Advertising.eu ($5000+ at eBay)

[DotUSDomains]

Just had a look on ebay and noticed avertising.eu is up for auction,

http://cgi.ebay.com/advertising-eu-...710428065QQcategoryZ11153QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Any ideas on final value??

 

[diddie]

5200 bid actually, it will be one of the first high .eu sales, it can show the temperature of the market (even if its on ebay).
Today we're gonna pass the 1,5M .eu registrations (1,478,752 now)

 

[gazzip]

I'm not sure what he might get for it - but I think he would be mad to sell it right now, it's probably just a publicity move IMO.

[DotUSDomains]

5200 bid actually

Yep never wanted to give the exact price away,spoils the fun

he may well have a $100,000 reserve and see what he gets the bidding upto.
all we need now if for sedo to show what the bid prices are for the other .eu's up for sale.

I doubt that the decent prices to be paid for the best keywords picked up by the sunrise gamers are going to be reflected in all the crap regged by everyone else we've seen so far. The hype has caused a ton of wasted regs and I'd bet we'll see 1/3rd of them drop next renewal time. That said, I hope EU works.

Just noticed a couple of others with bids.

artandcrafts.eu (surely the plural of arts makes more sense?) - $150

And the super-TM friendly!!
www .disneystudios .eu
www .paramountstudios .eu
www .warnerbrosstudios .eu
At $500 so far

Both with plenty of days to go.

I agree with outlawbiker.

The real prices will be paid in 1-2 years when the .eu is a real success. I think we need to have another TLD which is as highly popular like the .com.

But that is only my opinion. And sorry if I changed the direction of the thread.

hey, I got high bid on advertising.eu! yeehaa

 

[Shorty]

The bidding could easily top a few more thousand I reckon.

Whether his reserve will allow that is another matter...

 

[1901gt]

Was wondering how he publicise his auction to receive so many bids.

Maybe a press release?

 

[SimpleDomaining]

my idea is $10000

 

[footodors]

I asked him what his reserve price is, he said; "reserve is in the low xxxxxx"
If it were pesos, I might have a chance.

 

[sker]

If the name is not been sold, the seller gonna end up paying 10% of the reserve price. Its the new ebay trading policy.

i got burned by them couple of months ago.

Good luck advertising.eu

Really? I think this is the most stupid business decision ebay could make!
I wil for sure not sell anything on eBay if this is the case.
