A review of this week’s domain sales at Sedo.
Apparently my review of Afternic sales earlier today in which I showed who the buyers were struck a chord. I’d like to do the same thing with Sedo’s results, except that most of the domains are still in escrow whenever they send out their list.
But I’ll try, and perhaps sometimes I’ll go back and pull in some sales from the previous week that now have updated whois information.
Here’s a match made in heaven: ABC School Equipment bought MarkerBoards.com for $13,500. Seems like a great deal to me, although I suppose many people refer to them as white boards.
A Brazilian company called Tropical Food Machinery paid $1,150 to get the .com equivalent of its country code domain name tropicalfood.com.br.
A small Tennessee software company called QR4 Technologies Inc. paid just $800 for Qr4.com.
Oh, what about that big one? Michael Berkens already wrote about WellnessFinder.com, although I received a higher purchase price from Sedo — a whopping 300,000 EUR.

3dMarkerboards.com says
Nice sale – I would have valued Markerboards.com much higher. And Andrew, schools generally refer to them as markerboards, not white boards.
M says
@3dmarkerboards.com
Not sure what you’re talking about, but “white boards” is by far the most popular. And if you look at Google Keyword Tool you’ll see that “white boards” has almost 7x as many exacts as markerboards.
Are you sure you’re not just advertising your 3D version of the domain name ? LOL
SL says
Agree, definitely whiteboards over markerboards. And how do you draw 3d with markers on a 2D surface? Serious question.
The interesting sale is donuts.co for that much, especially since donuts.com is parked.
Hmm, maybe I was wrong about .co. Sure wish there was someone around who could school me about all the greatness of .co…
Jamie says
Sedo RSS feed shows the $150,000 EUR price tag for WellnessFinder.com and I trust that one more than the sent out reports. I have had to correct Jaclyn several times in the past. Nothing against Jaclyn but it’s true.
Andrew Allemann says
@ Jamie – that or there were two payments. Sometimes the RSS feed will show each individual payment.
Jamie says
Jaclyn sent the following to confirm:
“Wellnessfinder.com did in fact sell for 300,000 EUR, in two installments of 150,000, which is why it showed up this way on the RSS feed.”
A website was also included with the sale.
