The BuyDomains end of year auction being held at Snapnames is closing on Thursday afternoon at around 3pm Eastern, and there are 108 domain names listed for sale. All of the listed domain names are owned by BuyDomains / NameMedia. I have inquired about several of the listed domain names in the past, and off the top of my head, it appears there have been price concessions made.

Listed below are the domain names that currently have bids as of publication. I bolded the names that have met the reserve price.

I just read a press release from Heritage Auctions with an update from last month’s inaugural domain name auction. The company announced that MutualFunds.com, QR.com and Dayton.com have all been sold. Deals for these three domain names were completed after the conclusion of the live auction. The total revenue generated by the HA domain auction stands at over $1.5 million, not including the 15% buyer’s fee.

The live auction generated an unaudited sales total of $419,970, with 26 out of the 68 domains sold during the event. The leading sales were on Animation.com, XZ.com, and Hemisphere.com.

It’s been quite some time since the last live domain auction hit the million dollar market. The inaugural Heritage Auctions domain auction is tonight, and there are already two six figure auctions that have hit their reserve prices and will sell whether incremental bids are placed. There are 62 domain name lots up for auction.

Including the buyer’s premium, Animation.com currently stands at $109,250 and XZ.com has a high bid of $138,000. In order to hit 7 figures, either MutualFunds.com will have to sell or a few of the other six figure names will need to meet reserve.

Regardless of the outcome, I think

If you’re going to be in New York City on the evening of Thursday, November 21 and you want to see the first live domain auction put on by Heritage Auctions, you are invited to attend the live auction in person. Heritage Auctions is located in midtown Manhattan at 455 Park Avenue.

As with other live auctions, you can bid on the auction floor if you are in attendance. Registration is available in person the day of the event. The auction will feature  live bidding, phone bidding and live Internet bidding, which I suspect will be the most popular form of bidding.

Why HA Domain Auction is Important

HA.com LogoI’ve been giving the Heritage Auctions domain auction more coverage than I’ve given other recent auctions, and there is a reason for it. My feeling is that if the HA auction is successful and sells 7 figures worth of inventory, we could see another major sales channel emerge.

Heritage Auctions is one of the largest auction houses in the world. It has become large because of its extensive reach around the world. Among the company’s clients are collectors and investors from all walks of life. Many of these people probably haven’t participated in a domain auction and may not even know what a domain name is. A surprisingly good result will probably get some attention from these people.

In addition to the exposure that a successful auction will give domain names to HA clients, I imagine that

I received an email a few minutes ago from Aron Meystedt of Heritage Auctions, and he shared the reserve prices for the upcoming HA.com domain name auction. The live domain name auction will take place on November 21, and pre-bidding is now open.

Listed below are the reserve prices for the domain auction. These reserve prices will be posted to the auction lots later on tonight. I’ve bolded the names I think have very reasonable reserve prices considering the quality of the domain names. I do not have any domain names in this auction, and I have not been compensated by anyone with respect to this auction.
