It is believed two brothers in Australia have been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the groupon.co.au domain.

Gabby and Hezi Leibovich registered the domain and its trade mark before US-based Groupon which offers customers discounted deals at a range of businesses. Groupon has been forced to launch in Australia as Stardeals.

The brothers' daily deal sites, CatchOfTheDay and Scoopon, were recently sold for around $80 million to a consortium led by billionaire James Packer.
