If I had to guess the buyer is most likely Autoglass® Windscreen Repair and Replace - Autoglass® UK they are well known in the UK and have frequent tv ads. Still thats an unexpected price.

Me too, an attempt to protect their brand from squatters and potential competitors.

it's a 300k alexa site, how much type in traffic can there be on .co after all? I doubt any squatters would bid it up that high

Totally weird tbh.

Specially since you can't sell a .co on the forum even for reg fee. :p

And with much higher results than autoglass too. :lol:

I think I'm doing something wrong. Seems like 90% of domains I see selling for $10k-$100k are domains I would not even pay reg fee for.

Case in point: AutoGlass.co - wtf???

I look at .co as a fad and nothing more. ppl paid good money for .mobi once it was released, too. Look at it now :p
