Amazon.com buys Joyo.com for $72 million

(reprinted from Domain Food: http://domainfood.com/archives/000106/ )

Amazon.com has bought Joyo.com for $72 million. Joyo is China's largest online retailer of books, music and videos.

This will be Amazon's seventh addition to their worldwide network. Amazon anticipates serving more than 80 million consumers in China through Joyo.

Joyo is barely four years old and only went online in 2000. Amazon was trying to buy their competitor "DangDang.com" over the past six months, but DangDang rejected offers up to $1 Billion.

Reuters coverage

(since this sale includes Joyo's assets, it does not go onto Domain Food's highest domain sales list)

I would never reject this amount, $1 billion is more than enough!

Shannara will become famous soon enoughShannara will become famous soon enough
 
'Maybe one of the reasons the offers were rejected was because DangDang did not want to gouge their customers like Amazon is currently doing.

It's not just a website or a domain name. It's a whole corporation with inventories, employers etc.

Not sure about that millions but they might take an interest in it. Thats a really confident and proud online company to reject $1 billion.
