Sedo’s monthly Great Domains auction concluded today, and the largest sale was Videos.de, which sold for 50,000 EUR ($55,975 USD at today’s currency conversion rate). MNB.com was the second highest sale at 22,500 EUR ($25,192 USD at today’s currency conversion rate).

Although many of the domain names received 4 and 5 figure bids, only 9 of the domain names were sold at auction today. There were quite a few three letter .com domain names up for sale, and most did not hit their reserve prices. The auction grossed over $100,000 worth of sales.

Listed below are the domain names that sold with their sale prices. Keep in mind that since the auction closed today, payments for these domain names likely have not yet been remitted.

Buying.com was sold in a private domain auction at NameJet yesterday for a sale price of $69,200. There were 256  bidders who participated in the auction.  The Whois information lists Domain Capital as the current registrant, but I do not know if the domain name was sold by the company or an owner who financed this domain name using Domain Capital.

I reached out to Jonathan Tenenbaum, General Manager at NameJet, and he confirmed that this  auction was the largest auction of 2015 on NameJet. “We are really happy to have held this auction on NameJet. It is our biggest sale so far this year and it is one of those deals that was very good for both the buyer and the seller,” he told me.

At one point in time, the Buying.com domain name was owned by

Tech Cocktail published an extensive article about the 8.CO domain name  that is now  up for auction via Heritage Auctions. You’ll notice that Tech Cocktail uses Tech.CO for its website, so it isn’t a surprise that the author wrote that 8.CO “may just be the luckiest domain on the Web.”

I think the auction is going to do well, and the article cites quite a few factors that could drive the price significantly higher. Some of the factors cited by the author, in addition to some of my own factors:

The first Great Domains auction of 2015 hosted by Sedo ended this morning, and Ignite.com sold for $112,500. The reserve price on Ignite.com had been set between $50,000 – $100,000. In total, the auction grossed a bit under $130,000 in sales, with 6 domain names selling.

I know that Sedo broker Dave Evanson had been reaching out to end user buyers to sell Ignite.com, and there is a good chance one of those contacts was the buyer given the final sale price. Once payment is made and the domain name transfers, I will follow up on this if there seems to be a good story about the acquisition. There are quite a few companies that would benefit from owning Ignite.com, and “ignite” would make an excellent brand name.

The second highest sale of the auction was Wardrobes.com, which sold for 9,999 GBP. The list of the 6 domain names that sold is published below. I presume

On Sunday, I asked you what you think the sale price will be for the ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com auction held on Flippa. The majority of people who voted thought the domain name would sell for under $100,000.

The auction concluded this evening, and it looks like those people were correct. ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com sold for $85,000 on Flippa using a buy it now option that was added to the auction. In total, there were 344 bids placed on the auction, prior to the BIN price being chosen.

Interestingly, buy it now (BIN) prices were added to the listing as the auction was

The SelfieSticks.com domain name sold in auction this afternoon for $29,100 at NameJet. There were three bidders who bid over $19,000 in this auction, and there were 78 bidders who had backordered this domain name.

Based on the current expiration date, it looks like the SelfieSticks.com domain name was a privately held domain name that was sent to auction  rather than the usual expired domain name auction that is most regularly seen at NameJet.

The domain name has a creation date of
