In a press release today, travel411 says they acquired the domain Answers.Travel for a staggering, $3.3 Million dollars, in an all cash transaction, which closed in the third quarter of 2008.

According to the release:

“”"”"Answers.travel claims to have a network of over 20,000 travel help desks, concierge services, tour guides, and travel information desks in every major and smaller travel destination across the world. They seriously get all of your travel questions answered and point you in the right direction. If they don’t have the question on file, they route it to the appropriate specialist in the destination city/country and have the answer emailed directly to the user within 1 to 3 business days. This site is a dream for all travelers. Questions as simple as “Can I travel to Mexico from Canada with a Felony on my record” to “At what times can I see blue dolphins in the island of San Marquez”, anything at all travel related is answered by www.Answers.travel”"”"

Got to tell you I’m highly suspect of this transaction.

There are some really good .travel domains going up for auction at DomainFest in a few weeks, including free.travel; Europe.travel; City.travel, Information.travel and Fly.travel and those are just the live domains.

Each has a minimal reserve.

I wonder about the timing of the press release. If the transaction closed sometime, in the third quarter ending September 30, 2008, why announce it over three months later?

I know there was some software involved in the sale as it was a site, not just a domain that sold, but the site as it sits today has just minor traffic (alexa ranking of over 4.7M).

If in fact this is a valid sale then god bless all those involved and what a boost for the extension. It will make the DomainFest auction pretty exciting.

But until someone can get confirmation, let’s just say I’m hesitant to put it on top of the domain sales list for the year.@Domainer
