Sale of iPhone.com
Last month there was a sale of iPhone.com.
The buyer: Apple Computer The Seller registered it in 1995 and used it for the cellphone sales. His biz was netting less than $100 a month. Negotiations took more than 2 years. The final price was $37.5 mil Compare with $12 mil for sex.com Not IDN though. |

How did you come up with a $37.5 mil? Read from somewhere on the internet? I don't believe apple will pay more than $3 mil for iphone.com. The ovt with extension for iphone.com is only 1000, i got many idns with more than that! |

Re: Sale of iPhone.com
The Seller was represented by a very young but able lawyer.
They threw a curveball at Jobs: $100 mil take it or leave it. Meanwhile, they also took several TM's for their domain in US & EU SJ is still recovering from the deal Last edited by goidn; 07-11-2007 at 05:57 PM.. |

Re: Sale of iPhone.com
Apple needs iphone.com. If Apple did not own it, it would be an embarrassment for Apple. Apple takes care of Apple's image.

Re: Sale of iPhone.com
xxbossmanxx may have a point.
Phone.com domain was actively marketed by two Califorina guys who bought it at the bankruptcy sale for a little more than $100k. Phone.com used to be a $5B public company which collapsed you know when. They were asking $750,000 at Afternic, but privately they indicated that they would do a deal at a $400k level. |

The name has likely cost apple well over 37 million for the right to use Cisco's trademark:
