A Fortune 500 bank, politician, and custom bong maker bought domain names last week.

Sedo’s top sale last week was Christian.com for $600,000 but we don’t know if it was an end user or investor yet. I did, however, uncover 16 domains that are end user sales, and there are surely more. One is a company that uses .co that bought the matching .com. Another is a new ecommerce logistics company that went with .co as it matches the company’s full name. And another is a bank that might be rebranding or starting a new brand.

Let’s take a look at some of the end user sales at Sedo over the past week: Click here to continue reading…

Bosch, a hotel chain and Scholastic bought domain names on Sedo.

This week I discovered 13 end user domain name sales on Sedo’s sales list. There are more, of course, but I’m limited in my research by masked Whois records (#thanksGDPR) and domain names that are still in escrow.

Bosch picked up two domain names for its emergency elevator service business, a cryptocurrency/blockchain company bought a domain (what’s new?) and everyone’s favorite childhood book company bought a brand domain.

Let’s get to this week’s list and if you’re hungry for more, check out previous end user sales reports.

This week’s end user sales list of Sedo sales has a little something for everyone.

We’ve got a “country code upgrader” who bought the .com to match its .eu address, a payments company spending money to move from a horrible domain name, Some .com owners buying matching ccTLDs, a company paying to drop the ‘the’, and even a new top level domain name sale.

Some recognizable companies bought domain names at Sedo.

One of the enjoyable things about researching domain name sales is that I learn about interesting industries, foreign language terms, and fun entrepreneurial ventures. This week, for example, I learned that Sekt is the name for German sparkling wine.

Notable this week: Bosch bought a two-hyphen domain name for €12,500 as part of an eBike marketing campaign, a maker of fine quality jigsaw puzzles bought a .co.uk domain, and a special effects company bought a clever three word domain.
