2869-com-domain

It looks like the valuable 2869.com domain name expired and was deleted. Depending on which drop catching service catches this domain name, it will likely go to auction sometime this afternoon.

I had a look at the pre-orders at NameJet, and there are currently 66 bids with a high bid of $6,700. Because it is a pending delete auction NameJet and Snapnames will team up and bidding can be done on either platform. DropCatch.com, Pheenix, and other drop catch auction services will also be vying for this domain name when it becomes available to snag. People interested in bidding on the domain name should backorder it at their favorite back order auction platform within the next couple of hours or so (at the time of publication).

The domain name appears to have been owned by

namescon-2017-auctionNameJet will once again play host to the live domain name auction that will be held during the 2017 NamesCon conference in Las Vegas. The domain auction is being organized by Monte Cahn’s consulting firm, Right of the Dot. The live auction will be held at the Tropicana hotel on January 23rd from 3PM – 6PM Pacific time. A press release  sharing information about the auction was published this morning.

Here’s an excerpt from the press release with some details about the auction that you might find interesting:

“The auctions will feature some of the best .com and new gTLD names available anywhere including a super premium bundled lot featuring BAR.COM, BAR.NET, CAFES.COM, GRILL.COM, PLACE.COM, PUB.COM SHELTER.COM, and other individual premium and super premium names such as LEADS.COM, SPORTSCARS.COM, PATTY.COM, STOP.COM, WINECLUB.COM, GOLD.CLUB, SINGLE.COM, E.HOSTING, MORTGAGE.BROKER, PPL.NET, and others. There will be an estimated 400 names in the overall auction with an estimated 125 domains being offered at the live auction on January 23rd. Many premium domains will be priced at no and low reserves to promote competitive bidding and true market prices.”

NameJet added a link to the auction in its menu, and you can have a look at the domain names that will be included in the auction. You can also start bidding or backordering domain names in the auction if you would like. I already noticed several domain names in my auction list that I had not removed from my backorder list.

If you have high value names for sale, it may not be too late to get them submitted, as detailed in the press release:

BobCostas.com Domain Name Expires

It looks like BobCostas.com has expired, and if the domain name is not renewed within the designated redemption period, the domain name will be sold to the high bidder. The domain name is currently registered at GoDaddy, and the domain name is set to be auctioned via GoDaddy Auctions as a result of it not being renewed upon expiration.

As you probably know, Bob Costas is a well known American sportscaster who announces baseball games, the Olympics,  and is involved in a myriad of other sports announcing and presenting work. Because Costas is so well-known, I think it would be difficult for someone use the domain name without legal risk (I am not a legal expert though!).

I checked a few entries on Archive.org, and it does not appear that BobCostas.com was ever developed into a website. Based on a historical Whois search at DomainTools, it looks like

nafI noticed a UDRP was filed against the 4 letter AATI.com domain name at the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) within the past couple of days. The case is #1701430. It caught my attention because it is a valuable 4 letter .com domain name, and nothing really stood out for me when I thought of the “AATI” initials.

Mike Berkens shared an interesting tweet about the domain name:

According to NameBio, AATI.com did indeed sell on NameJet for $2,510 on October 11th. I did not have this domain name backordered, so I can’t tell you how many

October 2016 Great Domains Auction Results

Sedo’s Great Domains monthly auction concluded today, and the auction grossed over $150k in sales. HNW.com, Sleek.com, and Luxus.de were the three largest domain name sales during this month’s auction.

Some of the higher value domain names that did not sell at auction include Fountain.com, HBS.com, and HAA.com. Prospective buyers who may have in interest in discussing the unsold inventory should contact Sedo.

Since the auction closed today, it is unlikely that any of the purchases have been completed yet. Sedo typically reports its sales publicly to DNJournal and NameBio when they close, so keep that in mind when viewing the sales report.

Here are the domain names that sold along with their sale prices:

How I Manage Domain Names After Auctions

domain-auctionsI do my best to keep my business manageable. One area that can throw this off is post-auction domain name management. Because I regularly bid on NameJet, GoDaddy Auctions, SnapNames, and DropCatch.com, I can win domain names at several registrars. I want to share how I manage my domain names after auction to ensure the domain names are kept safe and not overlooked by me.

I most regularly bid on NameJet, and the domain names usually end up at eNom or Network Solutions. For the names at eNom, I generally keep them there as eNom is one of my the primary registrars I use. They also lock domain names for a little over a month. When it comes to Network Solutions, I usually keep those names there until renewal time, and then I transfer them out to consolidate them.

If I win domain names at other registrars, I typically transfer them to eNom, Uniregistry, or GoDaddy depending on my plans for the domain name. If my plan is to sell to an end user right away, I will sometimes transfer domain names to GoDaddy, as I have found that is where many end user buyers want to transfer their names. Even if GoDaddy isn’t their preference, they may feel comfortable to accept a push because GoDaddy is so well known. For other domain names I don’t plan to sell right away, I generally
