Sedo.com has brokered the sale for the domain name SPB.com for $65,000 USD. The domain name was purchased by SPB Software Inc. of Hackensack, NJ.
SPB Software is a leading brand in mobile software according to its site and now owns what would be considered the leading domain name for it’s company as well. SPB confirmed their new purchase (minus the price) with a tweet to their Twitter.com account as well.
Congrats to both the buyer and seller of SPB.com . It appears another company using the same acronym had owned the domain name before, so this was likely not an easy purchase by SPB Software. According to whois history records, the past owner was SPB Online Services, LTD.
3 letter domain name sales are interesting to me (each domain name sale is interesting really) but mainly acronym sales are always interesting. There is such a wide range of sales prices but I think one thing is clear with most 3 letter domain name sales…. The end user purchases are normally always very clear compared to domain investors trading them. Recently, many 3 letter .com domain names have traded as low as $3,900 range for lower quality combo’s but many quality 3 letter combo’s will trade between investors from high four figure range to lower five figure ranges.
SPB has wasted no time in switching from SPBSoftware.com (the old domain) to SPB.com and has SPB.com fully functional on it’s website with old links mapped out to the new domain.

I read on a forum that SPB Software tried to obtain this domain via National Arbitration Forum.

Thank you for pointing that out and clearly they lost! Since they tried to get it for nearly nothing… I’m sure that ending up costing them more in the end by pissing off the seller and forcing them to defend them self!
