I noticed a new banner on the NameJet website advertising “JetPacks.” These JetPacks are small groups of domain names that are up for auction in a single lot. There is a separate page for NameJet customers to see the JetPacks that are available for sale at any given time.

Here’s how NameJet describes their JetPacks on the JetPack section of their website:

“JetPacks are select domain names that are auctioned as a group rather than individually. Placing a bid on a JetPack is placing a bid for the entire set of names. The winning bidder will be awarded the names listed in the JetPack subject to NameJet’s terms and conditions. Bidders may not place bids for individual domain names listed in a JetPack. Winning bidders may not refuse registration of any names contained in an awarded domain name group.”

At the moment, there are only two

I was browsing Twitter this morning when I noticed the tweet embedded below from Mike Mann, announcing the sale of Hueston.com for $25,000. This is a solid sale price, but even more impressive is the ROI achieved from the sale. Mann reportedly acquired the Hueston.com domain name in March of 2011 for $69.

Judging by the $69 price point and the fact that the Whois shows the domain name had been

NameJet Makes It Easier to List Domain Names for Sale

I have heard and read quite a few complaints about the difficulty in privately listing domain names for sale on NameJet. From what I understand, the company has not added on many private sellers for a variety of reasons, with the primary reason being the lack of a user interface for sellers to observe their auctions and payment status.

Upon logging in to my account today (after clearing my cache for another reason), I had to agree to an updated terms of service, dated December 3,
2015. Once I passed that page, I noticed a new header within my account “List Your Domains on NameJet,” and underneath the header, there is a message that says “Apply to have your domains listed on NameJet’s exclusive auction platform.”

According to NameJet General Manager Jonathan Tenenbaum,

I just received an email from NameJet technical support to inform me that some auctions that ended today are going to be extended an additional 24 hours due to a technical issue. I assume that most participants impacted by this will receive the same email I received, but I am publishing it in the event that isn’t the case.

In total, 50 auctions are being extended by 24 hours. If you were involved in an auction that is being extended,  it will show up in your active auction list. I can’t recall the last time this happened at NameJet.

Here’s the email I received:

FlashCards.com Sells for $250,000 via Sedo

According to a tweet this morning (embedded above), Sedo broker Dave Evanson  has brokered the sale of FlashCards.com for $250,000.  FlashCards.com has been registered under privacy protection at Fabulous since 2009, so I am unable to share information about the buyer or the seller. I will attempt to reach out to the company that owned the name back in 2009 to see if they were the sellers and if they can provide any details.

I reached out to Dave Evanson to see if he could share any additional information about the sale, and he was unable to do so. He  let me know that the buyer is an end user buyer, so I would assume this domain name will be used at some point in the future. As of this morning, the domain name is still parked, but perhaps the usage of the domain name will shed light on who bought it.

$250,000 seems like an excellent price for this domain name. In February of 2009, Ron Jackson
