Zorbing.com Sold For $20,000 On Sedo. What Is Zorbing?
Posted on December 5th, 2009 by admin in Buying & Selling, Domain News | 5 Comments »
Sedo has reported Zorbing.com in it’s recent sales section today with a value of $20,000, making it quite a sale.
Seeing the name and having never heard of the term before, I got curious and Googled the term “Zorbing”.
According to Wikipedia, Zorbing is defined as follows:
Zorbing (globe-riding, sphereing) is the recreation of rolling downhill in a sphere, generally made of transparent plastic. Zorbing is generally performed on a gentle slope, but can also be done on a level surface, permitting more rider control.
Interestingly, Zorb.com belongs to a New Zealand company which began life over 14 years ago. And ZORB (the name of the company) are the inventors of the original, and only official, ZORB globe.
