Posted June 29th, 2011
This year’s record breaking domain sale of Social.com comes courtesy of Marksmen’s sales division, NameQuiver, in partnership with Moniker and SnapNames.
The purchase of the domain for $2.6 million (previously reported as $2.5 million) by an undisclosed buyer was, according to the press release: “negotiated privately after an initial multi-million dollar offer.” The sale was co-brokered during DomainFest Europe in Barcelona, Spain.
Marksmen Inc CEO Ken Taylor said of the sale: “We’re very pleased with our partnership and Moniker’s ability to attract a buyer for Social.com, culminating in this successful outcome. We look forward to continuing to use our unique position in the industry to connect premium domain names to our clients and other end-users via auctions and private brokering.”
The release also states that: “Brokers considered Social.com a category-defining domain name at a time when social media has become the single largest growth sector on the Internet.”
Congratulations to Marksmen, NameQuiver, Moniker, SnapNames and the Undisclosed Buyer on this exciting transaction.
