European-based automation and web design company Baidu have put their domain names, brand names and trademarks up for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $250,000. The company’s hope is to reach the magical sum of $1.7 million in 10 days when the auction has ended.
In 2008, Baidu Europe (baidu.nl/baidu.eu) announced their intention to sell their brand name and domain names due to the rapid growth of Baidu Inc (baidu.com) – the popular Chinese search engine.
