BMW, a gaming company, and a deals site bought domain names over the past week.

It was a frustrating week to uncover end user domain name sales at Sedo because many of the buyers are using Whois privacy. Still, I was able to figure out the (likely) buyer of WomenInc.com at $25,000 after sleuthing around.

Also note the €11,000 sale of Iliad.it and BitCasinos.com, which will be used to direct people to casinos that accept bitcoin.

Here’s the list I uncovered:

(You can view previous lists like this here.)

WomenInc.com $25,000- The domain has Whois privacy but the buyer is likely this group. You’ll note that they also have a trademark filing for The Music Channel and are using that template for the new site.

Iliad.it €11,000 – Iliad Holding S.p.A. Looks like a relatively new company. The site on the domain as of 9/19 is from the previous owner.

ActionGame.com €6,500 – Online gaming network and publisher Zygomatic.

Scortex.com $5,000 – Scoretex is a “smart visual imaging” company. They were smart to upgrade from the matching .io domain.

BitCasinos.com $4,600 – The buyer is using Whois privacy but is creating a site about casinos that accept bitcoin.

Alpharent.com $3,500 – BMW. BMW owns a company called Alphabet as well as Alphabet.com, which is why Google couldn’t get that domain when they named their new parent company.

Waug.com $3,495 – Waug Travel in South Korea uses the domain name Waug.co.kr.

Pepper.es €3,300 – Pepper.com is an online deals site with over a half billion pageviews per month.

LiveLife.net $2,868 – CSC bought this domain for one of its clients.

PrivateDetective.net $2,299 – Private investigation company International Counterintelligence Services (ICS).

A six-figure sale leads Sedo’s sales list.

Sedo had a big week for end user domain name sales. I already wrote about Sedo’s biggest end user sale of the past week, WMP.com. It was acquired by a consulting firm called West Monroe Partners. Despite the $275,000 price tag, it was a great value.

Other buyers include a bank, the group behind the SAT, and a toy maker.

Here’s the list of end user domain sales I found:

WMP.com $275,000 – West Monroe Partners

CB.org $28,000 – The domain forwards to CollegeBoard.org, the group behind the SAT and AP tests.

Nissei.com $22,500 – An electronics seller that uses the domain name CasaNissei.com

bs2.com $19,000 – Banco Bonsucesso S/A. It’s a lot shorter than bonsucessoinformatica.com.br!

Setoo.com $10,000 – Kamet Ventures, an insurance technology startup incubator funded by AXA. This might be for one of its new portfolio companies.

Olono.com $8,000 – An artificial intelligence company called Olono has yet to launch, but forwards the domain to Olono.ai.

MagicColor.com $7,800 – Wenzhou Times Co is a Chinese toy maker.

BYBE.com $5,800 – BYBE Inc., and alcohol marketing company, shortened from BYBEapp.com.

Accelerant.co $5,000 – Digital marketing company Elevated, which owns Elevated.com. It might be for a client or a marketing campaign.

Techlandia.com €4,900 – The whois record has privacy, but the nameservers switched to DemandMedia.com. This makes me think this will be a new site from Leaf Group, the new name for Demand Media.

Zensi.com $4,900 – The domain resolve to a site for Zensi Extracts and says it’s coming soon.

SumUp.jp $3,999 – SumUp Holdings S.a.r.L, maker of a credit card reader, bought the Japanese country code domain to match its .com.

WendyWhite.com $3,500 – A business coach named Wendy White.

AugmentedReality.ch €2,990 – The domain is resolving to a Augmented Reality site PrimeLite

CellarSpace.com $2,650 – Wine Marketplace Pty Ltd in Australia.

LaScala.com €2,100 – An Italian restaurant banquet center in Dublin, Ohio.

A law firm, lottery company and other end users bought domain names last week.

My list of end user domain name sales from Sedo over the past week is short. Many domains that seem like end user buys have Whois privacy and aren’t resolving to a website yet, so it’s difficult to categorize them as end user sales.

The top sale I can peg to an end user is Justice4All.com, a domain purchased by a law firm. Let’s get to the list…

(You can view previous lists like this here.)

Justice4All.com $15,000 – Law Offices of John M. Phillips in Florida. They use the domain FloridaJustice.com.

Format.net $10,000 – It seems that the buyer is the owner of Format.com. Format.com is an online portfolio service for artists.

LottoAmerica.com €6,700 – Lottery Company Limited in Great Britain. This name instantly rang a bell because it was the name of a multi-state lottery many decades ago. It appears it is being relaunched in some fashion.

TurboCasino.com €4,900 – Online gaming company Lux Entertainment.

CellArt.com $4,830 – CellArt is a wine company. It uses the domain CellArt.ca.

WishMobile.com €3,100 – The owner of WishMobile.net. WishMobile.net forwards to LinkWish.com, a web design firm.

Orlando.co.uk £9,825 – U.S. Rent A Car Ltd is a car hire company that caters to UK and European travelers.

Hire.eu $5,000 – Jobs.bg returned to the aftermarket

LBB.co $3,000 – Iluminar Media Pvt uses the domain name LBB.in.

Several end users bought .ai domains this past week.

It was a good week for end user domain name sales at Sedo. The top sale, EnergyOutlet.com for $47,000, is still in escrow but the second place sale was a pricey .ai domain name: Human.ai.

Human.ai wasn’t the only .ai domain to sell to an end user, either. (The domains are popular for artificial intelligence companies but are actually the country code domain for the tiny country of Anguilla).

Even the .one top level domain name made an appearance on the end user chart.

Here are details on 19 end user domain sales transacted at Sedo over the past week. Click here to continue reading…
