Earlier this month, I wrote about the upcoming domain name auctions for DL.com, Row.com, and Tweeter.com that are being managed by Hilco Streambank. Bidder registration for these (and other) auctions is now opened. The online auction will run on the Hilco website from October 14 – 17, 2013.
The reserve prices for these and other domain name auctions have been released by Hilco. The opening bid amounts are as follows:
I recently loaded a large group of domain names for sale on Afternic. In order to set the pricing, I did what I usually do… looked at my purchase prices and thought about what I think would be a fair sale price, and I set the prices based on those two factors. My gut feel might not be the most efficient pricing model, but it’s done me fine so far.
Shortly after the names were priced and approved, I did a couple of searches on Afternic for keywords related to my domain names, and I saw other domain names listed for sale. Some of the prices varied drastically, and it’s going to make me review the prices I set for some of my domain names. I think you should do this competitive research, too.

Sedo’s Dave Evanson is reporting that Intranet.com was sold via Sedo for $160,000. Based on the Whois change, it appears that the transaction took place last week.
At one point, the domain name had been owned by a Massachusetts company called ACI Worldwide. Screenshots.com shows an ACI payment systems logo as of 2010, but more recently, it appears that the domain name had been parked at Sedo.
The current Whois information is
A week ago, Rick Schwartz posted an interesting article regarding Google’s announcement about the launch of Helpouts and its acquisition of the Helpout.com and Helpouts.com domain names. Rick linked to an old DNForum post from 5 years ago where the former owner of Helpouts.com had it listed for $250 and then reduced to $100.
There were no subsequent posts in the Helpouts.com sales thread, so I don’t know if the domain owner ended up selling it. Judging by the domain name’s creation date of March 20, 2010, it appears that the domain name was dropped and re-registered by someone else who had privacy guard in place. Although it changed registrars a couple of times, the domain name registration remained under privacy until July of this year.
Whatever happened in the case of this domain name, I don’t think a domain owner should
I received an offer for one of my domain names a few weeks ago, and although we started out quite far apart, we were able to bridge the gap to within a few thousand dollars after several emails. I was debating whether or not to sell the domain name because I had plans for it, but I decided if the right deal was struck, I would sell it.
After some discussion, I learned that the potential buyer is located in California – Napa Valley to be precise. I have an affinity for Napa Valley reds, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon.
Because we couldn’t come to terms on the dollar amount I wanted to move on the name, but we were fairly close, I decided to pose an offer to the buyer. I told him I would agree to his final offer price if he
One thing I’ve found interesting when sending emails to end user buyers is that they often visit the domain name that is being sold and contact me through the contact form on the landing page. I don’t know if they are doing this to verify the legitimacy of my email or if they simply want to see what’s happening on the landing page.
With that in mind, I am going to try something a bit new as I try to sell StartupConsulting.com.
This afternoon, I am going to begin the process of contacting end user buyers for StartupConsulting.com. I plan to test out the Estibot Lead Generation tool as well as do my own research to find potential buyers for this domain name. As usual, I do not plan to
