Yesterday saw the wholesale sale of gas.com.au for $25,000 on the expired domain auctions held by Drop.com.au.
The domain name was purchased by a Melbourne business, presumably for their heating and cooling business.
The lucky Melbourne buyer grabbed themselves a bargain after Air Liquide a large gas producer head quartered in Melbourne let this valuable domain name expire.
We have previously reported significant .au domains cooking with gas, achieving great sales prices, such as money.com.au for $400,000 and sleep.com.au for $100,000.
Covid 19 has seen a significant pivot by Australian businesses who have chosen to upgrade their domain names and websites to take advantage of lock downs and social distancing. Industry experts expect strong demand in premium .au domain names to continue.
Good domain but it went cheap. A 24 hour auction and most corporates can’t answer the phones at the moment let alone renew their domain name licenses apparently. Congrats to the buyer, the domain is easily worth more than $100,000.
