MIAMI.US on Sedo Auction
The domain name, Miami.us, is currently available to the highest bidder at Sedo’s online auction. Miami is a hotspot, metropolitan destination with tons of big city cachet. At the moment, the reserve price of $15,000 has been met … and only 4 days left to go in the auction.
One thing is for certain, there are many wealthy residents, investors and Miami-area businesses that probably don’t even know Miami.us is on the auction block. The Miami Herald operate the corresponding .com site so one might assume they would have an interest in the outcome. Might some new online media network jump at the chance to give Miami’s millions another choice for online travel, news, entertainment, business, and social networking? We’ll see!
Speaking of Miami.us business uses, one could easily see the local real estate community gobble up this domain and launch one outstanding Miami real estate portal. Being a .US geo domain owner myself, I know the value of the .US namespace to foreign visitors who often assume that anything.us is the official web address here in the United States.
Hats off to Mr. Bruce Murray, listed as the official registrant of Miami.us in the Neustar whois registry. These are interesting times for premium domain enthusiasts. Can someone please get this auction on the 6:00 o’clock evening news? Deep pockets deserve to know.
Quick Update: Mr. Murray reports a pending Sedo sale for his CapeCod.info. He is also the owner of Anaheim.us, a great city & home of every child’s vacation dream … Disneyland.
Geo domains seem to be gathering steam these days. Dubai.info was recently sold via Great Domains for $35,000.
Final Update: Miami.us was purchased for $15,000. The new registrant is Site Method Media, LLC based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. An incredible acquisition for them.
