A Goldman Sachs company was among those buying domain names at Sedo last week.
Sedo handled 675 domain name transactions last week for a total of $1.2 million. The top sale was TheRecRoom.com for $89,888. This was clearly an end user purchase, but the domain name’s whois record is protected by privacy.
As for the ones that appear with open whois records…Goldman Sachs bought one of the domain names for its AYCO company. Other buyers include a dog breeder, an RV seller, and a storage company.
