Aftermarket.com -> NY T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Auction

[Spade]

Domaintools is using its Aftermarket.com (brand/site) for a live auction durring TRAFFIC in New York later this month. They limited the auction to 50 high quality domains/lots at "reasonable" reserve prices.

They are supposed to publish a list today of the domain names that will be auctioned - as were waiting - anyone submit?

 

[gazzip]

Nope but best of luck, at least it looks like someone else gets to choose them this time.

"Domain Consultant is a neutral third party comprised of leaders in the domain community, and has been contracted to review submissions and advise on the final list of lots going to auction. This is a team of professionals who actively participate as buyers, sellers, advisers and brokers, collectively contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars into the domain economy."

...sounds good . :tu:

Ive just got an email from Aftermarket.com - they will be releasing the list "soon". LoL.

^ Soon!

Aftermarket.com’s live auction platform will debut its first live auction on September 24, 2008, at the upcoming T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference in Brooklyn, New York. The Aftermarket.com auction is scheduled for 90 minutes, and we are aiming for approximately 50 to 60 carefully-chosen, well-priced domains. The final lots will be selected by an industry-leading team of experts analyzing each entry to ensure it meets our criteria of a quality domain (or lot), set at a fair and reasonable reserve price. Aftermarket.com will adhere to the DomainTools methodology of publishing in advance the starting reserve, ensuring there is no guessing at what the minimum price will be. We believe competitive pricing will encourage participation from a maximum number of bidders.

I'm hoping for better selections, more reasonable reserves, better promotions (of the event), and higher participation than previous events, IMHO. :gl:
PS. I currently have several domains that are "Under Review" status at time of post, as well.

All the best, friends! :talk:

The selection, as I understand it above, of "KidFlicks.com" is making me a little nervous ... ie., deja vu all over again, but I'm still looking forward to the final list, IMHO. :gl:

PS. I'm still "Under Review" status, how about you folks? :blink:

I got that email tonite. We'll see tomorrow!

Im under review as well. They asked that I lower a reserve - and I complied. Of course, now its the 18th and no list of domains yet. I dont understand why they have such a hard time doing this.

 

[FusionSpy]

Here is a sneak peak at auction list. Some pretty nice names and some that aren't so premium imo ( all of my domains still under review, probably won't make it to the auction ) . http://blog.domaintools.com/2008/09/aftermarketcom-auction-list-sneak-peek/

 

[DotWeekly]

A couple head scratchers in the list, but some nice ones as well. Dabbler.com is one of mine that made it so far. It get's about 1,500 uniques and 5,000 impressions a month, so I am sure that helped. Plus, I think it's a good domain.

Husband.com
Wife.com
HeatingFuel.com
Openings.com
TravelDirectory.com
EnergyTips.com

Those are all the ones that I liked.

 

[Federer]

I have a few that made the cut, I hope they fetch good prices:

NothingPersonal(dot)com
SleepNaturally(dot)com

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Where did u check status of your domains? I submited some of my names to domain tools - Traffic NY, but i dont see any information about it. I should be able to start domain manager, but i cant find any link to it ? Aftermarket.com is redirecting to http://www.domaintools.com/domain-manager/guide/.

 

[Spade]

Quite honestly. A bit miffed at the domain selection. Also a bit dissapointed that the domain they've asked me to reduce my reserve on, hasnt made the cut as of yet. With only 14 more spots, Im starting to doubt it will.

You should be able to see your domains you submitted their.

Even the domain of mine that is in, still says "Under Review" so I do not expect to see that change until the final full list is out.

The way I do it Matt, is after I log in at DT, I reenter Aftermarket.com in the address bar, and it'll take me to the domain manager. (kinda weird way, but it gets me there!)
