Startups, real estate agents and others buy domain name at Sedo.
One thing that’s interesting about watching the domain name aftermarket is seeing sales for startups that haven’t launched yet. Consider this week’s sale of LegalRobot.com to Agnito Labs, a company that hasn’t revealed its plans yet (at least not on its website). The company says it’s building products “that apply machine intelligence to real-world problems”. Presumably, one of those problems is law.
In addition to this purchase, two separate buyers purchased Houston real estate domain names, a conglomerate paid a nice sum for its name in .biz and a music label shortened its domain name.
Here’s a look at end user domain name sales at Sedo from the past week:

It’s interesting to see Entrepreneur.club go for $7,500. I think the .club extension will make a bold statement among the new gTLDs.

5 letter acronym for $1,995. That’s a rarity. I wonder how many 5 letter true acronyms are registered?

SofaDreams.com and Laways.com seem like steals at those prices for the new owners – assuming obviously that there were no trademark issues.
