The Great Domains auction for October ended yesterday afternoon, and the sales results are listed below. Many of the buyers have not paid yet, so these are reported sales rather than final sales. Once buyers pay, Sedo will report the sales below in its weekly sales report.

Although well over 100 auctions received bids, 41 actually hit the reserve price and sold. The auction netted over $150k in domain sales.

Sedo’s October Great Domains auction is ending very soon, and a large percentage of domain names currently have bids. Out of the 244 auction lots, a total of 126 already have bids, although many have not yet met the reserve price.

The auctions begin closing within the hour (noon Eastern), so if you’re interested in seeing what’s for sale, or if you want to place any bids, you should head over to the auction ASAP.

Listed below are the domain names with the highest current bids:

  • Pathology.com – $25,500 bid ($10,000 – $24,999 reserve)
  • Pug.com – $25,000 bid ($25,000 – $49,999 reserve)
  • PrescriptionSunglasses.com – $1,000 – $4,999 reserve)
  • Possum.com – $14,944 bid ($1,000 – $4,999 reserve)
  • Valuable.com – $12,000 bid ($50,000 – $99,999 reserve)

There seems to be a huge mix of domain names in the auction, including ccTLDs from several countries.

What Are Single Letter .ORG Domain Names Worth?

Yesterday morning, Go Daddy and the Public Interest Registry announced that one and two letter .ORG domain names would be coming up for auction. Of the 42 auctions, 15 are single letter domain names. The auction dates haven’t been set yet, but each auction will take place over 10 days, and bidders must be pre-approved.

In the press release announcing the news, it was said that “it is expected the historic auction of these single- and two-character .ORG domain names will not only generate high bids, but also help define the aftermarket prior to the introduction of new gTLDs.”

I am curious about what you think single letter .org domain names are worth.


Go Daddy to Auction 1 & 2 Letter .Org Domain Names

Go Daddy and the Public Interest Registry (PIR), the non-profit organization that operates the .org domain registry, have jointly announced a special auction of one and two letter / character .org domain names. This is the first time that single character .org domain names are available for sale.

In total, 42 domain names will be auctioned on a special page at Go Daddy Auctions (see list below). In order to participate in the auctions, interested companies and individuals must be pre-approved. According to the press release, “there will be some requirements for the winners of a single- or two-character .ORG domain name, although re-branding is not mandatory.” This is similar to other registries that have auctioned single letter domain names, although I am not sure what the requirements are.

I would imagine the single letter .org domain names are going to see bids into the six figures, although it might be a challenge for a non-profit organization to spend that kind of money on domain names (imagine a cancer organization explaining a $500k domain purchase to donors). PIR is planning to “forward its share of the proceeds to programs that enhance open development and Internet security.”

The auctions will last ten days each, and although the exact date has not been set, the auctions are expected to begin in the coming months.

Afternic Teams Up With SnapNames For Fall Auction

This afternoon, Afternic and SnapNames released the domain names that are included in the fall auction that just started, and there seems to be some solid domain names at very reasonable reserve prices. In fact, I would say this is probably the most reasonable auction of good keyword domain names at fair prices that I’ve seen in the last year or two.

There are also some top tier domain names that are included at somewhat high reserve prices, such as MartialArts.com and Veil.com. Most of the names however, are very solid mid range names that will likely see considerable action.

Here are my top ten names from the auction, with reserve prices taken into consideration:

  • AllStarTeam.com  -$1,001 – $2,500
  • BostonBlog.com – $501 – $1,000
  • CastingAgents.com – $1,001 – $2,500
  • FederalTaxRefunds.com –  $1,001 – $2,500
  • GrassCare.com $201 – $500
  • MusicProducers.com –  $5,001 – $10,000
  • SchoolYearbook.com –  $2,501 – $5,000
  • SummerFestivals.com –  No Reserve
  • TennisTournaments.com –  $1,001 – $2,500
  • UKCareers.com –  $1,001 – $2,500

The auction ends in a little under two weeks from now. I will likely be a bidder on one or more of these domain names.

What do you think about the auction and its names?
