Cheap/Cheep Vacations net/com

[ssamriga]

Hi!

Yesterday CheepVacations.com was sold for 7,388$ at Snapnames.

A few months ago 'Ben Franklin' bought CheapVacations.net for 5,800$.

Is that not normal or does it simply show the great difference between .com and .net?
A typo sells for more than the correct term only because of extension? And not the worst, but second best - .net?

According to WordTracker 'Cheap vacations' has around 34k monthly searches, but 'Cheep vacations' has only 420.

What do you think?

Maybe the buyer of the name can't spell & thought it was correct? :red:

I doubt whether 3 top bidders who were fighting starting from 1000$ could all misread

I'd agree, at first blush ... it would depend, of course, on whether it is receiving actual and substantial traffic, IMHO. :talk:
Let's keep an eye on the Whois and the website / redirect! :gl:

Good idea. Sometimes I suspect tax purposes for many of the advertised prices. The public sale of the .net makes it less likely though, I suppose.

:hehe:
Maybe the buyer is SMART and KNOWS the new generation general public can't spell.
