Speaking of steals.... knee.com for $37,500. One orthopedic surgery can cost that much. My father just had a knee replacement. If I was an orthopedic surgeon, I would have jumped all over this.
I hope the after-hours auction goes well. I've got StomachBands.com in there..
I'm disappointed.
My No.org had received higher offers at Sedo (upto 45k). There weren't really any bidders at this auction. Sure, Porn.net sold for 400k. But that was also the minimum bid, so hardly any bidding took place.
Not a successful auction. Lesson learned: to get the best prices, stick to tried and tested auctions. These quality names would've fetched 15 million at Traffic.
Man, I feel for you! I remembered you saying you had requested a higher reserve than the one they gave you. Is that still the case? If so, I would imagine you could argue the legitimacy of this sale. This is one of the biggest steals of the auction in my opinion. Such a great name.
With that in mind, those who provided the domains to the auction probably provided a lot of good names and took a risk on some by having low reserves and took and took a risk of not selling others, but making loads of money if they did sell, by setting them high.
Exactly. And in the whole country, not one orthopaedic surgeon knew the name was up for sale. Which will be the natural progression of future auctions --> active brokering, i.e. notifying prospective buyers.
I know Giode. I could argue for my case, but then, I'm still making a very nice profit here. I've being eying a couple of names for some time. I can at least buy them with this money now.
Sashas, No.org was the name I was most interested in. I was surprised that it sold so low. This domain has so many uses for non-profit organizations and movements it is just crazy.
I feel bad for you and wish you better luck in the future.
IT'S all over-rated.... I hope some of the employees from SnapNames.com drop dead after this auction there all a bunch of crooks who need to be punished and punished hard for all the crookedness they have done.
I think it is sign of general weakness in the market more than anything. Who is going to be bullish about buying domains right now when the US economy is going off the rails?, a sale today is a different thing to having received an offer last year. The recent Sedo results looked weak as well, I'm guess the upcoming Traffic auction will show the same unless things pick up by that time.
Let's not confuse caution brought on by the stock market collapse with any real decline in the domain market. This auction had very poor timing - nobody's fault.
Another innovation that is well past due. It is amazing how computers are causing enormous increases and efficiencies in the flow of information, yet domain names are sold almost as if this was the 19th century.
Thanks for posting a list on your blog. It's not easy to find a list of names sold if you own a mac. Snap software is only for the PC.
