CIF.com Sells For $17K On NameJet.com

by Michael H. Berkens

A nice three letter .com, CIF.com sold today on NameJet.com for $ 17,001.

The domain definitely has some traffic according to Alexa but its the highest LLL.com sale I’ve seen on NameJet.com is quite a while.

A pretty interesting domain for our industry also sold today on NameJet.com for $1,500, parkingrevenue.com

    CIF is a very common abbreviation in the international trade (import-export) industry.

    It represents Cost, Insurance and Freight.

    The CIF acronym is also used as California’s High School Sports governing body, it must generate huge albeit tough to monetize traffic in that category.

    Cif is also a well known cleaning product range, formerly sold as Jif (in UK)

    unilever.co.uk/brands/homecarebrands/cif.aspx

    Could have been an enduser in it as it was at 10k even before it was caught by Namejet.

    Strange how a LLL.com owned by answerable.com got as far as the pending delete phase considering most (if not all) of their names go to Snap auction.

    …must have slipped through their net.

    Cif is a cleaning product range made by Unilever and sold all over the world. The buyer of Cif.com is at risk of a UDRP claim.

    MrMuscle, it is only at risk if it infringes on those TMs.
    If the buyer makes it a international trade site or is used by a shipping company, it shouldn’t be a problem.
    (I did not check USPTO)

    Unilever also owns brands like
    sunlight, surf, comfort, dove, close up, ponds, signal, wishbone, etc.
    They own 3 of the above terms in .com.

    surf, ponds, dove

    Almost every domain is at risk for a UDRP.
