So you can see that 125.com almost doubled the previous high sale 357.com. The domain was registered in 1997 and dropped twice before that. Up until July 2013 the domain was registered to a Richard Brodie out of Vermont, the domain went under privacy but the name servers stayed the same.

Screenshots show a reference to a poet Ellin Anderson, who looks to have written books with Brodie and resides in Vermont as well.

Congrats to the seller on topping the charts on 4.cn.

    It would be helpful to list also dates of such historical sales, otherwise the table is very misleading.

        Yeah, it would require some additional research. That’s a major difference between being a reporter and being just a repeater.

        • Raymond Hackney says

          There was no repeating, this story was the first on the sale, so nice try. Secondly whois changes won’t say that is when the sale definitely took place. 4.cn provides no dates of when their sales took place.

            Was this an expired auction ? Thanks for the reporting of the sale, I would never have seen this.

    358.com is in redemption period.
    registered with enom it should have went to namejet expired auctions, OR be retained by Enom for their portfolio. let’s see if it magically gets recovered.
