Today we are looking at brandable sales on Sedo and NameJet that were released earlier in the week.

TechTemple.com sold for $16,000, a great name IMO. Tech is a popular selling keyword, add in the alliteration with this one just makes it all the better. The seller was out of Korea, the domain was registered in 2005 by a registrant in Oregon. The name dropped twice before 2005. The Oregon registrant looks to have sold it a year later to the Korean company. The Korean company buys and sells domain names. Took 10 years to sell and this IMO is a better brandable than most listed on any brandable boutique. Sedo still shows as the registrant.

Noote.com sold for 4,000 Euros, a play on note and a naming pattern that has seen an uptick on BrandBucket lately. There are many names getting approved that are repeating a letter in the middle or the end. I tend to get the ending better, a name like Fiverr makes more sense to me than Fiiver. The name has been registered since 2006 and dropped three times before.

CreditFit.com sold for $2,899 this was a buy it now listing. They probably left some money on the table as CSC handled the purchase for their client, OneTechnologies who actually uses a .net as the .com is developed and trademarked. The domain has been registered since 2002.

Does BrandBucket Have A Confidence Problem ?

When doing business in an industry like domaining you may run into conflicts of interest, or perceived conflicts of interest more often than other industries. For the most part the companies you do business with all started out small and may still be in direct competition with their customers. I am not in competition with Comcast or in with AT & T. I am in competition with certain divisions of … [Read more...]
