Is DWN.com Sale The Deal of The Year?
March 28, 2017 @ 12:43 PMI received Sedo’s weekly domain name sales report, and I am somewhat stunned to see a valuable LLL.com domain name sell for just 2,999 EUR. According to the weekly Sedo report, DWN.com sold this past week via Sedo for 2,999 EUR. This is roughly $3,243 USD. I am not sure if the seller listed it for sale on the marketplace and it was bought immediately or if the buyer and seller reached a deal privately and transacted via Sedo. Although I am a bit disengaged from the LLL.com market at the moment, I would think a domain name like this is worth…

ATC.com, Registered in 1990, Subject of UDRP
March 27, 2017 @ 4:52 PMA UDRP was filed against the three letter ATC.com domain name. The UDRP was filed at the National Arbitration Forum (NAF), and it is case #1722646. I noticed the UDRP filing this evening when searching UDRPSearch.com. In my opinion, this LLL.com domain name could be worth six figures. ATC.com was registered nearly 30 years ago – in September of 1990 to be more precise. I don’t see many UDRP proceedings involving domain names that are this old…
