REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Innuity, Inc. (OTC BB: INNU, innnuity.com), a Software as a Service (SaaS) company that designs, acquires and integrates affordable solutions for small businesses has completed a sale of its vista.com domain name, and all registration rights to its “VISTA” trademark, to VistaPrint Limited (Nasdaq: VPRT) for $1.25 million.

Prior to this purchase, Innuity and VistaPrint, the leading online supplier of high-quality graphic design services and customized printed products to small businesses and consumers, had been engaged in a business partnership involving advertising traffic from Innuity’s vista.com Web site. Innuity had discontinued using its vista.com Web site as a primary corporate business site following the company’s name change to Innuity in late 2005 (previously operated as Vista).

“The sale of the vista.com domain name and VISTA trademark represents a win-win for both Innuity and VistaPrint,” said John Wall, Innuity chairman and CEO. “Innuity gains a revenue return for assets no longer relevant to our day-to-day business and VistaPrint now owns properties with long-term upside potential to its business.”

I think $1.25 million is almost peanuts :rolleyes: for this domain(included trademark) what do you say?
I think this is a low ball deal.

I agree. I think M$ could have put at least $10m down on the table on the basis that use of that domain could generate business for their ailing OS. Or $25m - whatever - it's nothing to Microsoft. Crazy stuff.

They got robbed. $1.25m is nothing for vista.com considering the circumstances.

I agree it's low but anything over one million is nothing to shake a stick at.
