Domain Auctions

Easy to Save Searches on NameJet

I am finding myself adding more saved searches on NameJet than ever before. I don’t know if it’s because the new website layout makes it easier to use this feature or if the search functionality has made it more useful, but I’ve set up a number of daily search result emails to help find domain names.

Here’s how to set up a daily search email:

1) Visit NameJet, click on My Account, and log in

2) Scroll to the bottom of the left column and click on Saved Searches

3) Click on Create a New Saved Search and enter your information

There are a number of keywords I search for, primarily with my keyword at the end + .com. You may also want to add variations, like s for plural or ing. I like to make sure I only receive the name once, so it sends me new domains only.

If there was one thing I could change, it would be to create a way to have all of these searches sent to me in one daily email. I get enough emails over night, and additional saved searched generates more emails. If you have 10, 20, 50+ saved searches, that’s a lot of emails to go through when one would suffice. I would probably add more keyword searches if I could have them all sent in one email instead of multiple emails.

If you haven’t tried the save search functionality on NameJet, I recommend trying it out.

Picks from the Great Domains Auction

Sedo is running a Great Domains auction beginning today, and I want to share some of my top picks for the auction. The auction ends on December 8, and many of the domain names have reserves.

Listed below are my favorites from the auction along with the reserve price range. Feel free to leave a comment with your favorite(s) from the auction.

  • Modeling.com  ($100,000 – 249,999 USD) – Can be used by a fashion model agency or by a statistical / database modeling company.
  • Stunner.com   ($1 – 499 USD) – Great brand name for under $500.
  • TCP.com ($5,000 – 9,999 USD) – Three good letters and LLL .com names are almost always liquid.
  • Orangutans.com  ($500 – 999 USD) – An animal name for under $1k is usually a good deal. Start a sports team 🙂
  • Accommodates.com ($1 – 499 USD) – May not be the exact match term, but for under $500 it’s solid.
  • Making.com ($5,000 – 9,999 USD) – Great action domain name

FYI, the link is NOT an affiliate link – it’s a tracking code I am not being paid for this post nor was I asked to post it I also don’t have any names in the auction nor did I do a Whois search to see who owns what.

Moniker Auction Ends This Afternoon

Moniker’s end of year auction, currently running on Snapnames, is ending this afternoon at 3:15pm EST. I highlighted my favorite domain names from this auction a couple of weeks ago, so no need to re-hash those selections.

Listed below are the domain names that currently have bids, although some of the reserve prices have not been met. Most notably, CE.com has a $1,000,000 bid, although the reserve price is apparently higher than $1 million and the auction page states that the reserve has not been met.

If you have an interest in any of the domain names, now is the time to head over to Snapnames to place your bids (or at least set a reminder for later this afternoon).

Domain Name Reserve Price Current High Bid
paternitytest.com $5,001 – $10,000  $21,500
fyny.com No Reserve  $375
omib.com No Reserve  $351
qx.com $50,001 – $100,000  $82,500
apw.com $10,001 – $25,000  $12,999
mentality.com $5,001 – $10,000 $6,751

f.biz $10,001 – $25,000  $10,001

yogurtshops.com No Reserve  $300

.CO Auction at Pool Ends at Noon (EST)

The .CO domain auction currently taking place at Pool will be ending in about an hour and a half, at noon EST. Since the domain names have no reserve price, I believe almost all (if not all) have bids on them right now.

Six auctions currently have bids over $1,000, and InjuryLawyers.CO currently has a high bid of over $10,000. Keep in mind, you must have an account at Pool to bid (with a credit card on file).

At the moment, the ten domain names with the highest bid prices are:

  • injurylawyers.co $10,100
  • omg.co $2,500
  • hub.co $1,350
  • seoul.co $1,300
  • legacy.co $1,050
  • accidentlawyers.co $1,025
  • standard.co $875
  • getaway.co $830
  • insight.co $825
  • lawn.co $824
