A clothing Designer, a project management company and a discount travel site bought domain names last week.

This week we have a rarity: a .net domain name was the second highest sale among end user sales I found at Sedo. Mahjong.net sold for $10K.

That and B13.com were the only 5-figure sales from last week that I was able to find. There were several sales at $5K and above including UHive.com, a social network with an interesting twist. Uhive has been using a new TLD.

Take a look at some of the end user sales at Sedo this past week, and you can view previous weeks’ lists here.

B13.com €13,000 – This domain forwards to the .DE version of the site for a German online digital communications agency. The agency’s name is b:dreizehn; dreizehn translates to “thirteen”, so they now own the shorter numeric .com version of their domain.

Mahjong.net $10,000 – This forwards to the .Com version of this gaming site that offers free Mahjong games online playable on desktop, tablet and mobile.

UHive.com $9,999 – This site forwards to UHive.life. It claims to be a comprehensive social network, the “World’s First Social Network With Physical Dimensions. Combining technology with Human psychology to deliver a new, remarkable and unique user experience.”

Norlha.com $5,500- Norlha is a clothing company based in China that works with high-end Paris fashion houses. They use the domain NorlhaTextiles.com, so this shorter domain was a nice pickup for the company.

TheWorldTour.com $5,000 – This looks like the landing page for a travel adventure club. Their tagline is “A social, member driven, international travel club of fun people. Awesome trips since 2000!”.

QUWI.com €5,000- This 4L .com has a preview page with the message: “World’s easiest project management system with screenshots.”

Viagens.com.br $3,300 – Forwards to Leblon.com.br, a travel booking site for Brazil where you can reserve discounted hotels, cars and airline tickets. Viagens translates to travels so this is a  keyword term.

ConnectingHelp.com $3,000 – This site is in development for a Montessori school in London called Over the Rainbow.

MyFellow.com €3,000 – This domain was purchased by Towerview Health, which also operates PillBox.com, a prescription medication subscription service and “personal assistant” for medications. Perhaps My Fellow will be an offshoot service for this company.

Inlogy.com $2,500 – Forwards to the .DE version of this site for a German software engineering company.

MachineCafe.fr $2,000 – This site operates as a French music forum where users can make comments on albums.

Two Australian companies, several tech businesses and a private equity firm bought domain names last week.

It was a lively and interesting week for end user domain name sales with a six-figure domain sale, Mappa.com, topping the list. There were three more 5-figure sales that I could identify, including the three-letter domain IAW.com and a new gTLD name, King.online.  Several names seem to be for new marketing campaigns such as HoldItHigh.com, a slogan for the J.P. Wiser whisky brand.

Let’s get to the list:

(You can view previous lists like this here.)

Mappa.com $127,400 – Frank Schilling’s Name Administration was the seller. The domain has Whois privacy so it’s not clear who bought it but it’s clearly an end user at this price. Two possibilities are a Japanese animation studio called Mappa Co that uses the domain name Mappa.co.jp or this backpack maker.

Fasting.com $50,000 – L-Nutra is a nutrition company that promotes fasting and sells products to help with fasting diets.

IAW.com $20,501- Features a nearly blank page with the message “I am Warren.” and “This domain is not for sale.” Not sure who Warren is but it will be interesting to see what he makes of this valuable 3-Letter .com.
