Continue ReadingA handful of expired gems on GoDaddy including a 3L and 4N.com
GoDaddy auctions has a handful of gems that you normally don’t let expire. Last week I wrote about a 3L.com DAE.com which closed at $126,000 and the week before a 4N.com 4600.com expired and closed at $68,000.

Recently I wrote about the sale of 13591.com for 13,500 yuan and added a Chinese meaning. In a comment, investor Rune said his domain 17515.com also has a good meaning.
