ZGM.COM went for $3,520 on Bido today.

It seems that the minimum for LLL.coms is around $3.5k these days... they were about $8k this time a year ago

 

[MediaHound]

Yes, as Randy has observed, LLL.com minimum wholesale value has certainly fluctuated to a level lower than this time last year. The several sales of lll.com that we've ran on Bido either predicted the market fluctuations or confirmed them. It's like a weather report

In other news at Bido, we made still ANOTHER big announcement yesterday -

Get 2% Cashback on Bido if your Pre-Bid wins the auction.
A Pre-Bid is a bid placed prior to the auction start.
So if you bid to win, and place that bid early, you'll get rewarded for it.

Thoughts, comments, and feedback are most appreciated.

Todays auction is for HealthcareChat.com

$5k not 8 I would say

I'm just going by perspective. I can't recall seeing even the lousiest LLL.com sell for under $8k about 6 months ago... it went from $6k to $8k and I thought it was going to rise further... but then there came the decline.

Bido's first .mobi, TechSupport.mobi, is scheduled for auction on April 20, 2009. Should be interesting to see how a .mobi does. Should be real interesting to read the comments between mobi lovers and haters, lol.

Tech Support [] Mobil is a good quality name. And I agree with you about
anticipating the "pro" comments. Although these comments will most likely
be focused on the extension. The keywords would do well in most TLD


In a way .... the extension is at auction here.


My guess is $425.00 ish.

I agree. A cash litmus test of a pretty good mobi domain.

Hi Steve, thanks for your participation. If anyone missed the interview, it was awesome and Rick ruffled a bit of feathers as usual. This is the link to view the video:

By the way, Bido has paid for a bunch of rooms at the upcoming Traffic show, the first ten people to book their show ticket and room at the host hotel will get their first night free. It works like this: if you have not yet booked your ticket and hotel stay, lets help you make your decision to go - just mention "Bido" at the sign in desk, and after verification, you'll be reimbursed for your first night at the hotel.

 

[Archangel]

I guess it's time to see what BIDO can do for me. I submitted my card info and placed a bid on this next auction. I also submitted 10 domains, including computers.vc and own.sc So I'll see what, if anything, comes from it all.

Hi all,

I ended up getting the winning bid for the minisites service auctioned off on Bido today. I look forward to utilizing this service for the development of a newly acquired domain of mine, magicshops.com! This minisite will perfectly compliment a newly launched magic shop and club of mine at Magicians.com.

I'll be back with an update on my experience with minisites.com!

Sincerely,
Ryan Ogaard, Owner
Magicians.com - Share the Magic

 

[MediaHound]

Congrats Ryan, we wish you the best with it.
And Randy, thanks for submitting your names to Bido and for your support.

[briman1970]

I was kind of disappointed that Jarred didn't post my domain on the thread before the auction - I didn't know this thread existed until today - but it still sold for a good amount (IMHO).

$666.00 - Just got paid yesterday!

It took them less than two weeks to get my name up for auction. All-in-all, a pretty good experience. I'm hoping to get some more names there soon. Hopefully they'll accept a few.

Anyone think I should submit Lawyer.im? It sold at Sedo for $500 in October of last year, but the deadbeat bidder never paid.
