After a successful sale of QM.net now KQ.net up for sale on Namepros
A couple weeks ago I wrote about QM.net being put up for auction on Namepros. You don’t see a valuable, liquid name such as a 2L.net be put up with a $1 start, no reserve. The auction started on July 29, so it took two weeks to close but the auction closed at $13,777 and won by Ian Mcalister.

OE.com listed on Namepros with a buy it now price
You don't see many six figure listings on Namepros that actually justify a six figure price. Here is an exception as member Maxx500 has put OE.com up for sale with a buy it now price of $645,000.
