I have not reported that many Afternic.com domain name sales lately, so here are a couple that stick out to me that have sold this week.

Afternic reported the sale of Zeal.com for $50,000. Zeal holds the dictionary meaning of "Passionate devotion to or interest in a cause or subject".

One interesting thing about the purchase.. the company that sold it was named Zeal Media Group LLC. It appears that company either folded in or around 2006 or lost interest in the site. Normally we see an exact match company buy the domain, not sell it, but is understandable if the company went out of business. If this was the case, the domain appears to have been a nice asset.

A message from the new domain owner states on the site currently:

I know that many of you Zealots like myself were very saddened by the loss of Zeal in March 2006.

For those of you who don’t know me, I was a former volunteer editor at Zeal before it shut down.

As the new owner of this domain, I hope to rejuvenate Zeal and bring it back to its glory days. I’ve been a software engineer for over 10 years and hopefully, I can use my programming skills to develop a web directory worthy of the name Zeal.
