I received the weekly Afternic sales report from the final week in 2011, and the numbers were strong. The company closed $1,276,373 in domain sales, and that includes both private and public sales.
Leading the way last week was Bizable.com, which appears to have been sold through the Godaddy channel, at least according to Whois data. CollegeTextbook.com sold for $15,000 and SpiritRealty.com sold for $12,500.

Hello Eliot,
Quick question. How many of these names were bought on the expired or secondary market and then sold to end users?
@ohad: If you don’t mind me chiming in, I don’t think there’s a clear answer to your question unless you want to chase down legacy whois info from domaintools and compare it to the sales lists. Then try to correlate it somehow with old drop lists. Maybe someone actually is keeping track of this.
It’s a sample of one, but one of the domains listed above I picked up for $60 in the secondary market last year. A Sedo sale listed last week was a prerelease I caught for $70 over three years ago. Both were definitely end users.
Btw, in case you didn’t know prices ending in ’88’ are usually a buy-it-now house domain.
