Flu.com is for Sale on NameJet

I was looking through the upcoming auction list on NameJet, and I saw an interesting domain name for sale: Flu.com. I saw that this auction has a reserve price, so I knew that it was a private listing rather than an expiring domain name auction.

Interestingly, Whois records show that Flu.com is owned by a company called Medimmune, which is described as the “global biologics research and development arm” of pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca. It looks like AZ has a flu vaccine, but it doesn’t appear that this is going so well, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal this Summer.

If you visit Flu.com right now, you can see that it is a parked page with PPC advertising. There is also a “Buy this domain” link at the top of the page taking visitors to a Parking Crew inquiry form:

I was actively bidding on one of the domain names in Sedo’s monthly Great Domains auction, but alas, I did not win. In the auction that ended yesterday, 11 domain names were sold with just over $86,000 in sales.

Two three letter .com domain names drew the highest bids in the auction. OCB.com sold for $27,500 and OIR.com sold for $24,999. Decadent.com was the third highest selling domain name, closing at $13,500. FoldingChairs.com and FoldingTables.com also had solid sale prices.

The 11 domain names that sold are

NameJet System Interruption

I get quite a bit of email from NameJet on a daily basis, and admittedly, I don’t read everything I receive. Yesterday afternoon, I received an abnormal email announcing a “system interruption” that impacted quite a few auctions that closed while the website was not functioning properly. As a result, these auctions that closed were reopened.

Because I tend to ignore many of these auction start and other emails I receive, I thought I would share it with people who may have overlooked this email today. I believe only bidders whose accounts were impacted received this email. If you have an auction that was impacted, be sure your bid is updated.

Here’s the email I received:

The August Great Domains auction on Sedo ended yesterday afternoon, and a total of 10 domain names sold. The total value of these auctions was around $40,000 USD, so it was a slow month compared to other Great Domains auctions.

The largest auction of the month was RHD.com, which sold for $35,000. There were other 3 letter .com domain names up for auction that received bids, but none of them met their reserve prices. None of the other domain names that sold hit 4 figures.

Here are the domain names that sold along with their sale prices. Keep in mind that the auction ended yesterday and these domain name deals probably have not been finalized yet. Once they are finalized, they will be reported to DNJournal and NameBio for publication.

Domain Currency Max Bid
rhd.com $US 35000
bios.co.uk GBP 999
finanzservice.de EUR 850
nhub.com $US 800
kfzfinanzierung.de EUR 630
btoj.com $US 235
wakq.com $US 219
nvnw.com $US 209
wej.de EUR 200

When I received my morning email from Dropping.com, OccupyWallStreet.com was the domain name coming up for auction that stood out the most. It looks like OccupyWallStreet.com expired in July, and the GoDaddy auction for it is concluding this afternoon.

The Occupy Wall Street movement was one of the leading news stories back in late 2011 and 2012. Although largely out of the public eye these days, it looks like Occupy Wall Street is still in action. You can see more about Occupy Wall Street and its current events on the OccupyWallSt.org website.

According to Archive.org, it looks like OccupyWallStreet.com was
