Sedo’s June Great Domains Auction Results

Sedo’s June monthly Great Domains auction concluded yesterday, and the results of the auction are listed below. There were quite a few good three letter .com domain names listed for sale in the auction. As you can see, only one of those domain names met the reserve and sold.

YVY.com was the largest sale of the auction, closing at 14,000 EUR (approximately $15,682 USD). There were solid bids on some of the other LLL .com domain names that didn’t hit reserve, so perhaps we will see some of those deals close post-auction. There is an eclectic mix of domain names and extensions in this list of sales.

Because the Great Domains auction concluded yesterday, these sales most likely have not yet closed (paid/transferred). Sedo will report the closed sales in its weekly sales report once the deals are done.

The Great Domains auction for the month of May ended on Sedo today, and the results are published below. The largest sale of the month was the three letter NKB.com domain name, which sold for $31,000 after some active bidding. The second highest sale of the month was Stock.co.uk, which sold for 4,102 EUR.

Quite a few three letter .net domain names sold at auction. The sale prices ranged from $460 – $1,211. It’s interesting to see the 3 letter .com domain name market jump while the .net market doesn’t seem to have much of an increase in interest (based on my limited observations).

This domain auction ended today, so these deals are most likely still pending. Once they are finalized, they will be reported in Sedo’s monthly sales report.

NamePros Giving Free Publicity to Domain Auctions

NamePros announced that it will be helping its members generate publicity for their NamePros domain auctions by promoting them at the top of the website. The promoted auction links will appear on a rotating basis above the large Uniregistry banner. This added promotion is free of charge for NamePros members.

When it comes to auctions, the first obstacle most people face is publicity. There are thousands of domain names that come up for auction each day, and getting the attention of buyers can be costly (both in terms of advertising dollars and business/personal capital). NamePros has a large following (I am told it is over 1 million pageviews a month), and being able to draw attention to an auction without a cost is beneficial to domain owners.

NamePros administrator Eric Lyon shared more about this promotion and how it will benefit NamePros members:

CNNSi.com was launched in 1997 as a collaboration between CNN and Sports Illustrated. At the time of the launch, CNN/Si Executive Producer Danny Greenberg said this of the fledgling website: “[w]ith more than 100,000 pages of content, ranging from real-time scores and statistics to the probing profiles of athletes for which SI is famous, CNNSI.com provides unparalleled access to sports information on the Internet.”

Following the demise of the CNN/Si brand, the CNNSi.com domain name expired, and it went to auction after being caught by DropCatch.com last week. The auction for CNNSi.com ended today, and the winning bid was

According to the CNNSi Wikipedia page, “CNN Sports Illustrated (CNNSI) was a 24-hour sports news channel. It was created by Time Warner, bringing together its CNN and Sports Illustrated brands and related resources.” CNNSi.com was the domain name that was used for the channel’s website.

I was looking at NameJet this morning, and I saw that CNNSi.com was in pending delete status. CNNSi.com currently has a $901 high bid at NameJet with 64 backorders. CNNSi.com is currently registered at CSC Corporate Domains. Prior to the domain name entering its pending delete status, it was registered to Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., parent company of CNN.

The Great Domains monthly auction for April concluded today, and the sales results are below. In total, eight domain names were sold in this auction. Veilingen.nl was the largest sale at 31000 EUR (approximately $33,575 USD). I believe Veilingen means something related to auctions in Dutch.

There were four 3 letter domain names sold in this auction. Two of those sales were .com domain names. Interestingly, only two of the ten total sales were .com domain names. Four of the sales were ccTLD domain names.

The full list of sold domain names was published below. Keep in mind that this auction concluded today, and it is likely that the buyers have not completed their purchases yet. As such, these deals should be considered pending until Sedo officially reports the domain names as sold.
