DNForum, QR.com and bidding drama

Among the domains announced to have sold at Domainfest was QR.com – a two letter dot com of extreme appeal to the industry of QR codes that has infiltrated our lives, all while bar codes are dying a fast technological death.

QR.com was listed as sold at $325,000a seriously awesome price – thus accounting for almost 50% of the total domain sales on auction at Domainfest in Santa Monica.

Following its listing as “sold”, a former owner of the domain from the Netherlands exclaimed his monosyllabic frustration on DNForum, on a thread that led to the sale of QR.com in 2004:

“f%ck!”

The comment was subsequently erased by the moderators and the thread has been closed. However, the plot thickens.

Apparently, QR.com was not sold at the Domainfest auction, as the high bidder believed all along that he was bidding on the domain name 12.com

The two lots were adjacent, with QR.com at lot 300 and 12.com at lot 310. We’ll have to wait until we hear the official results from the Domainfest organizers.
