[QUOTE="angel69, post: 2238297, member: 97749"] I agree, I'm surprised the selling price was so low, I would've expected the buyer to pay so much more. I also agree the domain alone is worth so much money regardless of the company behind it. And I'm even more surprised at who the buyer was, Freelancer. That's not mainstream to say the least. Weird. GoDaddy is a good example of who should've acquired them, GD does not have an escrow unit and sends customers to Escrow.com when the sale is $1K or more I don't think Escrow.com has that many competitors (dushan's comment), they were able to corner the domain market like no other escrow co. eCop is no real competitor, not even close. That service has a few problems with it and doesn't have the stature Escrow.com enjoys. As for Sedo, Moniker, etc their escrow service is usually there to complement a sale. And while you can use Sedo n Moniker for escrow even when the domain sale did not take place there, it's not common to do that. You'd typically end up on Escrow.com or take your chances with a straight Paypal sale And right on, dictionaryof .....LMFAO, I wonder if they used themselves for their own transaction of Freelancer acquiring them. $66K or so would've been their own fee, good money was to be on that one [/QUOTE]
