Escom Sells Sex.com Through Sedo for Record $13 Million
Online domain specialist Sedo.com today announced the sale of the Sex.com domain name for a record $13 million. The sale was brokered by one of Sedoâs senior domain brokers, Jeffrey Gabriel, who conducted a three-month search for a buyer on behalf of Escom in accordance with an order issued by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.
âWe are very pleased with the fact that the bankruptcy process provided a basis for the sale of the domain free and clear of all creditor liens, which has now yielded this record breaking price,â stated Del Anthony, CEO/President of Escom.
âIt is very rare when a domain name of this quality and value becomes available, and we are pleased that Sedo was involved with this historic event. To our knowledge, this sale represents the single largest recorded price paid for a domain name in the history of the Internet,â said Gabriel.
Escom acquired the domain in 2006 for a then record $11.5 million. Sedoâs recent $13 million sale of Sex.com now holds the record as the largest domain sale to date, which further demonstrates the continued demand for premium domains and the increasing value of Sex.com.
