Loyalty program partnership puts .Ca domain on top of the leaderboard.

Royal Bank of Canada and WestJet recently announced a new loyalty platform, and they paid dearly for the associated domain name: Ampli.ca for $50,000.

This was Sedo’s top reported sale for the past week. There are some notable sales that we don’t know the buyer for yet. Firehose.com sold for $35,000. This domain reminds me of Shane Cultra’s BlowTorch.com. It will make a great brand.

Also, SongExchange.com sold for $25,000.

Here are the domains I was able to determine sold to end users at Sedo during the past week:

Sedo has facilitated lots of end user domain name sales so far this month.

It’s been three weeks since I did an end user sales list. I’ve been putting it off thanks to what has happened to Whois records as a result of GDPR. In reviewing the past few weeks’ of data today, I came up with a process to continue publishing end-user sales information despite restricted Whois.

(In fact, if you are interested in becoming my end user report writer, I will train you how to do this and pay you to create the weekly post. Some WordPress publishing knowledge is required. If you’re interested, contact me at andrew (at) domainnamewire.com.)

Sedo has had some strong sales this month, including Flo.com for six figures. Also note the purchase by Express Scripts, the 25th largest publicly traded company in the United States. It’s a big list, so let’s get to it! Click here to continue reading…
