SnipesShop.de was $50,000 buyer of Snipes.com
Company shrinks URL and gets a .com for its online store.
In December Afternic reported that it had brokered the sale of Snipes.com for $50,000.
I’ve patiently watched the domain as it sat in escrow for a loooong time.
The whois record on the domain name just changed to reveal the buyer: Snipes GmbH.
The company sells sportswear and skate clothing at SnipesShop.de.
It already owned Snipes.de, which it forwarded to SnipesShop.de. Getting Snipes.com is even better and well worth the money. It now forwards to SnipesShop.de as well.
The only buyer I could think of when I saw the sale was actor Wesley Snipes, but I can’t think of any celebrities that have shelled out big bucks for their last name domain name.
