The Lsland.com domain name is in an expiry auction on GoDaddy Auctions. There are several bidders competing for this typo domain name, and the high bid is $1,010. Peter Askew highlighted this on X earlier this morning:
Lsland.com Typo Auction on GoDaddy into the 4 Figures
Namecheap .AI Filter Removed from ExpiredDomains.net
I use ExpiredDomains.net every day to search for domain names coming up for auction. It’s a free tool that helps me scan Namecheap, Dynadot, and GoDaddy platforms for expiry auctions. It also helps me find domain names in pending delete status that I want to back order at DropCatch and NameJet.
This morning when searching for upcoming expiry auctions at Namecheap, I did not see any .AI domain names listed in my search. This was unusual since there are generally dozens if not more .AI domain names that are listed according to my preferences.
Mine.com in Pending Delete Auction
As I was looking through the upcoming pending delete auctions, I was caught by surprise by an exceptionally valuable domain name. Mine.com went into pending delete status earlier this week. After the domain name made it through the pending delete process, it was caught by DropCatch.com.
Mine.com has been entered into a public auction at DropCatch, and the domain name will be sold to the highest bidder upon its conclusion. Bidding for Mine.com is already at $380k. This will be one of the largest pending delete auction results once the bidding has concluded.
Linea.com Sold for $200,000 (Updated)
The Linea.com domain name was in an expiry auction at NameJet that closed this afternoon. The highest bid was $200,000, and I am pretty certain this auction will successfully close. There were two bidders who bid on this domain name past the $70k mark.
When this auction closes, it will be the tenth largest domain name auction on NameJet, according to NameBio records. It will be slightly higher than the 2021 sale of Operate.com, and just lower than the $201,100 sale of 281.com in 2016. We are early in the year, but this $200,000 sale will tie for the 10th largest publicly reported sale of the year on DNJournal once it closes.
Namecheap Adjusts Auction End Times and Closeout Process
Namecheap notified its Namecheap Market customers of an adjustment to the end times for auctions and a simplified process for its closeouts.
Domain name auctions will all end at the same time each day. The time is 11am Eastern Time and the equivalent times throughout the world. You can do the math to understand when auctions will close in your timezone. Auctions will still be extended by 5 minutes each time a bid is placed in the final five minutes of an auction.
Closeout auctions will also have a small change. If a closeout domain auction ends without any bids, the auction will automatically extend for an additional 24 hours with a minimum bid of $5. .AI domain names – which are marked “Partner” on the auction pages, are not considered closeouts, so this will not be applicable to those domain names.

Saved by the Down Button at NameJet
If you bid on auctions at NameJet, you’re probably familiar with the up and down arrows in the control panel control panel buttons.
These buttons allow you to increase or decrease your bid by the standard bid increments. Bidders can also input their maximum bid amount by hand if they prefer, but sometimes it’s just easier hitting the up arrow to place a bid.
