemi’s Google+ profile, it appears he has a company called Future Web Media, Inc. I can’t find any other information about the company.
I called Mirabolghasemi this morning and left a message. I’ll update this story if I hear back.
Two other domains have changed hands.
RecruitingHQ.com, which sold for $1,149, was a classic end user purchase. The buyer is ERE Media, Inc., a media company for human resources and recruiting industries.
Domain brokerage Media Options picked up Tesserae.com for $707.
The rest of the 10 domains that sold in the auction are still in Yahoo!’s control.
Looks like another proxy buyer.
Why would you need a proxy for an auction like this, especially when bidder identities are not disclosed during the auction?
Here’s your clue: “I can’t find any other information about the company.”
Happens all the time. There’s a business registration from 2010 but that’s not very useful.
Any chance this could be a shell for Future Media Architects who own like a gazillion names?
I doubt it. Similar name, but they would have just bought it under their name.
Every day that remains a Sedo parked page is a tremendously wasted opportunity.
Yeah, think of all the sandwiches he could sell! 🙂
This guy is in the immigration business, which is very lucrative in Canada.
This is no shell bidder/company
Just a misguided domainer
He owns some real gems
Iranspy.com
Namzady.com
Globalspytech.com
101headphone.com
And some other goodersat
Seems he has come to realize what better quality names are if not what they are worth
He just bot the most expensive sandwich in the world and he will end up eating it!
But it gives him a big shot at being the Earl of them.
You guys are nit right ! Acctualy his wife is a very famous immigration lawyer and he has several printing companys . He is very god in doing bussiness
