Domain investor, George Kirikos, took a break from the analysis of the Oscars last night to share the big news: LA.com has been sold, apparently.
Noting WHOIS changes pointing in that direction—a change of registrar—Kirikos identified Drew Rosener of Media Options as the domain’s recent broker:
It looks like the elite 2-letter dot-com domain LA(.)com, which was being brokered by @MediaOptions, may have been sold, as the registrar changed (although it’s now under WHOIS privacy at GoDaddy). Maybe @andrewrosener can confirm….
Jumping in the conversation, Drew essentially confirmed the sale:
…and another one, and another one, and another one! #OffTheMarketForever
LA.com, a domain registered in 1994, was listed by Media Options with a $5,000,000 dollar price tag. Knowing the capabilities of the power brokerage we’d be surprised if it sold for less than the asking price!
Congratulations, Drew!
