DropCatch has been making a killing auctioning off domains it caught after they dropped.
The 800 lbs gorilla of domain dropcatching auctioned off PokerUSA.com today, a domain auction that attracted plenty of bidding activity.
In the end, PokerUSA.com sold for $19,450 dollars with DropCatch member “rushing” winning it. Now that’s a great win for the house!
The selling price of PokerUSA.com ranks it as the #9 biggest sale of a .com domain that begins with “Poker.” Source: NameBio.
PokerUSA.com was registered way back in 1998 and was in the possession of IGT, a multi-national gambling machine manufacturer that was renamed to International Game Technology PLC in 2015.
It’s not clear why the domain was allowed to drop; after all, it was registered with CSC Corporate Domains. Such domain assets often get lost after mergers and acquisitions that eliminate certain mailboxes, or the employees tasked with their updates.
