The Sedo.com .Me week-long auction ended today with over $150,000 in sales. Here is a list of all of the domains that sold, and their final selling price. Although everyone would like to think they got a bargain for a particular domain, time will show that there were a fair number of both reaches and steals. It will be interesting to see how many of these premium names went to end-users (people who will build a website on them) and how many went to investors.

Want a chance to own a premium one word domain name, but can’t afford a .com? The world’s largest domain name sales marketplace, Sedo, kicked off a week long auction today for some of the most amazing dot me (.me) domains in existence! .Me is the fastest selling top level domain (TLD) in history. Rick Schwartz, investor, entrepreneur and consensus King of the domain industry, believes that there are currently only three TLD’s worth investing in: dot com, dot tv and dot me. Rick would certainly know, he was part of a group of investors that sold the domain ‘Meet.Me’ for $450,000 in late 2011.

With the world moving to the internet via computer, TV, or phone, domain names are as becoming more important than ever. Once you own a domain name, all you must do is pay for its renewal each year, and you’ll own it forever. Domain names that receive a lot of traffic are similar to a popular mall or tourist destination; they get access to a lot of visitors, and their wallets as well.

Early-adopters known as domain investors or ‘domainers’ have made a living off of owning premium domain names. Premium generic terms such as credit, jobs, and law reign supreme. Originally based on the core of .com, .org, and .net, the internet is rapidly expanding, creating many more opportunities to own a corner of the web.
