.CM auction results pile in

It hasn’t been long since Cameroon announced plans to offer its .CM domain to the world at large, but a number of premium names have already sold at auction.

So far the highest sale has been Cars.cm for £21,455 ($35,000 USD). The highest sales have all been generic names. Here are some others:

• jobs.cm- £6,130 ($10,000 USD)
• games.cm- £ 3,065 ($5,000 USD)
• juegos.cm- £3,065 ($5,000 USD)
• loan.cm- £3,065 ($5,000 USD)
• lasvegas.cm- £1,962 ($3,200 USD)
• date.cm- £613 ($1,000 USD)

I was a bit surprised by date.cm. I expected that to sell for a much higher price. Juegos.cm is Spanish for “Games.cm.” Normally foreign-word domains sell for less than their English counterparts, but in this case, both variations sold for 3,065.

Domainers also seem to be keeping away from trademarked domains for the most part, though there are exceptions. ABC.cm is just one trademarked name that has sold. It fetched £736 ($1200 USD).
