e.co Sold for $81,000

Yesterday, the domain name, e.co, was sold on Sedo.com at an amount of $81, 000. The proceeds from this domain name sale go to the charity of the buyer’s choice.

It was reported that the winners are still to be announced, but inside sources said that Lonnie Borck from B52 Media and Uri Kerbel from Bookmarks.com have both won the charity domain auction, and are keeping the name of the charity the proceeds will be donated to a secret.

The e.co auction was held live at this week’s Internet Week conference in New York City. The domain was made available on auction by the .co Internet, who operates the .co top level domain registry. It was reported that a number of 20 people were bidding on the domain name.
