The premium domain Mine.com has been sold for well over half a million dollars after a longer than expected auction completed at DropCatch. The Mine.com auction required all bidders above the $500,000 dollar threshold to be pre-qualified.
The final, winning bid for Mine.com: $680,000 dollars, placed by DropCatch user “17excom“. That domain bidding account serves Chinese interests.
Mine.com is a former domain asset of MINE, a company founded by German inventor, Rolf Herken, who is also the founder of ViewMagic, a Bay area start-up.
Some domain investors have questioned the untimely fate of Mine.com as a domain transferred out of German registrar Cronon to Spaceship in March of 2024. Mine.com retained its DNS set up, using other corporate domains under Mine management, until it expired.
There is no information so far about the next move—if any—by the former registrant.
Domains that followed an unintended expiration/drop path have been reclaimed in the past via the courts and the UDRP process.
