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"

TutorMedia // dot // com
I like this one because ...
1- It's a media name
2- Tutoring is really big
3- Tutor is also a last name

BlubberButt // dot // com
I have actually no idea why I bought this one? lol .. Just a funny and common saying .. maybe not the best one .. but I like this type of domain usually!

Holocade //com//

Nice Holo name there!

BlueCrockery.Com

Sigh .. my mom has at least a million blue and white plates and other related things. I seriously I hope I die before her cause I definitely don't want to deal with them all! lol

4GCamera.com (Can you believe that?!)

I know I've seen this one before .. seems it was discussed somewhere (DomainSherpa? Here at NP?) .. where did you get it?

Got if from Godaddy closeouts one late night when I was looking for exact match products. Not so sure, thats be great if people were talking about my domain I’m just using it as an affiliate site while I do some outbound marketing with it, lots of end users with it.

Nice Holo name there!

Thank You ! I'm pretty happy about it , I feel I got very lucky .

It's will be between mine and (holo//ARcade) which one comes out dominate . Imo mine is shorter , more Brandable , and Futureistcly fashionable ! Arcades are cool I grew up on them ...but when the holo comes out the "ar" part of Cade will be more of an 80s retro sounding term .

Holo//Cade. However short simple and to the. Point 100% what it means which one sounds better spoken , and rolls of your tounge more easily ?

Thanks

Because there's tons of money in fashion and makeup!

Webilon // dot // com
Hybrid of Web and Babylon? I don't buy too many made up words like this .. but I liked this one for some reason!

DogBiteExpert // dot // com
Big stats on this one .. plus in the USA people love to sue each other .. quite a few websites for people claiming to be experts trying to make money as expert consultants/witnesses.

Honestly .. I like them both .. and whenever Holo technology does take off .. there will be more than enough room for both names to make big $$$

CYBER // TACOS // dot // com

Yummy .. love this for online food block or anything online food related!

YellowDomino // dot // com
Really like the rhyming and word flow of this one! Like it for a (yellow) cab company .. but obviously could work for just about anything.

PhotoAlbumSoftware // dot // com
I grabbed this because of the monster stats. 16 years, $1800 Estibot (a little more reliable for keywords). but more importantly a $9250 monthly search value (5456 exact monthly searches x $1.7 CPC)

JAimeMarketing // dot // com
Those of you who know French know this is grammatically wrong (should be "J'Aime Le Marketing") .. but it's in a similar way that "Like Marketing" actually should be "I Like Marketing" in order to be grammatically correct. But as a brand "Like Marketing" is amazing because everything social media revolves around getting Likes .. so I like this brand in French for the same reason .. the term used in social media for "Like" in French is "J'aime" (actually "I Like" . but it works in French .. I hope .. lol)

A little over a week ago there started to be a huge rush of names and of bids. On one of the days there was two batches of aged coffee and similar product domains expiring. Many were decent .. many went for larger amounts with several bids. These are 4 really nice ones that fell through the cracks a bit that I was able to snatch up. Couple of them have really nice stats .. and I like the Pods one as more and more people have those kinds of pod coffee machines at home. Also like the Club one as one of those box of the month type services!

[DomainBarracksRob]

Perhaps my BEST Brandable score yet....

PurpleHorn //dot// //com//

Just shy of 5 years old, This could be anything from a a Sex Shop, Media Site, Adult/Porn Site, Brand Name for anything from Food too Apps, to Accessories . Tech Site..Many Possibilities.

Quack!

Few more today:

IDI // CON // dot // com
INK // BLACK // dot // com - I really like this one as a news brandable
NEO // FM // dot // com - radio anyone?

Let me know (via PM) if you are a GD Auctions addict (like myself) and you want to pay less for the renewal / transfer part. Yes - this is valid also for DDC members - I know because I am one.

I am taking another stab ar premium .ws names. Won them on NameJet over the past week.

One of the great things is that all of these names are registered until 2026 so I avoid the renewal issue.

InfuseMultimedia // dot // com
Great prefix to go with a media name. Infuse give the image that they are putting in something extra into their work for their client. I already like single term Media and Multimedia names as there is demand for them .. but even better when the term is strong and meaningful.

ShootingStarMedia // dot // com
Same story as above here. ShootingStar might technically be two words .. but it's a single term ,, and a very strong and meaningful term at that. Shooting Stars are pretty rare, unique, special and cool .. great characteristics to associate your company with!

RedCarperBlog // dot // com
Red carpet not just makes a strong brand .. but it's still open to lots of possible use options as it could refer to people, VIPs, entertainment, etc etc ...

I quite like it .. but don't see why it only needs to be adult related. Bonus that it makes a very simple buy clear and memorable logo. Most of my names are aged .. I should start putting those numbers as well .. keep forgetting! lol

It's a good thing GD has sooo many names at auction every day .. I think you're very similar in buying style to me .. although I think you're grabbing slightly more on the shorter made up brandable side while I'm a bit longer bit real 2-words. I actually almost went for Neo // FM (I know I remembre seeing it in my lists and thinking it was a good one .. good enough that I might not even have shared it .. not sure .. lol). Although nobody listens to FM radio anymore, I think the term FM still has people thinking "radio", which is why I liked it. The first one I saw more ID // ICON .. but both certainly work. It's always interesting to see different opinions and perspectives, of the 3 names, I like the ones in black more than the one in red (really like Neo)! lol

One of the great things is that all of these names are registered until 2026 so I avoid the renewal issue.

I think the only problem with the expiration dates with the extended .ws is that you can't transfer them out to another registrar. Some nice names. I grabbed a little under a dozen strong .ws well over a year ago I think I let them all drop aside from Wind, Likes and an adult word .. So hard to resist amazing single words with stats sometimes .. I'm just not seeing them sell that much though .. but if you think about it .. even most .com don't sell .. just hard to truly evaluate actual chances with such domains. Good luck with them!

 

[UXela]

@Ategy.com - I also noticed we have quite similar buying preference. It's true - I am more inclined to buy made up short names if they sound good to me.

Maybe in the US and Canada people don't listen to FM anymore because they have the Sirius stuff. In Europe and Asia we listen to FM all the time - even with all the streaming services. I even listen to my favourite FM station when out of range through streaming.

Anyway - NEO // FM was not that expensive. INK // BLACK might have been a little expensive.
I also like the "NEO" prefix. I own NEO // SEO too. You should see the offers that one got.
