has finally changed hands, three months after
it was auctioned off by Sedo's GreatDomains.com
with a winning bid of $2.6 million. However, the
new owner, |
|
Philadelphia's National
A-1 (according to the updated WhoIs record), is not
believed to have paid that high a price, apparently having
stepped in and picked up the domain after the original
winning bidder bowed out. It looks like the new purchase
price was subject to a non disclosure agreement and
will not be released. Sedo confirmed to us today that they
could not release details. We also requested information
from National A-1 (who has been a home page advertiser at
DN Journal for nearly two years) but historically they
have not disclosed details of their transactions. The
seller, Chris Clark, told |
Domain
Name Wire's Andrew Allemann that a deal had
been completed, but he also declined to reveal financial
details of the transaction. |
Mainstream
press around the world jumped on the story of the original
auction sale, but none bothered to follow up and report
that the winning bidder never completed the transaction.
This is the reason we do not report "sales" from
the industry's many live auctions until the domains have
been paid for and transferred to the new owners.
