Sedo.com Brokers The Sale Of IPO.com For $500K

2010 September 22
by Michael H. Berkens

Talk about a killer domain at a great price, Sedo.com has just completed brokering the domain name IPO.com for $500K.

Jeff  Gabriel and Matt Rosebrook co-brokered the domain on behalf of Sedo.com

Personally I think its one of the better buys of the year.

I know the IPO market has been soft through the recession but we all know at some point in the next year or two this sector of the market is going to come back strong and its a category killer.

Congratulations to the buyer and the seller.

In case your wondering, IPO.co is a domain reserved by the .co registry.

    Really impressive domain. The investment community will likely have a new stop on the internet highway. Hope this becomes a fine-tuned, content rich site. Could eventually generate a lot of traffic and advertising dollars.

    Hey Hey Nice sale. I could always go for an extra 500k in my pocket.
    As mentioned IPO.co is one of the reserved registry names.
    I wonder if this will have a positive effect when that name comes up for auction?

    Does anyone know when the .co registry is going to start those auctions? I am just curious.

    If all goes well with the IPO.co (Initial public offering) auction, I will think about tossing in my PEG.co (Price/Earnings To Growth (PEG) Ratio).
    Who knows I might have something there.

    Good sale for the buyer. I agree with your assessment that sooner or later the economy will bounce back and that name will have a solid meaning again.

    Just the way I see it
    Cheers

    Dot CO rain on premium dot com parade !!!

    Look at how many .com premium at Epik auction and how many had sold – ZERO

    Look at the list of premium domains at DomainFest Prague – let see how many will sell

    A lot of premium dot com owners are trying to unload at discount price – what is the reason? are they werry that .co will eat their lunch or dinner

    Chinese domainers has a lot of money but they wont buy .com premium – they only like number especially NNN in .com, .cn, .net and .co

    Wow, best buy of the year in my opinion. Unbelievable development potential!

    Congrats to the brokers!

    …and no, I wasn’t wondering if IPO.co was reserved :-)

    a .NY TLD is a good idea that could be able to sell much more domains than .co IF can be bought worldwide

    @ MHB

    Then I’ll be able to get Asia.NYC to go along with my existing NYC.asia ….just like two peas in a pod — LOL

    I don’t think those are two peas in a pond

    .Asia (which I don’t or have ever owned one) is a region and in my mind is very much like .Eu

    .NYC will be a very good and sort after extension.

    I have no doubt that domains like lawyer.nyc, condos.nyc and doctors.nyc will be sort after.

    @ MHB

    I was just being a bit facetious and “tounge in cheek” with the .NYC — .Asia “two peas in a pod” crack …. thus the LOL

    I do largely agree with you on the .EU — .ASIA comparison.

    I actually only have one .Asia …. the afforementioned NYC.asia …… I won it as at a low price lot in Moniker’s Live Auction at the Ft. Lauderdale DomainFest in May

    It was a No Reserve entry ….and I got it for $300 — I viewed it as inexpensive speculation on a 3 letter domain…eventhough the extention to the right of the dot has more letters — LOL

    No Worries !

    “.nyc will be out in 2012″

    Has Hillary decided to run against BO ?

    .NY and .NYC are part the Clinton’s retirement

    I hope .nyc and .usstate (like .Nj) become popular. I own quite a few top cctld names for a certain US state.

    Once a few start becoming popular then quite a few people could automatically assume that, say, doctors.ma is to find Massachusetts doctors. In any case, the value would only increase.

    IPO.com is still in escrow/transfers at SEDO….with respect to who the $500,000 buyer is, the suspense is really building.
