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 […]

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 […]

You need a little luck in the name game, for the stars to align properly. Sometimes it comes along just right. I am interested in betting related names and I remember seeing a few months back that USbetting.org sold for $15,000. I thought that was a great price. Last week while posting the top sales […]
Continue ReadingIt’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 […]
Continue ReadingWill this arbitrage play net a big profit?
It looks like NMD.com sold on GoDaddy for $15,000 according to a poster at Namepros. This was a buy it now so I don’t think Namebio picked up the data. The domain was registered at Network Solutions since 1995. The domain had been under privacy for many years, the nameservers however have not changed. The […]
Continue ReadingWhen 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 […]

Continue ReadingNamepros members calling a sale BS vindicated
There was one hell of a debate going on today with a sale reported on Namepros. It all started with $30,000 Sold ***IOT.COM (9 letters) Members like AbdulBasit.com, Karmaco, Golan, Michael M and myself making the point that incomplete data in the thread is basically worthless. Others basically told people they were jealous, get lost, […]
Continue ReadingIncomplete data is worthless
I know there are a few who always say they don’t release any info on their sales. There are others who feel they know why and it’s not for anything honorable or on the up and up. Whether someone is trying to hype themselves up, boast about something that didn’t happen, or is just a […]
Continue ReadingWrong feeling on a brandable costs me some money
So back in May of 2016 I purchased a 29 domain lot of BrandBucket listed names. Cost $1,500. I really wanted 1 name, Inteleca.com, I liked some of the other 5 letter names and some I really didn’t love, so I thought I would lower the acquisition cost of the portfolio purchase and liquidate some […]
