Several software developers, a job search website and a music branding service all bought domain names this week.
The top overall sale fruitwraps.com was purchased by a food manufacturer called Hilton Whole Grain Millers. There were several other interesting end user purchases including two different BitCoin-related service providers.
Check out the list below, and you can view previous lists like this here.

I got to say that fruit wrap looks nasty to eat, but I like the price.
Hopefully Frank will send out rum cakes agian.
Without a doubt, this is the wildest and craziest industry I’ve ever been associated with. So I see Andrew’s email titled, “Fruitwraps.com for $27K tops this week’s end user sales”. Without hesitating I immediately go to my Go Daddy’s “Domain Value and Appraisal” page, and key BBQWraps(.)com to see if it might be available? You guessed it,and it was, so I bought it for a whopping $8.50. GD has it appraised for $1,059. Now that I own it, so called experts in this crazy industry tell me I should list it on sites like, Undeveloped, SEDO, Flippa etc., and hope and pray they sell it sometime in the next 10 years…..WTF???? I’ll be in Vegas next month, and I hope some of the industry leaders and experts can explain to me what I’m missing?

If these fruitwraps were made with prunes, they can hand register UnderwearBomber.com for a lot less.
I have FruitSure.com for sale at Sedo for a really low price!
