Domain Investing Stats and Tips

Lifestyle.com has a 2 million pound bid on Sedo

May 22, 2020 by Raymond Hackney

Sedo Lifestyle.com

Lifestyle.com is at auction on Sedo and a bid was made for 2,000,000 GBP, ($2,436,480).

The domain looks like it was pushed to auction, with this bid as it just happened and has 6 days to run.

Seems like a risky strategy if it’s a legit bid. You would hope Sedo has something in place for verification on a bid of this size.

There are no notes like contact Dave Evanson or anything like that on the landing page.

Lifestyle.com

The domain name Lifestyle.com was registered in 1995 and has been parked at Sedo forĀ  years. Whois information has been under privacy.

Many years back circa 2005 the domain redirected to cinema.com. Going further back into the 1990’s the domain had a risque, NSFW type website. It was going under Lifestyle Online.

The domain name was owned by Easysoft Limited out of the U.K. They could be the seller.

If it is a legit bid and the sale goes through it will be the largest sale of the year by a wide margin.

A look at Google shows a great number of businesses operating with Lifestyle has their second keyword in their two word .com domain name.

Lifestyles.com is a large condom brand.

    Who’s the greedy fool who didn’t accept the offer as is?

    WOW!!! hope it’s real that would be a great sale anytime. Add to that in a pandemic and it’s an incredible sale.

    Really peculiar, send to auction? It seems implausible that anyone would risk this. The bidder cannot be happy, two million pounds just sitting on hold for a week, you say?

    I doubt the bid is real. Who offers 2M pounds as an initial offer? And who is greedy enough not to jump on it? Might be the same person.

    I can understand the psychology of the owner to a point. I know him, and I know he doesn’t need the money so probably wouldn’t be devastated if it fell through. I think he also wanted to give all other previous interested parties one last shot – you never know when a bidding war may break out as there will never be another opportunity to buy Lifestyle.com. That’s my reading of it anyway.

        Andy could be the owner, bidder and online advocate.
