Call to submit Domains for Aftermarket.com Auction at Domainer Mardi Gras

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to give a quick reminder that the final date for submissions is January 30, 2009, which means there is still time to submit your domains. Reviewing starts immediately after that by the Domain Consultant team. The catalog and silent bidding starts February 13. The auction is scheduled for February 21, from 2:45-4:15pm CST, 90 minutes of live auction activity.

If you participated in a previous Aftermarket.com auction, please note that the process to submit domains has been simplified for this and future auctions.

The process to submit domains is now as follows:
- Log into your auction domain manager at www.Aftermarket.com
- Select the domain you want to submit.
- Then, in the Actions drop down box, chose the Migrate to Domainer Mardi Gras. These domains will then be listed in the Domainer Mardi Gras tab.

It is likely each domain status is ‘Pending Item Verification’ and requires the email verification to be sent again; click the verification link to proceed. This action ensures that the domain ownership has not changed since the previous auction submission. In this tab, update each domain sales data that is specific for this auction. New domains not previously submitted to any auction can be added by selecting the ‘Add Domains to this Auction’ button at the top of the frame.

Space is limited - Get your submissions in now for consideration!

Don’t miss out on another successful Aftermarket.com auction or the Domainer Mardi Gras conference.

I've submitted a few domains about 3 weeks ago & it still shows pending item verification.
When I click on "pending item verification" on each domain; it goes to a new small screen & then when I click "send email verification"; it does nothing????
Tried on Firefox & Chrome...

If your system doesn't send me verification emails of my domains, does this mean they won't get reviewed??

Really confused....

Pls help me out here,

Thanks.

We definitely want to 'review' your domains for consideration.

Man that contract reads alot like monikers. 15% comish and locked into exclusive right to sell for which ever date is later which would be 180 days?

No thanks.

Where is the contract or the Terms and Conditions ? I have logged in but can't see any Terms and Conditions - can someone give me a link?

 

[johnny6]

Still a little choppy, but I found the submission process this time aorund much easier, so good work there.

Request (unless I missed something, which is more than possible): Any way of next time having a way of entering all the reserves for all the domains submitted in one fell swoop? Entering each of them manually was a bit tedious. Not the end of the world, just a suggestion. Cheers.

Okay, today I just listed two domains that I wish to sell as a lot, with a low reserve ($250.00).

It says "under review." How do I verify ownership?

I had submitted the same domains last year, but pulled them because of frustrating technical problems with your system.

I have not received any email yet at my DomainTools acct email (and I have since changed my Whois email), so I was wondering how to verify.

Thanks!

**** Johnny6 - Thank you for the thoughtful feedback in regards to improving the interface. We truly appreciate users such as yourself who make helpful and quality suggestions that will benefit all users. We are currently looking at expanding the 'bulk add' feature to provide additional and easier ways to get domain and reserves added more efficiently. We hope to improve upon this feature later this year.

**** Ms Domainer - We have checked your account and the two submissions have been verified and are currently under review. Since these domains were previously submitted the system recognized that they had been verified previously.

As mentioned previously the selection committee will notify those participants whose domains have been chosen with additional event information, any reserve change suggestions and 'next' steps. The status for the chosen domains will also update to 'In auction'.

All others whose domains were not selected will be notified after the submission period ends on January 30 and the review process is completed. The status for these domains will remain as 'under review' for this event.

We truly appreciate your participation in the selection process.

Thanks AM - I read the agreement and submitted a few names which are now 'under review' - how long does the review process normally take ?

**** Advaita - Thank you for participating. The submission process officially ended Friday January 30, 2009. Our Selection Committee began reviewing domain submissions on Friday January 16, 2009. The review process is entirely dependent on the final number of submissions that were submitted. We would expect that the list will start coming together this week and we will be notifying selectees accordingly. We also will keep adding additional information to our own blog at www.domaintools.com.

Please keep in mind that if any of your domains are chosen for the event, the selection committee will contact you directly and the status for that domain will update from 'Under Review' to 'In Auction'. All domains not chosen for the event will remain as 'Under Review' for this event.

**** Hello John! Thank you for your note. We expect that we will receive the final list on Friday morning from our Selection Committee and we will work to get the list posted to our Corporate Blog site: http://blog.domaintools.com/

Also those participants whose domains have been chosen will also be notified accordingly with additional event information, any necessary reserve change suggestions and 'next steps'. We truly have appreciated everyone's patience as our Selection Committee reviewed the thousands and thousands of domains we received during the submission process.

Yesterday I got an email from Aftermarket.com saying "One of your domains is being seriously considered for the upcoming Aftermarket.com Live Auction." That was good news. But it also said "A reviewer has suggested that you change your reserve amount for the domain listed below." My listed reserve was $1,500 (well below what this domain should sell for). The suggested reserve was $0!

I'm reluctant to take the risk of offering a valuable domain with no reserve. In a case like that, what opening bid would the auctioneer try to solicit? How low would they go? And if I don't agree to a $0 reserve, will that hurt my chances of having this domain included in the live auction?

Thanks for any insights you can provide.

P.S. On the auction page of the domainermardigras.com site, it says "The final auction catalog will be available for viewing on February 13, 2009 at blog.domaintools.com. Pre-bidding will also being February 13 at www.Aftermarket.com." [Of course "being" should be "begin". ] But the calendar farther down that page says "February 16, 2009: Final Auction Catalog Announced; Pre-Bidding Begins Online". Which is correct - the 13th or 16th?

**** Randomo - We would be more than happy to address these questions off post. Responding directly to the email you received will ensure that it is channeled directly to the Selection Committee.

Unfortunately we have had a slight delay in finalizing the catalog for Domainer Mardi Gras. The information stating Monday, February 16, 2009, is now the target date for publication of the final catalog and the beginning of silent bidding. We apologize to everyone for the delay.

:hi:

What time will the final list be published (including link)? :gl:

PS. Will "Under Review" remain the status ... for those domains were not selected? :red:

Thank you and all the best,

Knock. Knock. :red: :blink:

 

[b2b]

Just received an email that none of my domains were selected

And that they only could select 50 for the auction catalog.

Only 50??? That was my initial reaction! I actually thought this was going to be a major domain auction....alas.

Despite having some prime estate, I was rejected in favor of such amazing deals as

Showmeyourboobs.com
and
BusinessProblem.com

Sometimes one must wonder who runs such things.
