I’ve had a few offline discussions with friends about the DL.com auction. In my opinion, DL.com is the best domain name to come up for auction in a while and it will fetch a solid price. There are plenty of great names for sale at any given time, but I don’t see many exceptional names at fair reserve prices on auction.
There have been great keyword domain names of course, but I think 2 and 3 letter names are more liquid than just about any other types of domain names, although you might be hard pressed to find a buyer in the mid or 6 figure range on a moment’s notice for this one.
Keeping in mind that I might participate in the DL.com auction, I am wondering what you think final sale price of the domain name will be in the Hilco Streambank auction. The opening bid is $200,000, and the online auction will be held October 14-17. Vote below and see what others think.
It’s interesting to note some of their reserve prices on the other domains they are auctioning, they appear to be aiming on the high end, I wonder the recourse for the domains and assets that don’t sell.
I, personally, will selecting for all possible buyers and sell it privately. I think that domain could get over 500K giving credit if necessary.
I guessed already for US$500,000 +. It should not fail in reaching this figure. A public sale of 2 letter .com should not effect its legacy.
