Here are some domain name movers that I detected that may not have been publicly announced otherwise. Most were purchased by large companies or simply moving for one reason or another.
LawBreakers.com has been purchased by a currently unknown CSC Corporate Domains client using Afternic. The domain was reported sold in 2007 for $2,500 but the domain appears to have sold several times since then. The past owners according to whois was Marketing Ventures in 2013 and early 2014 and Media Networking, LLC in later 2014 and early 2015.
HugeDomains owns LawBreakers.net and BuyDomains owns LawBreakers.org with both domains being for sale.
FMQ.com has been sold according to whois records. The domain name appears to have been acquired by Seek To Inspire Media of San Antonio Texas about 11/24/2014. The domain has a coming soon page that states…. Future Home Of Something Quite Cool
FMQ.com was parked with DomainNameSales.com and had a for sale lander on the domain name.
YouthForChange.com has been purchased by a currently unknown CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. client from BuyDomains.com . The domain had a listing price of $2,388
SweatShop.com appears to have been acquired by SportsDirect.com Retail Ltd from a The Pynchon Group out of Canada. There was a slight change in whois on 1/26/2015 when the registrant email address changed from [email protected] to [email protected] and the registrant name also changed to Dave Thomas but all other details remained the same. The domain then transferred registrars from Domain.com to NetNames on 2/9/2015. The domain name has been registered since 1996.
Bang-Board.com was registered by Showtime Newtworks Inc. and they do not own the non-hyphenated version currently, which is listed with a BIN at $1,250 via Afternic currently. The .com owner has been given a heads up!
LinksToTheGame.com has been registered by Fox Inc.
NestPro.com has likely been acquired by Google. The domain was owned by Momentum Ads from India and was registered with BigRock. In October 2013 the domain went into privacy protection and was also registry locked. On November 21, 2014 the domain name was transferred to Dynadot under privacy protection. On 2/9/2015 the domain name transferred to MarkMonitor under Matt Serlin / DNStination Inc.
“Nest Pro” relates to sellers/installers of the Nest product. Nest is currently using a sub-domain via pro.nest.com to help promote it.
OVI.tv was dropped or something along those lines by Nokia. I do not follow .tv domains but I know they hold many as “premium” but then I heard they weren’t doing the “premium” thing any longer or the premium prices… so anyway, OVI.tv according to whois records it appears to have expired about 12/3/2014 and was registered at MarkMonitor. Upon visiting ovi.tv, there is now a lander with a video on it and showing the domain is “available”. Doing an availability search at Dynadot, reveals the domain is “available” for $431.25. eNom is offering it as a premium for $449. Name.com shows the domain available for $468.75 with $35 annual renewal. I didn’t check any other registrars after that, but clearly price varies upon registrar.
i was gonna say something but it’s noon and i’ve already started drinking so i forgot what i was gonna say.
but i like that you post these things.
Why such a late start drinking today? 🙂

It goes to show you how far reaching your blog is. BangBoard.com price increased already to $4,995. The marketing team at Showtime are idiots. $1,250 is a drop in the bucket for them.
@Todd,
DotWeekly does have a reach… but I’m also a nice guy and contacted the owners directly to let them know.
I think SweatShop is a terrible domain name purchase! :/
