You usually don't see so many 3L.coms close on the same day at GoDaddy. But today we had a group of 8 close at the same time and that might have pushed their pricing down a bit. UXQ.com closed at $11,000 as the low and XKF.com closed at $15,850 at the high. 7 of these were no reserve so true market prices, 1 name was reserve, it was probably the best for the Chinese market WQQ.com, it hit $12,000 but did … [Read more...]
In 2017 I asked – Could we do a domain auction here on Twitter? The replies were mixed
Twitter auctions have no consequences for bad or illegal behavior There was a secondary discussion point in a post on Namepros about auction houses. @MetBob mentioned he saw that Daryl Lopes auctioned a name off on Twitter and thought it was a good idea. He wrote: For those on Twitter, I see that right now @Darryl Lopes is auctioning a 4 letter .com domain on Twitter. As far as I know this is … [Read more...]
KQ.net sells on Namepros
A couple weeks ago I wrote about QM.net selling on Namepros for $13,777 and KQ.net being up next. The same seller put KQ.net up for auction with the same $1 start no reserve. It closed at $12,400 with ClarkeMarketing winning the name. Two of the bigger auction closes on Namepros, especially with $1 start, no reserve price. Congrats to the buyer and seller. … [Read more...]
Espresso.net closes at $10,001 in a battle between two bidders
As I mentioned earlier today I started tracking GoDaddy public auctions lately. I had another domainer ask why they didn't seem to do as well as expired auctions. (People would rather donate to GoDaddy than another domainer?). In talking with Michael Sumner he explained that Namebio has not tracked GoDaddy public auctions, no real way to automate the process, so I will send the data over to Michael, least I … [Read more...]
After a successful sale of QM.net now KQ.net up for sale on Namepros
A couple weeks ago I wrote about QM.net being put up for auction on Namepros. You don’t see a valuable, liquid name such as a 2L.net be put up with a $1 start, no reserve. The auction started on July 29, so it took two weeks to close but the auction closed at $13,777 and won by Ian Mcalister. The same seller is now auctioning KQ.net off with the same $1 start no reserve. It's nice to see more … [Read more...]
QM.net sells at Namepros
A couple weeks ago I wrote about QM.net being put up for auction on Namepros. You don't see a valuable, liquid name such as a 2L.net be put up with a $1 start, no reserve. The auction started on July 29, so it took two weeks to close but the auction closed at $13,777 and won by Ian Mcalister. I have often thought that Namepros could become a bigger player in the auction business, the community … [Read more...]
It’s good to be GoDaddy
Thursday was another shining example of why it's good to be GoDaddy. Someone let's 44 six number .coms that start with 888 expire and BAM. $48,000 plus for doing nothing. Thanks to Namebio for the data: 44 Total Sales $48.7k Dollar Volume $1,106 Average Price $173 Standard Deviation $363 Low Price $1,556 High Price 888263.com 1,556 … [Read more...]
When domain auctions jump the shark
There was a thread that's now closed on Namepros where someone pointed out that a member wanted an auction to end 278 hours after the last bid. Some felt that this is fine, let the seller take as long as they like, they are trying to promote a good name. The name is average at best imo. 071.info is not a premium domain name. Now of course Namepros can at anytime implement a rule that there is a max … [Read more...]
GoDaddy really needs to scrap these valuations
Anyone who has been in this business for just a solid year, knows that artificially generated valuations are crap 99% of the time. I had an interesting conversation about a week ago where someone asked me about the GoDaddy valuations. I said they are mostly for entertainment purposes but I do think they do harm to new domain investors and non domainers. If GoDaddy believes in their valuations, they do … [Read more...]
