vancoppenolle.be SOLD for 999 EUR

Just found that out from SEDO's sold list. How can such a long .be name sell for so much...

 

[BurninDragon08]

Obviously it means something much shorter in the language it's in.

So it wasnt a freebe! but wow! only 22k results in google... has to be some company?

It seems to be a fairly common Flemish (Dutch) surname. This is local name and not a generic domain name so it is not a strong indication of the .be value.

as i stated before:

to all you anti-be-diss-haters: NA NA NA BO BO

:p~

 

[OK]

I got a bunch of .bes with actual meaning. Doubt anyone of them is worth anything though :/

bakecake.be <-- he he
osamabinladen.be
sponsorme.be

Vancompernolle is a common flemish surname, some companies over here have that name and i presume it got sold to one of them,
to be honest , i was very surprised too, seeing that, after all, this isn't a generic name
or anything, just a surname, i think the seller got lucky that a companie with that name wanted to buy it

just my 2 cents

It's a bit like selling CLINTON.US.

Great sale - Does anyone know for sure if we can sell those free .be's yet without problems ??

 

[Sam]

Ive sold two. No problems. Just tell sedo to NOT report the sale.

Thanks - congrats, who did you have them registered with ?

 

[Th3Boss]

makes me wonder what my .be's will be worth

It's a tricky one as there's not that many recorded sales for them so far.

And how do you do that?

To go through the legit way, a .be sell needs to pay dns.be 17 euros or so. But with some registrars, you can update the registant without paying. I did that with TUCOWS.
