A UDRP was filed against the 4 letter RFPG.com domain name at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). According to NameBio, RFPG.com was sold via GoDaddy for $585 on July 23rd of this year – less than one month ago. I believe this domain name was sold in an expiry auction at GoDaddy Auctions.
I saw a .ai auction on Namecheap Market, but by the time I saw it, the bidding had already climbed beyond what I was willing to spend to buy it. The auction for Team.ai closed yesterday with a high bid of $136,500. This auction was noted today on X by NameBio.
There were nearly 100 bids from 14 bidders in this auction. When hovering over the winning bidder’s username, it said the user joined in March of 2025 but has not won an auction yet. The runner up was a Gold level bidder who has won 4 auctions worth more than $15k. Three bidders placed six figure bids in the auction. I am unsure if the auction transacted yet.
I was recently going back and forth in a competitive domain name auction. My initial research that morning had given me an amount I felt the domain name was worth. This intel helped me bracket an amount I was comfortable spending.
I received a couple of outbid emails, and the high bid was close to the maximum amount I felt comfortable spending. Instead of bidding once more, I did some cursory research to see what companies existed in that brand space. I opened several websites that appeared to be different companies operating on a similar brand name. One thing stuck out to me – all had the same unique favicon. I stopped bidding and lost the auction.
I recently won a one word .io domain name auction at Park.io. I spent a few hundred dollars to purchase the domain name, which I think was a pretty reasonable deal. I then listed it on Afternic for just shy of $15,000, which would be a solid ROI should it sell.
In addition to the Afternic listing, I submitted it to Atom because I think it’s the type of domain name that could stand out. Upon submission as a Premium domain name, Atom said it is “Eligible for Instant Approval.” It gave me a recommended price of $69,495 with a price range of $17,399 – $208,499.
Yesterday, I wrote about the OpenPay.com auction hitting the $500,000 mark in auction at DropCatch.com. This afternoon, I received an email from DropCatch announcing that the auction would be restarted.
Here’s what I was sent:
OpenPay.com expired at the end of January. It appears to have been owned by a company called DXC Technology. Because the domain name was registered at MarkMonitor, which I don’t believe has an expiry auction partnership, the domain name ended up getting deleted. The drop catching auction platforms competed to grab the domain name, and it was caught by DropCatch.com.
