One of the most valuable domain names to hit the auction block on NameJet is coming up for sale. SX.com is listed as the top NameJet “Hot Pick,” and it currently has a bid of $20,000 with 115 bidders already participating. There is a reserve price on the auction, although the reserve is not known.

I asked NameJet GM Jonathan Tenenbaum about the auction, and he commented, “We are always working to bring high-quality inventory on to our platform and this is a prime example of that. SX.COM is an incredible 2-character domain with a very reasonable reserve, and this represents a great opportunity. We are hoping to bring even more of these kinds of domains to the market in the coming months and we are very excited for our customers.”

SX.com is privately registered, so I am

Poll: At What Price Will VVV.com Sell? (Updated)

VVV.com is up for auction on NameJet, with a backorder deadline of Monday. Andrew Rosener confirmed that his company does in fact own VVV.com and he put it up for sale with an undisclosed reserve price, “well below the 6 figure mark.”

I am curious about what you think the sale price will be when the auction closes next week. As I mentioned in my article yesterday, my guess is that the domain name sells for low 6 figures. If that were to happen, it would likely rank as one of the top sales on NameJet. The current high bid is $20,000 (reserve not yet met), and there are 281 bidders who have placed backorder bids so far.

I posted a poll below for you to guess the sale price range. You’re welcome to share your rationale in the comment section if you would like.

Update: VVV.com sold for $136,400.


VVV.com on NameJet: A Look at All Repeating LLL.com Names

NameJet distributed a press release today announcing the upcoming sale of the triple repeating VVV.com domain name. The press release stated that it “is believed to be the first time in history, a 3 letter repeating .com domain name is being offered in public auction.” VVV.com was recently owned by Andrew Rosener’s Media Options, but the domain name is now under privacy so I do not know if his company still owns it.

Obviously, there are only 26 3 letter repeating .com domain names, and I thought it would be interesting to see how each of these are being used. Here  is what I found for these LLL.com domain names:

Buying.com was sold in a private domain auction at NameJet yesterday for a sale price of $69,200. There were 256  bidders who participated in the auction.  The Whois information lists Domain Capital as the current registrant, but I do not know if the domain name was sold by the company or an owner who financed this domain name using Domain Capital.

I reached out to Jonathan Tenenbaum, General Manager at NameJet, and he confirmed that this  auction was the largest auction of 2015 on NameJet. “We are really happy to have held this auction on NameJet. It is our biggest sale so far this year and it is one of those deals that was very good for both the buyer and the seller,” he told me.

At one point in time, the Buying.com domain name was owned by

The SelfieSticks.com domain name sold in auction this afternoon for $29,100 at NameJet. There were three bidders who bid over $19,000 in this auction, and there were 78 bidders who had backordered this domain name.

Based on the current expiration date, it looks like the SelfieSticks.com domain name was a privately held domain name that was sent to auction  rather than the usual expired domain name auction that is most regularly seen at NameJet.

The domain name has a creation date of

VVVV.com Sells for $22,100 on NameJet

Unique types of domain names tend to sell for significant sums of money. This afternoon, the VVVV.com domain name sold at auction for $22,100 on NameJet. There were a total of 287 bids placed and 210 bidders involved in the auction. This domain name is unique in the sense that there are only 26 repeating four letter .com domain names.

It looks like VVVV.com was an expired domain name auction. Pending payment from the NameJet buyer, the domain name’s registrant is still listed as Pending Renewal or Deletion, and it is registered at Network Solutions. It appears that the domain name had been previously registered to a business based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The VVVV.com domain name was originally registered in 1997, and since it is an expiry auction, the domain name will retain its creation date.

I took a look at the other 25 four letter repeating .com domain names, and it appears that the
