YNOT – David Santa, publisher of now-defunct Adult Stars Magazine, is auctioning a group of URLs owned by the company. The Adult Stars Magazine trademark will be transferred to the winner along with the domains, Santa said.“After 14 years in the adult business it’s time for ASM to move in another direction,” Santa revealed. “We have decided to auction off our catalogue of URLs on eBay.”
The auction began Jan. 17 and is expected to run through 2 p.m. PST on Jan. 27. At posting time, the high bid was $520 for a collection of 10 URLS including AdultStarsMagazine.com, AdultStarsMagazine.mobi, AdultStarsMagazines.com, AdultStarsManagement.com, AdultStarsManagement.net, AdultStarsGallery.com, ASMTalent.com, gASMgallery.com, gASMmagazine.com and gASMmagazines.com.
Founded in 1996, Miami-based Adult Stars Magazine produced movies such as I Dream of Teeny, launched the online Porno News Network (no longer part of the ASM operation) and hosted the Adult Consumer Choice awards. The magazine branched out into talent management as Adult Stars Management which represented several adult entertainers including former ASM Vice President Jill Kelly.
“We hope our URLs find a good home and bring as much success to the new owner as they have for us after so many years,” Santa said.
