GoDaddy and their Namefind.com sold a bunch of “The” related domain names over the past few days.
Furniture Row purchased the domain TheShowroom.com, which was once owned by Michael, when Michael owned the domain he turned down a $10,000 offer. The domain was registered in 2003.
Furniture Row is a developed website that sells furniture of course. They do own a number of other websites:
Denver Mattress

gtlds are 10 years of renewals before you can realize break even, otherwise pony up 4 figures a year for renewals of premium terms that earn no ppc
Sheoran says
I like “The” domains as well, own two of them: TheWebhosting.com, TheExpress.com.

would like more to see a post about several LLL.com domains sold by MHB this year that are going up for auction at NameJet.
about a year ago MHB was telling that he was not selling an LLL.com for less than $100k. a block sale has to be done at lower prices but it is interesting to see that it could be so lower that the new owner can sell it for much less on NameJet, unless he’s selling at a loss…
Host.tips says
I have sold TheTLD(.)com for low $XX lol

Godaddy sold about 60 of the LLL.com to one buyer shortly after the sale.
Other have been sold over time since the sale.
We report sales we track of our domains and marchex domains on our twitter feed @thedomains

The clueless support at the the horrible godaddy lied to me and told me the domain i won was not picked up by the godaddy tech department . The liars lied and the liars were caught when i told the godaddy support team that the godaddy portfolio for the NAMEFIND domains was the course where I won the domain.
The nerve of the support at godaddy to lie is awful. I have no domain that i paid and am looking at options to rectify this.
