Marketplace? or a marketplace with majority of domainers interested in various cctlds?

The live auction event was a big failure in my opinion, because many killer names in major cctlds have received almost no interest at all.

The auction was not for .TV names alone, and the fact that the majority of audience were domainers and NOT end users.

Unlike the online auctions, live auctions fail to provide:

1. Extended visibility (featuring the auction in multiple websites)

2. Extended duration (usually online auctions close after 7 days from the auction start date)

3. Targeted audience base (Live auctions have very limited number of targeted audience in total, with very few end-users)

Here is the list of .NL names that were sold via Sedo's BeNeLux exclusive online auction held in November 2008 :


Aed.nl € 25,500

Mijn.nl € 19,500

Daten.nl € 18,000

liedjes.nl € 15,000

Huurautos.nl € 11,100

Kapsels.nl € 8,500

Gratisseks.nl € 7,500

Huiswerk.nl € 6,600

Alcohol.nl € 6,400

Partijen.nl € 5,000

Geurtje.nl € 4,860

Pinksteren.nl € 4,100

Profielen.nl € 4,000

Zalen.nl € 3,600

Filmen.nl € 3,500

Zeilboten.be € 1,560

Topdomein.nl € 1,000

Contrarily, the Traffic Amsterdam event has failed to push many .NL names even though the live auction event was held in Netherlands, the country which owns the .NL cctld.

The unsold .NL names in Traffic Amsterdam Live auction event:

666.nl

Local.nl

Bioscopen.nl (cinemas)

Reclames.nl (Advertisements)

The result of the live auction event clearly shows that without interest (lack of targeted audience), the domain names (irrespective of the cctlds) wont do well in a live auction event which has a very little exposure.
