A California organ donor group bought DNW.org and a 3D printing company buys a shorter domain name.
GoDaddy/Afternic sold $1.8 million worth of aftermarket domain names last week. Here are 17 that were purchased by end users, including the .org version of this blog’s DNW.com shortcut domain.
You can view previous end user sales reports here.
DNW.org $7,000 – This one obviously caught my eye given that I use the .com version. The buyer is California Transplant Donor Network. I can’t find any use of “DNW” with this group, but I’ll keep an eye on it.
MortgageMD.com $1,800 – a CSC client
TheHomeBakery.com $1,488 – Gracie Moon Pie & Company, a cake baker in Georgia.
StockMarketAlternatives.com $1,488 – Tri-State Financial Solutions Inc. in Houston.
TheDropBox.com $2,650 – This is a great example of how a common term adopted as a brand can still have multiple generic uses. The buyer is Pine Creek Entertainment, which is affiliated with conservative organization Focus On The Family.
RewardConnection.com $1,588 – Texas Disposal Systems, a trash company in Austin. It will be interesting to see how this is used.
PrintME3D.com $1,500 – this 3D printing company upgraded from the undesirable domain name PrintME3DUK.com.
VictorySquare.com $4,500 – Gaming company Victory Square Games shortened its domain name from VictorySquareGames.com

Perhaps “DNW” could be an abbreviation for Donor Network?

Impressive price tag for a 3-letter acronym .biz, welcome since I just caught two myself.
Amanda says
With 3D domains so hot now we hope more 4D domain sales kick in soon for 2014 and our 5 character domain
3D24D.com
will be picked up by an end user asap as well.

Ray J says
DNW.org was purchased to supplement their other longer domain
http://www.donornetworkwest.org/ – They at some time changed from California Transplant Donor Network to a new name -> Domain Network West.
I know this is an old post, but wanted to add the updated info.
