Most people who are active in the domain industry spend a considerable amount of time and money bidding on domain name auctions. After I win a domain auction there are several things I do to ensure that the domain name is set up properly and possibly listed for sale under my accounts.
I want to share a few tips and steps you might want to take after winning a domain auction to make sure everything on your end is in order.
I received the list of reserve prices for the upcoming Heritage Auctions domain name auction, and I shared it with you below. The auction will be online only, and the live portion will take place on April 9, 2014 at 2:30pm Central Time. Bidders may place bids online prior to the auction, and pre-bidding closes the same day at 12:30pm Central Time. Unlike the previous auction, there will not be in-person bidding, so all bids must be placed online.
On a sidenote, Heritage Auctions ran another advertisement for this auction in the New York Times. I think this gives a little bit extra exposure, although I don’t know if the results can be quantified.
If you have any questions about the auction or domain names included in the auction, you are welcome to post them here or you may directly contact Heritage Auctions’ Aron Meystedt.
Name and Reserve Price
The BuyDomains auction at GoDaddy will be ending this afternoon, and there are about 150 domain names included in the auction. After looking through the list of domain names, it seems like there are a bunch of names I previously made offers on, so I will most likely be a participant in the auction.
I thought I would share 5 of my favorite domain names. (I may bid on one or more of these domain names as well as others from the auction):
I believe just about all of the auctions have reserve prices, although the reserve range is not shared publicly. Judging by the pricing on some of the domain names prior to the auction, I would bet they are going to move some inventory with this sale.
The auctions end later on this afternoon.
Sedo’s March Great Domains auction concluded yesterday, and the results are listed below. The largest sale was for the Gab.com domain name, which sold for over $200,000. In total, the auction closed at a little under $250,000 USD. I noticed a couple of other domain names that had decent bids, but they did not meet the auction reserve price.

According to a large banner on the GoDaddy Auctions homepage, GoDaddy will be hosting a private auction featuring domain names owned by BuyDomains. There are 150 domain names up for auction, and the starting price for each auction is $500. It appears that many of these auctions have reserve prices, but it is unclear what the reserve ranges are for individual domain names. A wide variety of domain names are included in the auction.
This marks GoDaddy’s first venture into private “theme” auctions in over a little over a year. As you may recall, GoDaddy ran private auctions on behalf of the .Info and .Org registries in late 2012, early 2013.
In the past, BuyDomains partnered with SnapNames to run auctions with domain names from the company’s portfolio. I am not sure if the GoDaddy acquisition
