Back in mid August the domain name Fanbase.com closed at auction on GoDaddy at $151,000.
A website went live today and it looks like the site is going to be a service to provide another avenue for content creators and publishers to get paid. Just create content, publish it and interact with your fanbase.
The buyer is out of Germany, Fanbase GmbH. Checking out the USPTO website there are 6 live trademarks for Fanbase.
Two weeks after the Fanbase.com auction ended, Fanbase.ch sold for $3,466 on Sedo. Checking .ch whois they acquired that domain name as well. Nameservers not updated yet.
Stefan Wiegard the managing director is involved in a lot of businesses.

6 live trademarks?
For an individual (domainer) trying to sell the domain name for $150,000, very possibly a udrp complaint with an adverse ruling, on the line for lawyer’s fees for the defense, stress, diminishment of reputation, etc.
For the auction platform Godaddy, a six-figure sale with no questions asked.
None of the trademarks are in the space that this new company is in.
