Default Examples of endusers buying .IN domains

Looks like some of the Indian domains that were reported ended up with end users. Examples:

Leds.in now forwards to Leds.com, which is owned by the LUXX group. One of the products LUXX sells is LED lighting fixtures. The domain sold for $7,973 in April 2008.

Zoom.in forwards to ZoomIn.com. "ZoomIn" is an online photo printing service. The domain sold for $3,000 in November 2006.

RobotShop.in, which forwards to RobotShop.com, is owned by RobotShop Inc. The domain sold for 1,500 Eur or about $1,971 in April 2009.

Tpa.in is owned by TPA Holding BV. The domain sold for €1000 or about $1,300 in 2008.

Bain.in is owned by Bain & Company. The domain sold for $1,000 (unknown date).

iPromote.in, which forwards to iPromote.com, is owned by iPromote, a division of 2KDirect, Inc. The domain sold for $550 in November 2008.

Both ConferenceCall.co.in and ConferenceCalls.co.in forward to ConferenceCalls.com. The company, Universal Calling Inc, offers worldwide conference call services and conference call software. Each domain sold for $499 in September 2007.

Anyone else have examples?

Edit: I've added the dates when the domains were originally sold.

Interesting to know - thanks for doing this!

Ultimately, it's end user money that drives the market, so I'm glad to see that this is happening so often.

I forgot GNI.in but I gave it to them so no sales figures.

A couple of goodies that I cannot disclose, quite a few around I think.
