SPB.com sold for $65,000 at Sedo

[Ceres]

I saw on Sedo's recent sales list that SPB.com has sold for $65,000. Whois history shows the domain was just transferred from SPB Online Services, Ltd. to SPB Software Inc.

The purchaser currently uses the domain SPBSoftwareHouse.com, so SPB.com is a great acquisition from them.

What's the average price for a decent LLL.com these days?

Edit: Things just got interesting. The purchaser originally tried get this domain (from the current seller) via National Arbitration Forum and lost.

Timely action and due diligence does cost a great deal! Literally in this case!!

The complainant began using SPB mark on 01 Jan 2001 but submitted the name to the USPTO only in April 2005. I thought things got sealed mostly over there. If that were not enough, they did not establish rights to the 3-letter combination for 4 long months (March - June 2001).

It's amazing how even organised businesses, that too software houses don't exercise diligence with regard to TM and Domain Name Registrations.

The complainant didn't have a case but it tried grabbing the domain anyway...
