NameSilo
During some research this week, I came across a one-word .COM domain sale that I don't think has been reported before. The domain Abstract.com looks to have sold to workflow platform Abstract as a direct upgrade from GoAbstract.com. Abstract recently raised a total of $30 million in Series C funding, bringing its total funding amount up to $54.2 million. According to DomainIQ, the transfer took place around October 2018.

Here are this week's Top Topics.


Should I Accept this $5,250 Offer?

Receiving an adequate offer for a domain name is a great situation to be in, but at the same time you don't want to give up a domain name that you may think you can get more for in the future. Sometimes, checking with fellow investors can give a little reality check and help with your valuation and ultimate sales price.

This week, a domainer received an offer of $5,250 for a Bitcoin-related domain name. Here, investors have weighed in on whether they should sell or not.

Brexit Party Fails to Secure Domain

British politics isn't a subject that is covered on this blog, but this is a domain-centric story that not securing a domain name before launching can lead to chaos. The Brexit Party - a new political party - launched this week in Britain, but the party failed to acquire TheBrexitParty.com.

Instead, they opted for a .ORG domain name but the .COM has been used against them in the form of a parody site that asks readers to register to vote in elections against candidates from this new party.
