Sixteen domain names end users bought
The real market is the one where a fig tree seller, not a speculator, writes the cheque.
End-user purchases are the quiet proof of aftermarket value. Sixteen buyers who run actual businesses — a fig tree seller, a personal trainer, a speakers bureau — paid real money for names that fit their operations.
That is the machinery beneath the headlines: investors bid on liquidity, but end users bid on identity. The gap between the two is where brokerage margins live.
Sedo’s top public sale this week, nuq.com at $95,000, is a different animal — a short, investment-grade asset. Bot.si at $20,000 shows geographic and niche appetite still has traction.
