BrandBucket sales in August up 30% vs July

September 18, 2018 by Raymond Hackney Leave a Comment

BrandBucket sent out their September newsletter, and while I know some readers believe if you don’t get the actual names that sold it’s worthless, I respectfully disagree. I would like the names too but I do believe any data you can attain has some value attached to it and is worth the read. Takeaways: When […]

In 2017 I asked – Could we do a domain auction here on Twitter? The replies were mixed

August 30, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

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 […]

KQ.net sells on Namepros

August 27, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

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 […]

Two word.com names dominate BrandBucket July sales

August 23, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 3 Comments

BrandBucket sent out their latest newsletter and provided some detail into July sale. No sales figures were released but they did provide category data. Two word keywords dominated with 55% of all sales. A Quick Look Back at July: July was a great month for our sellers! We stayed on track to our sales goals […]

Espresso.net closes at $10,001 in a battle between two bidders

August 15, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

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

August 11, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

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 […]

One registrant gave up and the new one hit a home run

August 7, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 9 Comments

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 […]

It’s good to be GoDaddy

June 2, 2018 by Raymond Hackney Leave a Comment

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 […]

Will this arbitrage play net a big profit?

May 21, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

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 […]

When domain auctions jump the shark

May 18, 2018 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

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 […]
