Congrats to Leo.
That’s a lesson on how selling domains at these types of auctions is a bad idea.
what is so special about this string of 4 letters?
I would say it’s a play on Fiber/Fibre. There are some companies using Fibr, https://www.fibr.tech/
[The seller of fibr.com] Thank you for the post, Raymond.
You are correct. I ran Google ads marketing campaigns targeting fiber-related industries: textiles, nutrition, and fiber optics/communications/5g, and proposing that “fibr” is the common denominator of both the English spellings fiber and fibre, as well as of fibra, the Romance languages word. I believed in the name’s broad applicability and that it is easily recognizable by the majority of the western world.
Partially confirming this, the first serious offer came late last year from a North-European textile manufacturer at 20,000 USD.
I don’t know who the current owner is. It might very well be another domain investor with access to the Verizon or Huawei CMOs.
I would like to acknowledge Domaining Ocean, who helped broker the sale.
Thank you,
Leo
Congrats Leo, very well done.
