sales Microsoft acquired HoloLens.com ...how?

[Super Software]

Excerpt from DOMAINGANG:

Along with the announcement that Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for users of Windows 7 & 8, Microsoft revealed HoloLens, a device that superimposes holograms on top of real images.

HoloLens.com, a domain registered in 2001, was parked at Sedo for several years by its previous owner.

As late as January 14th, the domain remained in the hands of Domain Dakini, all while being listed for sale on Sedowith a buy it now (BIN) price of $6,750.

I especially liked the part where MS is *not* the trademark holder of Holo-lens :D

That guy will be kicking himself for setting a BIN

I have always said ,set all your domains to "Make an offer"

Their system allows HoloLens.com but refused my ipad related stylus domain. Nice!

Of course, I know it's some kind of security or system issue, but still.

 

[HoloNames]

It's still there for me. Do you see it too?

My conversation with the stuff at GoDaddy an hour or so ago.

 

[gilescoley]

MS have not listed it for sale...lol

It's just sitting there listed by the old owner who hasn't removed it yet

He only sold it last month so it could be listed all over the place

 

[HoloNames]

Gentlemen!
GoDaddy Auctions offer better deal ($1000) on HoloLens.com domainS than SEDO ($6750)

 

[gilescoley]

Try and buy it..it wont be for sale...its just old listings

 

[gilescoley]

Oops

 

[rokoroko]

Since the seller wouldn't have known that the offer was coming from Microsoft, there's no way to know if setting the domain to "make an offer" would have resulted in a higher sale. It's just as possible that he would have accepted a lower offer.

 

[gilescoley]

Yeah but with "make an offer" at least you have more control

There were internet articles on hololens before the official launch and domain purchase so it wasn't hard to figure out
