LI.com Sold for $500,000

Li ComSedo just sold LI.com for $500,000. This is the second 2 letter domain to sell for $500,000 this month.  The other one was AZ.comAZ.com at our auction last week. There are only 676 of these 2 letter domains in the world and most of them are owned by large corporations. I know there is a lot of pressure on ICANN to release a few of the single character domain names. If they did get released, they could fetch a few million each and bring ICANN some extra funds to help administrate the Internet.

I remember back in 2001 when you could buy a two letter domain name for $8,000. Granted the one I was looking had an X in it. But still, the price of 2 letter domain names are going up.
