Dots.com Domain Name Sells For $335,000
The domain name Dots.com was sold for $335,000 by Hilco Streambank to an individual investor. The rest of the package was sold to New Dots LLC for $326,000.
According to whois records, the domain name was first registered in 1995.
According to Jack Hazan, Hilco Streambank Executive Vice President :
“It was fascinating that the domain actually sold for more than the rest of the IP, which included established trademarks and a strong customer database. The auction was very active with many rounds of bidding. Bids started at 100,000 for the domain alone and went up in 10,000 increments. Another domain bidder dropped out at 260,000 and the winner was bid up further by the package bidders. The package winner outbid our stalking horse bidder – Rainbow Shops. The sale is scheduled to be approved by the bankruptcy court next week.”
Congratulations to both the seller and the buyer.
