Sedo’s  Great Domains September auction closed last week, and I have posted the results blow. The six figure sale of Fahrrad.com was the highest value sale. According to Wikipedia, fahrrad means “bicycle” in German.

In total, the auction did close to a quarter of a million USD. (P) below indicates a website/content was included with the domain name.

September Great Domains auction results:

fahrrad.com (P) 90000 EUR
doctor.co.uk 24999 £
brasile.it 15601 EUR

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?

GayPride.com on Auction at NameJet: Guess The Sale Price

GayPride.com is now on auction at NameJet, and the current high bid is $20,099 with several hours remaining. There are 221 bidders in the auction and 236 bids have been placed. The reserve price has not been met, indicating that this is a privately owned domain name rather than an expiring domain auction.

Because this is a private auction on NameJet, additional bidders can not join the auction, nor can it be followed unless you placed a bid on the domain name already.

Interestingly, GayPride.com sold for $60,000 at Moniker’s Internext domain auction in the beginning of 2007, as reported by DNJournal. I am not sure if the domain name has changed hands since the auction. Valuate.com says the domain name is worth $62,000.

What do you think the final price will be?


August Great Domains Results

Sedo’s Great Domains monthly auction ended yesterday, and I have posted the results below. I think the $9,999 price for Inspirational.com was pretty good, but the total value of under $50k is pretty poor.

Keep in mind the sales below are most likely not paid yet. If you saw something you liked at auction but it didn’t sell, now would be the time to contact Sedo to negotiate a better deal.

Great Domains August 2012 Results:

inspirational.com 9999 USD

Five Ways to Find Good Domain Names on NameJet

I am an active bidder on NameJet, and I purchase a considerable amount of names for my company’s inventory. I’ve bid a total of $389,000+ on NameJet auctions since I registered in 2008. Recent NameJet purchases include ChineseProverbs.com, PennsylvaniaRealEstate.com (with a partner), ConsultantBlog.com, Buddhists.com, RhinoplastyDoctors.com, SpeedingViolation.com, and many more.

I have had very good luck re-selling NameJet acquisitions, primarily because there isn’t much end user competition when bidding, and I can then re-sell these domain names at a premium price.

If you don’t use a tool like FreshDrop to scan lists of names coming up for sale at NameJet, and if you don’t have hours to spend each day looking through unorganized lists of dropping domain names, I want to share five ways to find great domain names that can be backordered.

These five tips to find good domain names may be fairly obvious, but they are helpful and I use these methods daily.

Sedo’s Great Domains auction ended last week, and I have posted the auction results below. The results totaled just over $25,000, but the summer auctions tend to perform poorly.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn about a sale or two closed in private. I think TJ.com will eventually find a buyer, and I imagine Sedo’s closers are working on making that happen.

Here are the results:

buq.com 5200 $US
washed.com 3600 $US
bicycle.ch 3000 EUR
excites.com 2988 $US
