A VPN company, a fantasy football site, and a telecom business bought domain names.

Here’s a list of end user domain name sales that just completed at Sedo. You can view previous lists like this here.

Lendly.com $47,000 – This domain wasn’t in the weekly Sedo list, probably because it happened after the cutoff. Last month I wrote about lending company Lendly, LLC buying lend.ly for $4,500. The company was using getlendly.com.  At this point, I can’t definitively say that the same company bought the domain, but I’d be surprised if it didn’t. Interestingly, both lendly.com and lend.ly were used by the same company many years ago.

Crydo.com $15,000 – This is an interesting one. It appears the buyer picked it up as a typo of crypto or plans to rebrand one of its businesses. Graham Ventures, Inc. forwards the domain to its Fund.io domain, which it uses for a payment processing business.
