With only 1,000 three-number .COM domain names available for registration, they are a highly sought after category for investors with a large budget. Today, the auction for one of these 1,000 domain names has closed at the popular NameJet marketplace. The domain in question is 212.com which has added value thanks to itβs distinct pattern.

According to @Kassey Lee, 212 can mean η±εη± (love and more love) in Chinese, whilst in the USA, 212 may be most well known as the original area code for Manhattan, an region of New York in which over 1.6mm people live.
The domain name, which is owned by by NamePros user @sevent, failed to sell on the NameJet platform after bidding reached $749,999. This comes just a matter of weeks after bidding for one of his other domains - 27.com - reached $1.5mm without producing a sale.
