The domain name is being  brokered by Dave Evanson, and it had been listed for sale with a $1,000,000 asking price.

September’s GreatDomains Auction Results

Sedo’s Great Domains monthly auction concluded yesterday. I wrote about the $25,000 sale of Hips.com in the afternoon, but that domain name was not the largest sale in the auction. That honor went to PDZ.com, which sold for 37,010 EUR (approximately $41,283).

Following these two sales, j.de was sold for 22000 EUR, which is a bit less than $25,000 at today’s exchange rate. The auction totaled a bit less than $125,000. Perhaps interestingly, more than half of the winning auctions were for .de domain names (German ccTLD), and more than half of the auctions were in Euros instead of US dollars.

The entire list of auction sales is below. Keep in mind that

Hips.com

Hips.com was sold for $25,000 via Sedo’s Great Domains auction this afternoon. There were 8 bidders who participated in this reserve auction, and bidder #7 was the winning bidder.

I was actively following this auction, but I did not end up bidding. I was prepared to bid on the domain name, but I decided to sit on the sidelines once it passed a number I was willing to risk on this investment.

I think there are

For the second year in a row, Sedo will be  attending the dmexco conference in Cologne, Germany on September 16 and 17. The dmexco conference is billed as the largest digital marketing conference in Europe. Over 32,000 people from more than  100 countries are expected to attend. Attendees range from marketers to communications professionals from agencies as well as independent companies of all sizes.

The special promotion that Sedo is undertaking is an opportunity for the company to connect with prospective domain name buyers and companies that work with domain names. According to Sedo’s Carolyn Rodon, “dmexco is the perfect opportunity to converge on a unique target audience and share expertise on domains as well as what’s to come with new gTLDs and the future of the internet.” With many of Sedo’s partners being headquartered in North America, this event offers exposure to people and companies who likely wouldn’t cross paths with the company at other events.

Here is some additional information about Sedo’s promotion at dmexico that was shared with me:
