BuyDomains Auction at GoDaddy Ends Today

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):

  • Afficionado.com
  • Galas.com
  • HikingGuide.com
  • Invigorating.com
  • Perfectionist.com

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.

NameJet is hosting another notable domain auction on behalf of a domain investment company. Andrew Rosner’s Media Options, best known for its domain brokerage services, has listed quite a few valuable domain names up for auction at NameJet. The auctions will begin closing between two weeks and a little over a month from now.

I saw the banner on NameJet’s website, and I asked Andrew if he could share some details about the auction. According to him, about 30% of the inventory is listed at no reserve, and “all are priced VERY aggressively,  many at below what we paid” in order to induce competitive bidding.

I looked through the list of names that are currently loaded on NameJet, and it appears that some of the better inventory has

GoDaddy Hosting BuyDomains Auction

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

HA.com LogoAfter selling over $1.5 million worth of domain names in its inaugural domain auction held at the end of 2013, Heritage Auctions has opened up bidding for its second domain auction. HA sought domain name submissions for this domain auction in December and January.

There are just over 100 domain names listed for sale in this auction. According to Aron Meystedt, the Founder and Director of the Intellectual Property Division  of Heritage Auctions, the list of domain names was chosen with a specific goal in mind. Aron commented, “the ultimate goal is to build this division to where our client base of over 850,000 affluent buyers is excited about domain names.” As a result,  many of the domain name categories are related to departments on the HA.com website, including coins, currency, art, wine, comics, metals, and other categories with affluent buyers who bid on HA auctions.

Two of the more interesting auction lots are DEC.com and Digital.com. DEC.com was one of the first registered domain names. Both of these assets are now owned by Hewlett Packard, but they had been owned by Digital Equipment Corporation, which was acquired by Compaq, which then merged with HP in 2002.

The live auction will take place on
