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"

Really like RedHexagon as brand @Ategy.com ! As you say, it's a no-brainer about the logo... Was this an expired auction or did you actually manage to score this gem in the closeouts?!

swear // dot // info - just won it at an auction site with minimal cost with no other bidders!!! A minimal investment for me, looking for a quick turnaround or I will build a website dedicated for "swear words".

I managed to grab a good, brandable domain sometime back.

OfficeTelephony // dot // com
Totally in love with this one. Phone service for business is a massive business. Even better is that this one is timeless in that it could represent old copper wire phonelines, VOIP, or whatever is coming next.

TravailADistance // dot // com
The literal translation in French means work from a distance. But the term is actually what is used for "Work From Home", essentially one of the biggest work trends there is at the moment. What's great about this is that working from home still requires a lot of specialised services/software, both for actually getting work done, but also for corporations to track the hours and make sure their workers are putting in the hours. I think it's a strong enough term to be worth grabbing in French.

BoiteDeNuit // dot // com
Again another French term where the literal translation (Night Box) doesn't make much sense. But "Boite De Nuit" is the exact term most commonly used for "Night Club". Another huge industry with tons of money floating around. It's actually a huge keyword and certainly worth grabbing in French!

lol .. I don't usually post that info publicly here in case a potential buyer sees I got a domain cheap. You also need to factor in the fact that I spend a couple hours a night going through the lists .. that in itself is a cost. But there are regularly names like this which slip through the cracks of auction .. even slipping through closeout to $5. I've got too many names to manage at this point, so I'm sharing and posting lots of similar goodies in my daily lists. I used to hold back about 25% of names on my personal list from the lists I share .. but that number is down below 5%. I deliberately list some domains of interest that might not necessarily be worth grabbing (in my opinion), but you'll definitely find some gems with zero bids in there each day .. check it out if you haven't already!
If you want to know the exact price I paid for Red Hexagon, feel free to PM me!

WeCostLess // dot // com
Amazing marketing domain!

MJBNB // dot // com
Marijuana Bed and Breakfast ... because if they don't exist already .. they definitely will!

Yvata // dot // com
Amazing pronounceable 5L that feels like a female and techie name at the same time (rhymes with Data). So has benefits of that .. while also being unique!

A1Renovation // dot // com
Similar to A1Offices I posted above ... "A1" puts it at the top of just about every alphabetical listing. Plus while there is a number in it .. everyone always knows it's A1 and not AOne .. so it definitely passes the radio test as well! Add to that the fact that the renovation industry is absolutely monster huge .. all together makes for a great domain!

GotDoob // dot // com
I love this one as cannabis legalisation continues to spread (only a few months to go here in Canada). I see this as a fun marketing domain similar to GotMilk!

MafiaCouture // dot // com
Fashion is likely one of the few industries where the "Mafia" keyword is usable. I think this makes for a great brand in that industry where branding is pretty much everything!

I think I dropped this one long ago Maybe it's too generic.

GuruCampus // dot // com
Really like this one as an online learning brand. Not only do the words flow perfectly, but both words are very on topic!

MonthlyGadget // dot // com
With subscription based services growing exponentially in recent years, this one is really a no brainer. A subscription service that sends you the latest tech gadget each month. Big potential for this one!

I think I dropped this one long ago Maybe it's too generic.

I could understand that for most .. but I actually DJ'ed and managed clubs many many years ago .. I had what was the biggest DJ / Club Music community in the world around the turn of the Millennium .. I've still stepped in to help out a couple of friends in the industry over the years .. and I'm in Montreal .. combine all that and it was almost a personal buy for me!

DiscreetHookup // dot // com
Really really like this one as for lead generation for dating/adult websites!

Yiggu // dot // com
Another really nice pronounceable 5L with strong phonetic attributes!

Oh @Ategy.com - you going down my path? Quite a lot of short brandables lately

Lately I got:

M / I / G / O / L / A // dot // com

N / E / O / T / E / C / N / I / A // dot // com - yes - I like "neo" names .. and they sell like crazy - just turned down $2K for one

S / A / V / A / G / E / Z / O / N / E // dot // com - Like this one a lot - sounds really good

P / R / O / F / Y / S / I / O - for fysio

R / I / C / E / C / U / L / T / U / R / E // dot // com - mmmm... Oriental restaurant?

...and more but I'm too lazy

 

[namerav]

Micro Vallet dot com - I think it's good brandable

 

[Ategy]

ChainContext // dot // com
I really like this for it's open ended and generic nature for crypto / blockchain. I can't say I'm a huge fan of domains with specific coin names because the "trendy" nature of most coins will mean most will likely fade in time ... while I think the actual "blockchain" technology will stick it out. So grabbing a "Chain" name with alliteration and context (see what I did there? lol) is a good grab in my mind!

FieryPepper // dot // com
Great name for pretty much anything food related. But it could also definitely work as a fun generic brandable (with a simple but memorable logo)!

Oh @Ategy.com - you going down my path? Quite a lot of short brandables lately

Actually .. I've always kept a balance of short brandables in my portfolio .. mostly pronounceable 5L .. but sometimes others if I really REALLY like them!

TheSafety // dot // Net
I'm not too into domain hacks .. but I do love the term "Safety Net" and there's a ton of $$$ in online security .. plus this one could even work for offline security as well.

PowerPlayMedia // dot // com
Another great media name .. can't really pass on those!

FederalBusinessCenter // dot // com
Total no-brainer again here. It may be 3 words .. but it's a colossally powerful brand!

 

[DrJacoby]

PowerPlayMedia // dot // com

That's a great name (ice hockey)! I intended to bid on it, but it got too expensive.

Have you sold any of all those media domain names you have hoarded?

CasiCoin // dot // com
The absolute perfect synergistic name for a gambling/casino crypto-currency! Two of the hottest markets right now that actually DO come together for big $$$$$!

Cloudster // dot // net
I don't like .net as a generic .. but I think it's still far and away the best name for tech. Then you have a great cloud related brandable like Cloudster and it's a great combination I'm very happy with given that cloud services are exploding and will only get hotter for years to come!


@DrJacoby .. sent you a DM

ViralSmart // dot // com
Two monster keywords that work perfectly together to create an amazing digital media brand name!

CreativityCorps // dot // com
Content creation is the future. Creative content generators will be the Elvis's and Madonna's of the future!

UpgradeYourKitchen // dot // com
UpgradeYourBathroom // dot // com
Two great call-to-action marketing domains in the monster renovation industry!

SnipeMarketing // dot // com
Another really good media/marketing name for my portfolio!
