That’s the $48,002 domain name
Last year then-Boston Globe columnist (now Bloomberg editor) Steve Bailey wrote a piece on the Feds’ dismantling of local non-profit The Environmental Careers Organization. Today the organization’s web site domain name – eco.org – sold for $48,002 in an online auction. The name is valuable because it is short, and perhaps also because it still has a lot of incoming links from .edu and .gov sites.
Warren Agin, who handled ECO’s bankruptcy, described earlier this year why he put up the domain for auction on Sedo. The post makes me believe he expected to get about $100,000 for the domain, twice as much as the auction actually netted.
