The Curious Case of NewYorkApartmentsForSale.com
The domain sale of NewYorkApartmentsForSale.com was reported by us here on January 12,2012. The domain was sold by Michael Berkens of Most Wanted Domains.
There were some who have consistently brought this sale up on Namepros and have updated a thread since the sale. The thread has over 60 posts and you can read it here.
May 6 there was a comment,
Well, here is something new.
The domain is still in Sedo's escrow, no suprise there.
But when you now go to the site it redirects you to a real estate management company in Sana Ana Calif.
So a domain name about New York Apartments For Sale that sold for $42,000 is redirecting you to a real estate site in California.
This gets more strange every time I look into it.
The reason some are questioning the sale is that the name now links back to the mostwanteddomains.com website.
I spoke to Mike on Twitter months back and let him know about the thread and if there was any info. He said he was paid and did not know nothing else.
Sedo really needs to have the whois update faster than six months as it makes some people start questioning the validity of the sale. Of course some people take extra time in transferring out or forget about it, but for $42,000 you would think someone was on top of the domain.
It looks real odd showing Sedo for that long of time.
