Afternic is currently holding its annual Spring auction on the Snapnames platform. At the time of this article, 20 of the auctions have bids, and there are just over three days remaining in the auction (ends Friday, March 22). There are 137 domain names up for auction, and many have reasonable reserve prices.
My top five domain name picks for the Afternic auction include:
If you are interested in having your domain name(s) listed for sale at the TRAFFIC conference auction in Las Vegas, right now is the time to submit them. Submissions are being accepted for a week (or less). The conference will be held from May 29 – June 1 at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino.
Conference organizers have done away with the paid submissions in an effort to have more control over quality, and they are targeting 85%+ of the auction to be no reserve to keep things interesting and for a higher sales rate. It also appears that they are targeting one word domain names.
Here are ten aspects about the submission requirements shared by Rick Schwartz this morning:
eDoctor.com sold on NameJet this afternoon for $43,310. The domain name was a “pending delete” auction, which means the domain name creation date is February 16, 2013 rather than its original creation date, as is the case with pre-release auction domain names.
The domain name has a bit of an interesting history. According to the Whois History tool, eDoctor.com appears to have been previously registered by global healthcare giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). eDoctor.com was originally created back in 1995, and at least at one point, it was registered at Melbourne IT.
I could not find a screenshot of a website on Screenshots.com, so it does not appear that the eDoctor.com domain name was used in the last several years.
I don’t know why this domain name wasn’t renewed, but it turned into a large sale for NameJet.
I recently noticed that Tucows has listed a number of high quality descriptive domain names for sale on NameJet. Some of these domain names have reserve prices and others are no reserve. To participate in the auctions, you’ll need to back order them any time from now until the deadline (varies depending on the name).
Some of my favorite Tucows-owned domain names that are coming up for sale include:
I am looking forward to participating in some of these auctions and think they’ll probably generate well into the 6 figures for Tucows.
The Webfest Global live auction is tomorrow, and I want to share my top five picks. There are some pretty solid names at fair reserves, and I think it will do pretty well. Bali.com is my favorite name in the auction, and the price seems reasonable for a top tourist destination.
You can bid on the auction via your SnapNames account, or you can bid in person. The auction runs Wednesday, February 6, from 4:00 – 5:30 Pacific (7:00 – 8:30 Eastern). If you aren’t available to bid on the auction, you can pre-bid right up until the start of the auction.
