Sera.com Auction

[Seraphim]

Did anyone here follow the expiring domain auction for sera.com over tdnam. It went for $5K, seemed like a good deal to me if the owner doesn't reclaim. Supposedly it gets around 7400+ visitors a month, plus it has good PR. Does $5k seem worth it?

Does anyone know what the likelihood is of the previous owner trying to buy back a premium name that expired? What about the chance they will try and sue, as I'm sure they'll be flaming pissed off when they realize it's gone, and think it was hijacked? Anyone have experience with this.

That's a really good price. Good 4 letter .com domains are hard to come by these days. They will definitely make their money back in marketability/branding potential.

Maybe it is, or maybe not. But keep in mind that words and phrases, exactly translated, don't have the same significance or value in different cultures. "cool.com" is a great domain name in English, but translating that to other languages and adding a com might just leave, you, well "cold"

Capiche?

$5000 is a good selling price...I don't see it being worth nearly that much. Seller got a good deal - buyer shouldn't have let it expire. Seller should reclaim and resell IMO.
