A business networking platform, blockchain company and tire company bought domain names.
The seller was David Wieland, who also recently put Austin.com on the block. It looks like he acquired Closers.com in late 2012 for $32,000. That’s an annualized return of about 8.5% before considering commissions.
Unfortunately, we don’t know who the buyer is yet.
The top sale I can connect to an end user is ExpertMatch.com. I tried to buy this domain a couple of years ago but the owner told me it wasn’t for sale.

Recently transfers via escrow are being held up for long periods of time but sedo’s external transfer program works fine at 3%. ExpertMatch was going to be used for our own site but plans changed.
