This thread is to share domains you've Won at Auction or Bought at Closeout

Closeout = After auction but before completely dropping from registrar and before going into redemption.


I *HIGHLY* suggest to post only after the domain is transferred *INTO* your account!


Go here if it's a domain you bought that was available at anytime for "hand registration": Your Reg of the Day
Go here if it's a domain you snapped / "drop-catched" after "Pending Delete": Your Snap of the Day


Feel free to disguise the domain like Slash // dot // com or any o|t|h|e|r w a y you want.
IMPORTANT: *If* someone does disguise their name, please respect them by quoting them directly, or copy/paste them directly.


Things to optionally include (or just simply post the domain name):

  1. What you paid for the domain(s), or the price range, or no price info at all.
  2. Any information, reasons or hard data (traffic, CPC, etc) that lead you to buy the domain(s).
  3. Where (or who) you acquired the domain from.
  4. How many other bidders there were.
  5. Whether the domain was "expired" or not.
  6. Whether the domain was at "closeout" or not.
  7. The history of the domain.
  8. What you see the domain being used for.
  9. Who a potential buyer could be.
  10. Anything else you want to share .. these are just possible ideas not "rules" ;)

RowdyRhino // dot // com
- Just a super fun rhyming brand.

ToolFire // dot // com
- Two words that just work and sound well together. Wide range of potential tools in the world (Renovations, software, etc).

IronHyde // dot // com
- As long as you're not marketing Transformers this makes a really cool brand for something you want to give the impression of being really tough! Was a little hesitant because of the i/y .. but thought it was cool enough to if I could get it at closeout! ;)


Are these all from closeouts or expired auctions? I spent couple of hours each day going through the platform and I swear I've not seen any of those there. I'm sure I'd remember TypistPro/InfluenceGuru... Great catches tho! GL

Yeah .. Thanks .. I'm sharing a lot of the names I've acquired .. so trying to keep the exact amounts harder to find .. but yeah .. these all went through GD Auctions .. and many actually made it through auction with no bids so I grabbed at $11 closeout shortly after .. some I even waited a few more days for them to drop down to $5 closeout (final day at closeout before they drop completely)

I go through a lot of names each night .. and my eyes are likely going to fry at some point ... lol

I share some of the names I find here .. but obviously I keep many of the ones I'm looking to buy off the public list. But there are a serious good number of domains that I let go .. I've got 1800 domains .. way too many to manage I've found .. I'm trying to trim things down a bit .. just starting to actively wholesale a bit.

A few more from this year (GD Auctions). Some a little long, and the "i" or "e" Prefix names are a gamble (but I've sold several with those prefixes so worth a chance). Most are 14+ Years old (which might not matter to some) and all at GD Auctions with either just one bid or closeouts...

SherlockReport // dot // com
- I like this one because of how broad in scope it can be used for (Credit report, report on cheating spouses, reports on stocks, etc). Plus Sherlock is very recognisable and so old that I doubt it's a TM issue .. and even then I'd think the TM is more of a copywrite .. not the same thing.

IsItReallyYou // dot // com
- I honestly don't know what this could be used for .. lol. DNA testing? Lead gen for estates with no successors? Long lost love interests?

DryerReviews // dot // com
- Just good solid term with lots of search for an expensive product. Lead Gen!

WrongfulImprisonment // dot // com
- Lead Generation for lawyers.

You're going to have a hard time beating A t H o m e L e a r n i n g! lol .. But the B u d s one sounds like it could be a marijuana strain? lol

Thanks, I actually sold 2 Closeouts but won't post those names for buyer privacy. One was actually an "i" prefix name, and the other had "b u d s" in it too... LOL

- Just a great "exposive" name for a dating site.

- Lots and lots of people in the fetish and BDSM communities

PhotoFetish // dot // com
- Speaking of fetishes .. lol .. a few potential ways this one can go .. I just liked the way the words flow together.

Really nice that it already has interest! Did you get it at NameJet as well?

Wow .. I thought maybe the 3 backorders were simply from the other bidders from the namejet auction you won yourself. That's amazing then that there are actually 3 random backorders .. doesn't sound like much .. but if you never actually listed it then it's huge. I haven't even checked any of my names to see if any have interest there .. didn't even think it was possible!?

Closeout acquired: warpcat.com, 1999 domain.
Reasoning: Internet memes permeate our everyday Internet experience and of course cats feature prominently in memes. So the warpcat takes the madness one level further lol.

Yeah .. I really liked that one for the same reasons ... but I've just got too many domains to manage these days .. that's the main reason I'm liquidating some wholesale. Great name! :)

It's actually interesting, because it seems like most of the 'groundbreaking' stuff is happening in the racing front first.

Also in 2017 first electric only off-road centre in the UK. http://www.e-scape.org.uk/home/

Don't really know how the domain will play out, but I can confidently say that I've bought domains with much worse prospects before :xf.laugh:

Yup ... That's usually where all the cutting edge research is tested and applied first. I'm a pretty strong environmentalist .. but I can appreciate the Grand Prix (F1) because I know that despite how horrible it is for the environment, that the research and testing being developed and applied via racing will trickle down into conventional autos and in turn make them more efficient.
