A look at 16 domain names sold on Sedo last week that were purchased by end users.
Sedo handled about a million dollars worth of domain name transactions last week with 499 domains. Many of the biggest sales — such as Frank Schilling’s $66,000 sale of newy.com — are still in the transfer process. At that price, it’s surely an end user purchase.
Still, there are some notable sales to report. A three letter .org domain sold for $7,500 and a dermatology company bought a domain matching one of its brands for £9,500.
Here’s a look at 16 domain names purchased by end users over the past week:

SmartThings.co.uk $1,000 – Mark Monitor has been buying SmartThings domain names, most likely for Samsung, which recently acquired internet of things company SmartThings.

Partizan.co.uk £999 – Partizan Recruitment Outsourcing Limited, a UK company.
WeWork.org $900 – Law firm Fross Zelnick Lehrman & Zissu, P.C. I imagine their client is co-working space company WeWork.
MobileBanking.com.br $5,000 – Bradesco Celular, which forwards the domain name to bradescocelular.com.br. I don’t know Portuguese, but it seems they are a mobile banking company as the new domain name suggests.
TheScoreesport.com $799 – Sports media company theScore Inc bought another domain name. This company recently sued the maker of an app called Score!
SuffolkPD.com $2,000 – City of Suffolk, Virginia.
fbet.net $1,499 – The domain name is registered to Leonum Limited. Its the same company that owns the longer fonbet.com.
