“Geographic domain names have always been really popular, and one of the reasons is that they are trademark free. We have done a lot of these transactions over the years and they have seen some of the biggest prices – they are hot commodities. This trend is now moving to state names and even city names, we even brokered ‘southie.com’ a while ago.” (Jeremiah Johnston COO of SEDO).
