XClean bought XClean.com and forwards it to its Austrian country code domain XClean.at.

Uniregistry released its weekly top 20 sales list yesterday. Unlike the past couple of weeks, I was able to figure out who bought most of them. And at least half can be definitively tied to end users. Three of the domains are .com sales that now forward to matching domains in country code domains.

Check out the list below.

1. empresa.com $57,500 – Uniregistry Whois privacy. The domain still points to the Uniregistry parked page. Empresa means company in Spanish.

2. cospaces.com $34,000 – According to Whois, the likely buyer is a coworking company in Australia called CoSpaces. It uses the domain name CoSpaces.com.au

3. bluesuit.com $21,750 – BlueSuit is a new commercial real estate contracts system.

The buyer appears to have been Black Ball Ferry Line, which is located just up the Olympic Penninsula from where I live. It connects people to Victoria, B.C. Its ship is the MV Coho and its website is CohoFerry.com. Blackball.com forwards to that website. So who bought it now? And why would the ferry company turn around and sell it?

An upswing in sales came through this week from Sedo, making me think the lull of summer is over and, hopefully, a steady rise in domain purchases by end users will continue. Two of Sedo’s top sales this past week appear to be end users, but I can’t figure out who bought them: Red.tv for €35,000 and Goods.co for $20,000.

As for domains I could directly connect to end users, here’s the list. You can view previous lists like this here.

Brillen.com €23,950 – A German prescription eyewear subscription-based service. Brillen is German for eyeglasses.

Jihi.com $15,000 – It looks like the company that owns Jihi.co bought the matching .com.

11 end user domain name sales at Uniregistry

by — Domain Sales 4 Comments

Here are 11 domains that end users bought through Uniregistry recently.

Screenshot of the Veggie app for Vegas

The creators of the Veggie app for Vegans bought Veggie.com.

Uniregistry is providing its top 20 public sales each week. I reviewed the lists from the past two weeks to find the end user domain sales. I’m sure there are more, but many of the domains have obscured Whois records and don’t resolve to a website yet.

Veggie.com $25,000 – Skanerka sp. z o. o. is a Polish company that offers the Veggie app for vegans. The .com forwards to its website at Veggie.pl.

Paperflow.com $11,000 – Bilagscan is a document scanning technology company. I suspect it is either rebranding or this will be the name of a new product.

GoldenMaple.com $7,000 – The Dubai buyer identifies itself as Golden Maple. The site resolves to a GoDaddy holding page.

Laylo.com $7,000 – The Whois record shows only that the registrant is in California. I’m betting it’s the guy who applied for the Laylo trademark for two (oddly different) classes of service. He owns Laylo.co and Laylo.fm.

ReddingInsurance.com $6,000 – A Boise, Idaho insurance company named after its owner, LeRoy Redding. It forwards to his website EZInsurance.com.

Ondina.com $5,300 – The buyer is technology consulting company Consul S.r.l.. I’m not sure what the domain means to it.

ArmyAnts.com $5,000 – Wooyang Co, Ltd sells petrochemical, power, and fine chemical plant equipment. I’m not sure why it wants this domain.

Accorn.com $5,000 – Accorn is a venture capital group within a company called Spirit Invest.
