Publicly traded company Autodesk, Inc. has purchased the premium generic domain name Graphic.com from another public company, GoDaddy.com.
GoDaddy is listed on NYSE: GDDY with a market cap of $3.99 Billion. Autodesk is listed on NASDAQ: ADSK which has a $9.95 Billion market cap.
The domain name was part of the domain name portfolio GoDaddy acquired from Marchex in a $28.1 Million dollar deal in April 2015.
How much did Graphic.com sell for? That is a good question but not something disclosed at this point.
IMO, it was likely six figures but GoDaddy hasn’t been publicly releasing sales prices of the domains they have been selling out of the Marchex portfolio.
GoDaddy has sold several high-profile domain names like Beijing.com as TheDomains broke the news on which had a reported $3M offering price (in the comment section) and many others like Futbol.com and more domains as I often report in the Domain Movers series.
Estibot.com appraises the domain name Graphic.com at $310,000.
Autodesk, Inc. is “an American multinational software corporation that makes software for the architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, media, and entertainment industries” according to Wikipedia.org.
The domain name Graphic.com doesn’t resolve yet at time of publication, but here is the latest whois records showing Autodesk as the owners:
I have reached out to GoDaddy once again, in an effort to publicly release some of these sales prices… but at time of publication I did not hear back yet. I will update when and if I do.
