Afternic.com has just published a couple nice five figure sales that have just cleared.
ExtremeFitness.com sold for $25,000 USD
Follow.net sold for $20,000 USD
ExtremeFitness.com was "listed" for $45,000 so there was some going back and forth between buyer and seller. According to whois records, the new owner is a Steven Mandell of Ohio.
Follow.net was owned by Marchex and they appear to have sold it to Original Web Ventures around June/August 2011. Follow.net was listed for $25K, so not far off of the sales price. According to whois records, the new owner is a Wes Mahler of San Francisco. I wasn't able to dig up a sales price when it changed hand in 2011.
LinkPay.com sold for $9K
YouSolar.com sold for $9K
And the "fun" and "interesting" domain that grabbed my eye while flying through the recent sales at Afternic was…… FlyingLobster.com which took home $888! I never have seen a flying lobster before and likely never will, nor would have I registered the domain 😉 It was registered 8/18/2012! This was likely a case of the past owner let it expire and likely didn't intend to and paid for it.
FYI: "Recently Sold" domain names are listed on Afternic.com's website when the funds are released to the seller and the transaction completes. Feel free to use the link and checkout some more recent sales via Afternic. As always, not "all" sales are published as many like to stay private and not have the price paid for the domain plastered all over the web 😉
