Three-letter .net leads as NamesCon charity auction raises €4,150 for Kenyan school
A domain auction at NamesCon Europe raised €4,150 for charity today.
A total of 22 domains were sold, each of which had been donated by a conference attendee.
The top sale was bbe.net, which went for €650, followed by xvs.net, which fetched €500.
The three-letter jjh.org went for €150, which some said was a bargain.
Also selling were smartphone.global and caring.global for €450 and €400 respectively.
The auction was organized by Shaun Wilkinson, COO of domain broker Nidoma, who wants to raise a total of €6,500 during NamesCon for the Hope Children’s Centre, which is trying to finish building a secondary school in Kenya.
Anyone wishing to help the charity reach its target can donate online here.
