It looks like FedEx has acquired a valuable 3 letter .com domain name. Whois records show FedEx is now the owner of FDX.com. The domain name transferred to CSC, and the Whois registrant is now listed as FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. FedEx stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the FDX ticker symbol.

Prior to the acquisition, FDX.com was owned by domain investor James Booth, who acquired the asset in November of 2022. Last week, James noted the deal was overseen by Andrew Miller from Hilco Digital:

I learned about a 6 figure domain name sale that hasn’t yet been reported. A hard seltzer company branded as Sandbagger has acquired its brand match Sandbagger.com domain name for $100,000 USD. The domain name was purchased via Afternic. This domain name sale was shared with me by an industry colleague I have known for many years who wishes to remain anonymous.

Sandbagger is an Ontario, Canada based company, and it is operating on the Sandbagger.ca ccTLD domain name. From what I can tell, it appears the company is operating a website on both Sandbagger.com and Sandbagger.ca. I am unfamiliar with this brand, but perhaps that is going to change following this domain name acquisition.

In a video podcast shared with me by Jag, Grit Brokerage discussed some of its recent domain name sales. With the help of DomainTools, I previously detected the sale of Analysis.com:

It is possible this domain name was sold.

I’ve been using the lead import option at Dan.com more regularly. Although the 5% commission is not ideal, transactions tend to move more quickly on that platform. On deals worth $5,000 or less, I am willing to sacrifice a couple hundred dollars in fees for the sake of expedience.

These days when doing outbound on sub $5,000 domain names, I tend to tell prospective buyers to visit the https://t.co/N3nk4c8w9b landing page to purchase. It may cost a bit more, but it saves time and makes it easier for buyers.
