An electronics trade association, a plant seller and a cryptocurrency company bought domain names this past week.
Sedo closed a whopper of a sale this past week–Cooking.com for $402,500. The domain doesn’t resolve and I haven’t been able to determine if it’s an end user buyer or an investor. But I was able to find 16 end user sales in Sedo’s most recent list.
Here’s a list of end user domain name sales that just completed at Sedo. You can view previous lists like this here.
HappyLook.com $40,000 – I’m a bit perplexed why the owner of quant trading company AG Capital bought this domain, but this is definitely an end user price.
Electronics.org €12,888 – What a great name for industry association IPC, which calls itself Association Connecting Electronics Industries.
GardenAngel.com $11,250 – The domain forwards to the website for plant company Monrovia. It has a trademark for Angel. Interestingly, someone else has a trademark for Garden Angel for a plant watering device.
Infralink.com $10,000 – M.C. Dean Building Intelligence designs commercial buildings and provides services (such as security) to them. I can’t find anything on its site about Infralink, but it sounds like a product it might offer.
Balance.ca $7,000 – Paradiso Ventures o/a Balance company is a cryptocurrency company.
MRcustomhomes.com $5,995 – MR Project Management, Inc. is a custom home builder in the Washington, D.C. area.
WandaBus.com $4,888 – The domain is registered to Amy Wanda of Peaceful Inc. It’s clearly a play on her name.

MRcustomhomes.com $5,995 – MR Project Management, Inc. is a custom home builder in the Washington, D.C. area.
I just called Matt Rzepkowski the owner of MrProjectManagement(.)com and now MrCustomHomes(.)com, and told him he may want to consider owning MrCustom.Homes and MrProject.Management because they’re domains that are available at GD for $15 each. I think he thought there had to be a catch, but when I told him my brother-in-law was also one of the largest respected builders in the D.C.area and I would do the same for him, he was very thankful.
It’s just amazing how few people know the nTLD’s exist.

I think they should rebrand as Rzepkowski and buy Rzepkowski.com instead.

wow. This is the second domain article that coincidentally relates to me. The other one was of my domains porn5g.com and porno5g.com that I let delete. This article relates to me because I had a deal with M.C. Dean for my domain IOTMMS.com for $30,000. It was a package deal for IOTMMS.com,.net,.org and MMSIOT.com,.net,.org.
Their original offer was $10,000 but I bumped them to $30,000. I had on good faith transferred the domain to their account after they paid $2,000 but at the very last minute William Dean put the Kibosh on the whole deal. I was dealing with the director of whatever.
I should have called a lawyer because even though there was no written contract it’s still a verbal deal and in good faith I already gave them the domain.
The director said Dean said the domain was not worth $5,000 at the last minute. The director obviously was doing this on his own. I believe the reason because M.C. Dean had a TRADEMARK for “IOTMMS” and this domain was registered prior to that.
So I think this director wanted brownie points to secure IOTMMS.com because they probably went thru with the Trademark without ever thinking if the .com was available.
He said he was going to dip into his own savings to get the deal done.
It’s all good though. Looking at the technology. I believe there will be a buyer for this 6 letter .com.
IOTMMS = Internet of Things Mobile Management Systems or Messaging Management System.
Really pissed me off as I needed the money at the time.
Meanwhile Dean buys $80 million dollar bachelor pads and has a $400+ million dollar a year company.
It seems that $10,000 is the “sweet spot” for this company.

” this is definitely an end user price”
Forgive my ignorance but what is an “end user price”? Not the value itself but the term, and what is the converse?
Thanks

I’m basically comparing it to what an investor might pay. If the domain sold for $1,000, it’s reasonable to think it’s a domain investor. But no domain investor would pay this much; the price reflects a buyer who wants to put this specific domain to use.
