showcase Domains You Won at Auction or Closeout

[Ategy]

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"

Hmmmn .. I don't see the obvious end user .. but based on the enthusiasm shared with @Uppercredit I'm obviously missing something .. lol .. curious how you see it used and/or who you see as a potential buyer?
Getting names we like at $5 closeout is always a great feeling!

just sold the domain for $579

Emcee // dot // org
Radii // dot // net

Couple of great short real word non-com's. I'm not huge on .net .. UNLESS it's for tech type words .. and in that sense Radii is an amazing name (plural of Radius) .. particularly with all the trend to double up letters like "i" .. in this case it's the real spelling!

FlyingBasset // dot // com
- Just a great and fun sounding generic brand for just about anything.

PlatinumIRA // dot // com
- In the USA, IRA stands for an actual financial term "Individual Retirement Account". So I obviously really like this one.

PennyClover // dot // com
- Two lucky things together. The two words also sound good together. I like this a lot as a gambling brand.

DesiredDwellings // dot // com
- At first I wasn't too sure on this. It's aged 10 years. What really sold me is the growth of AirBNB type businesses and more importantly that more and more jurisdictions are passing laws to let them operate legally. The DD alliteration was the extra big bonus on this one.

PlatinumIRA sounds good, very thoughtful. Hopefully a nice end user sale one day
PennyClover is creative. It's the kind of domain which deep meaning you ponder for a long time.

Yeah .. very happy with the IRA one.
As for PennyClover .. I grabbed it cause the two terms are related to luck (lucky penny .. 4 leaf clover). madd to that I saw a really nice usable logo of a 4 leaf clover on a coin.

Very nice brandable domain even with it actually being a typo .. fantastic buy if you got it cheap!
