.CO - The OFFICIAL Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread - Page 101

3dDomainNames · 10-04-2010, 07:07 PM

Checking on TRAFFIC Dublin, i see only 11 names sold (out of like 190), and most of the bigger ones were dot nets (one .in sold as well)

- - - -

I just added a couple of new names, based on the not-so-distant future.
I would absolutely LOVE to develop these if i can find the time and resources (anyone interested in partnering up, LMK)

• MovieStreaming.co
• MovieStreams.co

very nice search volume for a still relatively new industry and one that will only increase with the upcoming apple and google tv...etc..
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/cctld-discussion/573976-co-official-discussion-showcase-sales-report.html

pretty happy about these.

feedback?

Thanks

of the 15 I submitted here is what they accepted.

Trying to decide if I want to let them in the auction. $200 minimum commission or 15% whichever is higher. Dont like that 200 minimum considering they arent doing crap to market these names before the auction and honestly Latona's auctions havent been good recently when assocaited with the traffic conferences. Domain sales for $300 and they get 200 of it? WTF

anybody know if they are accepting co.uk names?
If they accepted those, perhaps they would accept these (?)

• NotebooksComputer.co.uk
• NotebooksComputers.co.uk
• LaptopsComputer.co.uk

TRAFFIC auction:

if a name gets bids, but doesn't match or exceeds my reserve price, is there still a fee? Shouldn't be .. i should only pay out according to sale price IF it meets my reserve, correct?

I believe this is the case...
... just make sure you submit a strong enough reserve to cover all costs... it's $1,700 a ticket to simply walk in the door.

.. also...
.. i haven't been following every thread to see what other genre's and extensions of names have been approved, but am i mistaken to think that they have already grabbed an abundance of co names?

could be a good thing.

Yeah, I would not get too excited about the TRAFFIC auction. Very few names actually sell at that venue.

It has kind of gone downhill since Latona took over, although that could be timed with the economy, or the fact there are just far too many domain conferences with the same faces.

I am sure they are accepting quality domains in any extension. No offense but the terms there are not that desirable.

no offense taken
... using the previous version of GKT, these had some very big numbers, but the new model is showing a completely different result.

(BTW - HATE the new google keyword tool)

also ... i just figured since the matching dot co was approved, maybe this can get in as well and have a fighters chance.

Heya Saucey

... NewsFeeds looks kinda nice, but do you plan on building this out?... can't say i love the others
(sorry)

GroomingProducts.co may be a better alternative to both pet shampoo and dog shampoo... plus it's a little more versatile (?)
Unless, of course, you have a specific end-user in mind.

still avail if interested

Good luck with your names

is anybody familiar with 'lead generation'?
i would like to start doing this for a couple of these names and need to be pointed in the right direction by trusted sources.

This push would make a noisy barrage for a short while, but will soon be alleged by people. The problem comes in because .COM is so similar with .CO

It's tempting to submit SFM.co

Should i?

gilescoley · 10-05-2010, 08:53 AM

I wouldn't hold to much hope in this auction, it seems just about any .co names are being accepted. I bet most of us have reserves set too high to avoid any risk of their names being sold cheaply.

I think you will find less than 5% of .co names will sell? Thats my estimate anyway. You must remember the sales we have been seeing are the names that businesses (or domainers) really wanted and were willing to pay money for. Just because for example, FAL.co sold for $5K, it doesn't mean TAL.co will sell for a similar amount. The name more than likely means something (acronym maybe) to the buyer and who has some development plan for the domain.

Just some food for though all....

daythis · 10-05-2010, 10:32 AM

It seems like everyone is being excepted --except for me. I submit them
BestFriend.mobi
SupportGroup.co
Blew.co -
Smock.co
and they submit them back to me with a decline message. lol will try other names.

I am not sure what Latona is thinking taking most of these names.

TRAFFIC is a domainer conference. Many of the landrush auctions involved end users. I would be surprised if more than 1% - 5% actually sell.

The good news is I think SupportGroup.co is better than about 90% of the accepted .CO I have seen.

I can't say i have high hopes myself - would be a pleasant surprise, but i seem to think the same way... also.. it seems so many dot co's are being accepted because i believe dot co is a sponsor. (i could be wrong)

however, and this is not to start trouble in any sense, it could actually be pretty fun..

... you think you could leave a prediction as to which names you have seen accepted so far that have the best shot at selling and the ones who have the least shot.

no offense intended for any names you do list as hit or miss, just thought it could be fun to see what you predict and what actually does sell (if at all).

Mystic Nobles Media · 10-05-2010, 11:03 AM

I agree, they seem to be accepting pretty much any domain. I am surprised but we will see.

Do you have to be there and/or pay that? I thought not, but I could be wrong.

ctbon · 10-05-2010, 03:32 PM

I wouldn't even bother with flipping.co. Not a single domain there has a bid and you would only be selling to domainers which is not a good way to make money. It just seems like a site to grab people's money. You shouldn't have to pay to submit a domain to a site that no one goes to and therefore your domain doesn't sell. Better to spend your $10 on a new domain.

NLP · 10-05-2010, 06:08 PM

Ok, something strikes me as strange. These are the names Toby from Latonas has said they'd accept into the auction at my current reserve prices, but he said "as slots are limited, I can't promise live, but we will pull them up if we have room at the show. Agreed?"
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=573976

I didn't submit anything via the online form - this has all been over email. He picked these names out of a list as ones that they wanted to include, and then asked for reserve prices (which I've provided in ranges, my reserve price for these is not actually $1K).

I know none of this probably matters because most of everyone's names won't sell at the auction, but does this strike anyone as strange? I expected to have to sign something official. This agreement sounds really informal, and by saying 'yes,' I don't know what sort of control I'm giving Latonas over these names during the 60 day period after the auction if they DON'T get mentioned live.

He also did not answer my question about how reserve prices affect BIN prices in the extended auction online. I hate to sound paranoid, but I'm wondering if it's possible they're trying to stockpile domains for the online auction afterwards and only plan on mentioning selected ones at the show.

I'm hesitant to agree to anything that says "we can't promise you." Am just reading into things too much?

Maybe a final fling?

I had earlier submitted a number of fairly good names with sensible reserves and all were rejected.

Last week sent in a mish mash of 7 names and all were accepted.

It sounds like they will only use a select few from what he said. I received an agreement that I have to send back, so I'm sure they will send one to you if you ask. Do you happen to know if we have to be there at the event? I doubt it but making sure.
