At the end of last year, I reported the sale of Blade.com. The domain name was acquired by the aviation company that operates under the Blade branding. The domain name was sold by Anything.com, a company that owns a portfolio of exceptional domain name assets. The timing for the acquisition made sense because the company is planning to go public via SPAC merger, according to an article on the NASDAQ website.

While the sale price of Blade.com was not shared at the time the transaction was confirmed, a public SEC filing uncovered by George Kirikos has revealed the purchase price of Blade.com: $503,000. Here’s an excerpt from the Form S-4 filing with the SEC that reveals how much money was paid to acquire Blade.com:

The Badger.com domain name has been acquired for $300,000 according to an article on Coin Telegraph. The domain name forwarded to a landing page on the Media Options website, where it was listed for sale for several years. Badger DAO will be the end user of the Badger.com domain name.

Over the years, Rick Schwartz has written about his sale of Candy.com many times on RicksBlog.com and Twitter. Rick famously sold the domain name to an up and coming candy company, and he retained an ownership stake in the business. From what I understand, the domain name was an important part of the company’s growth, but it has become less integral to its current success.

The company behind Candy.com put the domain name on the market late last year, and Candy.com was being brokered by Andrew Miller:

Seth Rogen was a guest on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show last night, and I thought the conversation about a recent domain name acquisition was funny. Seth Rogen is involved in a cannabis brand called Houseplant. The company owns the matching HousePlant.com domain name.

During the segment last night, Kimmel asked Rogen about the domain name. In particular, he asked if the company had the domain name prior to the launch of the business. From a domain investor perspective, it’s pretty obvious a domain name like HousePlant.com was registered long before the company was established. In fact, the domain name was created in June of 1997.
