SILENT auction at TRAFFIC WEST - The RUNNING COMMENTARY thread - NP REPORTERS NEEDED!

name idol · Mar 7, 2007

First of all, kudos to acc for the original idea suggested in the .mobi forum.

The rationale for this thread is many fold:

1. The vast majority of us do not have access to the silent auction area - it is passworded and apparently only accessible to TRAFFIC West attendees (at least not before March 10).

2. The vast majority of domains for sale at TRAFFIC are in the silent auction - and some of them are high profile gems.

3. There are bound to be several NP members who would wish to provide running commentary when interesting bids come in - and the value thereof would be multiplied many times if it's all in one thread so people know where to find it on NamePros

4. We will not clutter the rest of the forum with identically themed threads

So who wants to be our citizen reporter(s)?

If you would rather focus on the Live auction for now, you can do so here:

Thanks RJ, this might not get bid on but you just never know....I think a lot of members will be posting names, you might have your hands full. Thanks again.

There are 154 .MOBI's in the silent auction. Only bandlist.mobi so far has a bid on it ($300).

wot said:
If I read the comments on other threads correctly then a hundred or more of the "live auction" names were added to the silent auction :?

As the hallway fiasco ( confirmed or not?) allowed "buyers" to find out what reserve prices were do not expect any bids until the last moment. Don't know if this applies to those orignally accepted for the silent auction

this is a very good point...almost like cheating so to speak...I gotta say I sure learned alot yesterday...

These are the carryovers from the live auction, now in the silent auction,

Thanks for the info, RJ.

Keep it comin...!

mkylut · Mar 9, 2007

Many thanks RJ for the info

name idol · Mar 9, 2007

Thank you RJ!

Don't want to get you into trouble, so please ignore this question if you are not at liberty to discuss it: Would I be right in assuming these numbers are the (adjusted) minimum bids and not something else?

dochlaggie · Mar 9, 2007

RJ,

If it is not too much trouble later on during the silent auction could you keep an eye on my names-

countrymusicstar.com
artisttour.com
artisanprints.com
matchbuy.com
timesaved.com
realigns.com
keyclicks.com
askwhom.com

thanks so much.
I think you are going to be very busy.

matt_bodis · Mar 9, 2007

Hey RJ,

Let me know what happens with the 2 letter/2 number .com's! Thanks!

fonzie_007 · Mar 9, 2007

If it wasn't for the $499 non-refundable fee, I'd be bidding on a few of the domains in the silent auction.

BOB STAHL · Mar 9, 2007

Do you think that the prices will be so out of whack that the $499 counting towards purchases won't make much of a difference?

I would be tempted at a couple of names myself but think the $499 fee going towards purchase won't have much of an impact.

mejcdj · Mar 9, 2007

I know that there are many good names listed there with very small reserves and some with no reserves.

See if you can find a few from the master list with 1-5k on them or no reserve that interest you.. then ask some one with access if you can get a reserve price on them. It might be well worth your time to at least check it out since the $499 does go towards the purchase price.

JMO :hehe:

what does "Live Auction" mean now? when I searched my names from the moniker they are listed as Live Auction.

Devil_Dog · Mar 10, 2007

If you could look out for:

stereostore.com
semperfidelis.com
shopbooks.com
blackfolk.com

That'd be appreciated.

No bids on any of those.

Note that in previous silent auctions there was virtually no activity until a few hours before the close time. Every domain I had an interest in received multiple bids the last day.

Domains that didn't sell in the live auction were moved to the "Live Auction" section of the silent auction.

cache · Mar 10, 2007

can you look for
cableCellPhone.com
InternetGameOnline.com

are they live or silent?

thanks.

airwav · Mar 10, 2007

Hey RJ,

Can you keep an eye on:

MSFT.US and USCasinos.US :wave:

Thansk!

wot · Mar 10, 2007

RJ - looks like the silent auction (live auction transfers are moving apace:?)

Some huge bids particularly the strong .com :? Am I reading the update correctly:?
