Moniker, an Oversee.net company, have announced that they have successfully brokered the sale of Border.com for $4.5 million ($4 million plus 170 website portfolio worth $500,000).

The new owners of Bored.com are JW Media , the company that owns BuyShoes.com and Campout.com.

A spokesman for JW Media said,

“We’ve been waiting a long time for anInternet property to challenge our creativity. Although there is a great deal of competition out there with gaming, video, and entertainment sites, it is our belief that Bored.com and Bored.tv will be a household name by 2009.”

Bored.com is an established website with a steady traffic growth in recent times, so this is more then a sound investment.

“Bored.com is a premier generic domain that has been developed into a site that will attract both search and direct navigation visitors,” said Monte Cahn, co-founder and CEO of Moniker.com. “With thousands of sites linking into Bored.com it has mass appeal to advertisers looking to reach an audience who is seeking entertainment online.”
