LTD.com Sells for $184,000 on NameJet

LTD.com sold at NameJet today for $184,000. Bidding on the auction extended  well beyond the original ending time due to the volume of bids that were placed as it was concluding. The auction was jointly promoted by NameJet and SnapNames.

There were 327 bids made on this auction, and there were 261 bidders who participated in the auction. There were 6 bidders who bid above $100,000 for the domain name.

Since the auction concluded this afternoon, the domain name sale should not be considered final. NameJet will likely report the sale to DNJournal, NameBio, and other outlets once the deal closes.

If the deal were to close today, it would rank as the

Results From Sedo’s Numeric .Club Auction

Sedo ran a numeric auction in conjunction with the .Club registry, and the auction concluded today. Sedo shared the results of the auction, which netted $44,727 in total sales. I have published the results of the no reserve auction below.

From what I understand, all of the domain names that were put up for auction were sold. Obviously since the auction ended this afternoon, all of these auctions should be considered “pending sales,” until they are paid and transferred. I would imagine the sales will all be reported to NameBio once they close.

The top three sales were triple repeating numbers – 555.Club, 111.Club, and 666.Club. The next few sales had the number 8 in them. 16 auctions had bids greater than $1,000. The lowest value sale was 544.Club, which sold for $169.

In total, 37 NNN.Club domain names were sold today.

Here is the full list of domain name sales from today’s .Club numeric auction:

Sedo Updates Search Functionality & Will Host a .Club Numeric Auction

Sedo just announced that it updated its search criteria to allow users to search for numeric domain names on its platform. This should make it easier for domain name buyers to find numeric domain names for sale at Sedo. The new search feature can be found in the advanced search filter options in Sedo’s search engine.

Yesterday, I reported .Club founder Colin Campbell’s tweet announcing that “[a]s of today, all 4 number names are now registered with a few still premium”. In addition to the search functionality update, Sedo also announced that it will be holding a numeric domain name auction for .Club domain names from November 12- 19. I am not sure if the domain names being auctioned are owned by the registry, and I do not have details about whether auction submissions are being accepted. Be in touch with Sedo if you have any questions.

The link to the numeric auction is here.

Here is the news release I received with more information:

What is XXWW.com Worth?

Aside from owning SSSN.com and PRRR.com, I no longer own many domain names that seem to be in great demand to Chinese domain name buyers. I suppose I don’t fully understand the rationale for these purchases and am concerned that if I jump into that market right now I will end up losing money.

I read Shane Cultra’s list of domain names coming up for auction, and he highlighted one that was intriguing to me. In this morning’s post, Shane said, “XXWW.com OK this is the best name on the board. Maybe not in the future but right now.” I clicked through, and I see XXWW.com is up for auction on Sedo right now. The current high bid is $10,000 and the reserve has been met.

To be totally honest, I

NameJet and Right of the Dot Team up for NamesCon Auction

According to a press release that was published today, NameJet and Right of the Dot are teaming up to run a live auction that will be held during the NamesCon conference in January. The auction will be held on January 11, 2016 at 2:00 PM Pacific (5pm Eastern) at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas. For domain names that do not sell during the live auction, there will be an online auction for 10 days following the event.

There have been quite a few domain names entered into the auction already, and more will be added over the next few weeks. At the time of publication, some of my favorite domain names (not considering the reserve prices) include:

  • Genetics.com
  • Homecoming.com
  • Landlords.com
  • Lawn.com
  • Consignment.com

The press release mentions that auction submissions will be considered until November 20, 2015. Submissions may be made via the Right of the Dot website. As domain names are accepted into the auction, they will be added to the NamesCon auction page on NameJet.

I have published the press release below:

SnapNames & NameJet Team Up for LTD.com Auction

LTD.com NameJet Auction

SnapNames and NameJet are essentially sister companies as well as competing domain name auction platforms. SnapNames is wholly owned by publicly traded Web.com, and NameJet is co-owned by Web.com and publicly traded Rightside. Both companies provide an auction venue for domain names.

I received a press release this afternoon announcing that the two companies are working together to sell LTD.com. The domain name is going to be auctioned on NameJet, and the reserve price is between $25,001 and $50,000. The domain name went on the platform today, and the final day for bidding on LTD.com will be Wednesday, December 2. At the time of publication, there are 34 bidders.

If you visit SnapNames and NameJet, you can see there is an advertising banner on both websites announcing the auction.

Because the domain name is currently registered under Whois privacy, I am not sure who owns this domain name.
