The Linea.com domain name was in an expiry auction at NameJet that closed this afternoon. The highest bid was $200,000, and I am pretty certain this auction will successfully close. There were two bidders who bid on this domain name past the $70k mark.
When this auction closes, it will be the tenth largest domain name auction on NameJet, according to NameBio records. It will be slightly higher than the 2021 sale of Operate.com, and just lower than the $201,100 sale of 281.com in 2016. We are early in the year, but this $200,000 sale will tie for the 10th largest publicly reported sale of the year on DNJournal once it closes.
In looking through my own bidding history on NameJet, I can see the winning bidder has won some large auctions before on the platform. That is why I am quite sure this auction will be paid for and completed.
As soon as it is paid for, NameJet will report the sale to DNJournal and NameBio, where it will become officially sold.
Update: The Whois record has changed indicating the payment was made for this domain name.
