The auction for Election.com on NameJet ended this afternoon, and after quite a long extended auction, the domain name sold for $65,100. There were 448 bids from 323 bidders in this public auction. The winning bidder has a NameJet nickname of abcjk.

There were seven bidders who had bids of $40,000 or higher. Four of those bidders placed bids of $50,000 or higher. Back in March, Election.com was being brokered by Domain Holdings, although I don’t see an asking price in the newsletter I received announcing the listing. The domain name is currently registered to New Ventures Services Corp.

Once payment is confirmed by NameJet and the domain name changes hands, I’ll post an update to this article.

As Shane mentioned yesterday, Lowballer.com is currently up for auction at NameJet. There are 62 active bidders for this great domain name, which is surprisingly low considering how many people there are out there who would make good use of this domain name because of their lowballing nature (kidding).

If I win the auction, I think it would be funny to set up an email address and use it to inquire about domain names to purchase privately. It would also be pretty funny to set up email addresses like domain.shane@lowballer.com and send out offers “I’ll give you $500 USD for your 3 number .com domain name! I can close immediately using Escrow.com!” Alternatively, someone could set up a lowballer directory on Lowballer.com, or perhaps even an adult website.

Kidding aside, I think it’s a pretty funny brand name, and we’ll see what others think based on the final sale price.

NameJet sent out a clever tweet today marketing the auction of the Yad.com domain name. The graphic above shows a hand pointing to the domain name.

To most people who saw the tweet, this is probably more of an innocuous graphic than anything. To someone who knows Hebrew, it’s pretty clever. In Hebrew, the word “yad” means hand. In addition, a “yad” is a pointer that is used when a person is reading the torah (Torah.com). You can click here to see what a yad looks like if you’d like.
