Sedo sells three letter domain for big money, and the future is bright.com.
After a few weeks of not reporting any major domain name sales (and one that go away), Sedo came through big time this week. Highlighting the list is CGM.com, which the company brokered for a whopping $365,000. The new whois record for the domain name is for Compugroup, a large European e-health company with nearly 300 million EUR in annual sales.
The domain marketplace turned in another six figure sale with Bright.com going for $112,500. The buyer of this domain has incomplete whois information including a bogus phone number. But the address is for a San Francisco building with a number of tenants.

Lowballing domain name forums enthusiasts will no doubt come out of woodworks and say that there is nothing special about cgm.com, it does not get much type-ins, ppc rates are really low, and that the buyer is a complete idiot who overpaid by $355K and who could have bought a better lll.com for under $10K instead.

Bright.com, interesting story, spoke with Gary ( old owner ) about 3-4 years ago and asked if the name was for sale. Gary informed me the name was stolen from him the year prior and he had no resources to secure or persue its return. Even $5000 or so was big money to Gary let alone more as a case would have progressed. Another sad sad sad story of many I have run across in my daily work. I only hope it wasnt the theif who resold this name for 6 figures. makes me sick.

Solid numbers across the board.

I’d love to read a summary of how the CGM.com transaction progressed from the first contact from the sedo broker to the firm (or was it the other way around?) and the size of the initial offer, counter-offer etc culminating in the $365,000 sale.
Interesting that it was yesterday the firm announced CompuGroup Medical AG would be the new name of what used to be CompuGROUP Holding AG.
By then CGM.de was long gone but the .com is a perfect fit given they say they’re a globally successful e-health company.

That is funny but true.
Lets not call them lowballers.
They call themselves – opportunist.
