WOW !! Huddle.com on Namejet - $$$

[Semtex]

I watched HUDDLE.com sell on Namejet today for $131,400.

Anybody have a guess why this went so high?

229 bidders. 2 people bidding over $40,000 and 2 people bidding over $130,000.

Football related. C'mon now you have a fantasy football avatar. You should know better than anyone it's value.

now can anyone imagine the previous owner who let it expire and one day saw this sale?

Indeed !! LMAO !!

I suppose someone is ready to pay that free. In any case domain name will never cost more then someone ready to pay for it.

Fake bids? anyone domain expert can explain about that?
just can almost all extensions have been registered?
is the winner Ninian Solutions Ltd from Project Management Software, Online Collaboration and Document Sharing ~ Huddle ?

 

[lachlandv]

yea it went for a high price but it will be developed into a sports or betting site most likely.

He will actually see some of money from this sale. I think its around 20%, so I doubt he'll be as upset as the kid who sold CamRoulette..

Let's see if the name actually gets paid for or goes to auction 2-3 more times like many auctions on NJ.

My GUESS is two of the biggest spenders in the drops went up against the perfect enduser, .net owner perhaps?

Should be interesting to see who got it.

In American Football a "huddle" is when the team gets together to discuss strategy for the next play. It's extremely common word related to the game and imho one of the most perfect domains for a Fantasy Football site. Fantasy Football is turning into a huge industry and this domain developed can become worth millions.

I see the price as reasonable for any end-user planning to put $xxx,xxx into development of a top-notch fantasy site.

I'll bet you a lot of money Huddle (Project Management Software, Online Collaboration and Document Sharing ~ Huddle) bought this domain.

 

[DubDubDubDot]

Right when I saw the domain I thought project management. Nothing else makes any sense at this price.

 

[sashas]

Huddle.net is a major site that received over $10.2 Mn in funding a couple of months back. Most likely they bought it.

Huddle.net is definitely a possible buyer in this. Nice situation where they met success with a .net and later decided to secure their .com. I've done this myself.

Yes. I vote the sale is a bust.

Agree with your statement. In my point of view, this domain is not for personal use, a 'big company' must be own this name now.

 

[cache]

buyer must be the .net owner

 

[gazzip]

It was bought by the owners of Huddle.net

Out of curiosity, if he dropped the name what's the reason behind the 20%?
