Cobb.com Goes to Auction.
2007-05-04, HostMan.biz Sedo is to put the domain on sale in an auction which will commencing on May 7. Sedo, yesterday announced that cobb.com, will go up for sale next week in an auction by sedo which will commences 12PM EDT, May 7. The company claims the cobb.com was created by The Cobb Group in 1995 and is thought to be among the first hundred thousand commercial domain names registered. The Cobb Group was started by best-selling technology author, Douglas Cobb. Later acquired by Ziff-Davis when it bought the Cobb Group, cobb.com has been owned since 1999 by another best- selling author. Cobb used the site to publish free articles about security and privacy by himself and wife Chey, but recently transferred this content to cobbassociates.com, home of his consulting business, Cobb Associates. He relocated his personal web site and Cobb genealogy content to stephencobb.net. "With these changes I didn't feel the need to keep cobb.com," said the Computer Security Expert, Stephen Cobb, CISSP., "Given the hot market in domain names today, I decided it was time to sell." Comparable values range from strauss.com at $50,000 and walkers.com at $175,000, to bdsm.com at $295,000 and tandberg.com at $1,500,000. "I'd be pleasantly surprised if bids for cobb.com reach seven figures," said Cobb, "but with auctions you never know." He noted one appraisal put the value "in the high sixes, others the upper fives." And Cobb thinks search engines still put a high value on domain names: "The name itself makes a big difference to who tops search results." |
