The bidding in the NameJet auction for XR.com just surpassed $500,000, although the reserve price has not yet been met. The high bid currently stands at $501,000. Because the XR.com auction is a public auction, all of the auction participant information is publicly available for anyone to see (even for people who don’t have NameJet accounts).
At the time of publication, there are 701 bid from 259 bidders. There are 8 bidders whose bids were for at least $380,000. The auction will conclude on Wednesday afternoon. As a public auction, bidders who did not backorder the domain name are still eligible to bid. Because of the current high bid, bidders who wish to participate must be verified by NameJet in advance. I am not sure how long that process takes, so prospective bidders should ensure this verification takes place prior to bidding.
In early July, SX.com sold on NameJet for just over $550,000. There haven’t been many
