Fly.co.za was originally registered back in 1997 and has changed hands a few times until finally ending up in the hands of Relentless media a UK based new media company with a strong leaning towards domain names as both investors and brokers.
Sale price: US$20 000 or around R150 000
Another domain registered back in 1997 which has also changed hands a few times since then. The interesting this is that it has changed from domain investor to domain investor and is still not in the hands of an end user. This will be a very interesting domain to watch in the near future.
Other recent sales that have gone unreported are engagementring.co.za and diamondring.co.za which were recently sold to Crai Marks Diamonds and Diplomas.co.za, ouch.co.za, s.co.za, domains.co.za.
