RHD.com is Largest Great Domains Auction

The August Great Domains auction on Sedo ended yesterday afternoon, and a total of 10 domain names sold. The total value of these auctions was around $40,000 USD, so it was a slow month compared to other Great Domains auctions.

The largest auction of the month was RHD.com, which sold for $35,000. There were other 3 letter .com domain names up for auction that received bids, but none of them met their reserve prices. None of the other domain names that sold hit 4 figures.

Here are the domain names that sold along with their sale prices. Keep in mind that the auction ended yesterday and these domain name deals probably have not been finalized yet. Once they are finalized, they will be reported to DNJournal and NameBio for publication.

OccupyWallStreet.com on Auction at GoDaddy

When I received my morning email from Dropping.com, OccupyWallStreet.com was the domain name coming up for auction that stood out the most. It looks like OccupyWallStreet.com expired in July, and the GoDaddy auction for it is concluding this afternoon.

The Occupy Wall Street movement was one of the leading news stories back in late 2011 and 2012. Although largely out of the public eye these days, it looks like Occupy Wall Street is still in action. You can see more about Occupy Wall Street and its current events on the OccupyWallSt.org website.

According to Archive.org, it looks like OccupyWallStreet.com was

Why I Bought Citronella.com on NameJet

Over the weekend, I was tracking and participating in the NameJet auction for Citronella.com. I ended up winning this domain name for less than $5,000 and I am happy with the purchase. I thought it would be interesting for me to share why I bought Citronella.com.

I live in the suburbs, and the mosquitos can be fairly aggressive here. I mention the suburbs because they seem to bite me much more than when I lived in New York City. Although we don’t have too many mosquito-borne illnesses around here besides infrequent occurrences of West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis, mosquitos are a pest I could live without having them bite me.

In order to protect us from the mosquitos, we have two primary options: bug spray or citronella candles. I hate

Diamond.com in Auction at GoDaddy

Diamond.com is up for auction at GoDaddy.com. The domain name has a minimum bid of $1,000,000, and I am told the reserve price for this auction is higher than the minimum bid.

In 2006, Diamond.com was sold for $7.5 million. It is regularly listed among the top public domain name sales of all time. According to GoDaddy’s Joe Styler, “It has had a successful online business attached to it for many years.” It looks like the business is still operational, so I am not sure why the company decided to sell the asset.

According to an article on TheDomains.com last year, GoDaddy has been brokering the domain name for at least a year now. It appears that this is the first time it has gone into an auction format like this. I was told that if the domain name sells at auction, it would be the largest public sale in the history of GoDaddy Auctions.

One thing is for sure
