The domain name Diamond.com is back on the market and it is being brokered by GoDaddy.
In 2006, Ice.com bought Diamond.com for $7.5 million for Qdimo.
Diamond.com is the 5th largest all cash domain sale of all time.
“If you consider that in nine years, the market has gone up, we hope for a better number than [the previous sale],” says Paul Nicks, senior director of aftermarket at GoDaddy. “If you look at the top end of the domain market, it’s all generic.”
Shmuel Gniwisch, former ice.com CEO, says his company wanted to sell the domain, as it is “slowly getting out of the online business. The site gets thousands of visitors each month and we are not spending any money. People feel it’s a destination to start off with.
