Yikes..

They seem to have started over again for the THIRD time now.. well, this is one way of chasing bids I suppose.

i'm confused - why the countdown until the lot closes if it still shows as open afterwards ??

Scare tactic to make people bid?

 

[Jeff]

It's currently (was) on HUD.us! :yell:

PS. Did TampaCar.com sell ("closed lot")? :blink:

Thanks.

Two of the first 22 sold:
TampaCar $2,000
Grandpa.com $2,900

 

[Jeff]

^ Ah, thanks! :tu:

 

[Spade]

Its pretty apparent, this is not going to be a successful auction at its current rate.. My guess is no more than 25 domains sell. (if things continue)

Congrats, Yofie! :music:

-Jeff

Thank you!

I stick by my "Low Price starting bid" and attract bidders and can create a bidding war.

 

[Jeff]

You created a FRENZY, Yofe! :talk: :kickass:

PS. Some good ones coming up!! :lala:

 

[Spade]

Yah, nice job bud!

 

[MarkP]

10% sell through rate - ouch.

16 domains sold in auction. Currently 2 more with bids after auction.
BuilderLoans.com was the highest sold at $8,000 being bid up $7K.

9 TampaCar.com $2,000
12 Grampa.com $2,900
38 NewHavenHousing.com $1,000
39 PasadenaHousing.com $1,000
40 RichmondHousing.com $1,000
41 MadisonHousing.com $1,000
47 KwanzaaGifts.com $2,500
50 AnaheimHousing.com $1,000
56 BuilderLoans.com $8,000
70 ArlingtonHousing.com $1,000
76 Untrue.com $3,000
88 Fenway.org $1,000
118 92010.com $1,000
152 HeyGoodLooking.com $1,000
164 HivVirus.com $3,500
166 EastTimor.org $900

Total $31,800 (DT's profit $3,180)

After Auction bids

4 Adverting.info $499
75 NationalIdCard.com $3,400

Total $3,899 (DT's profit $380.90) this could be these, but I am not sure when the 10% reduction in price takes place and the 9% selling fee.

I never thought I would hold the highest domain sold.... but I guess I can't say I never had that happen anymore. I would of thought my GenuineGold.com for $1K really would of got bids... 10 yrs old, #2 on google.. For a gold seller, it's a great domain. For the price of gold.... $1K is a Steal..

 

[Brad|E]

Congrats Yofie.

I had anticipated bids on GenuineGold as well and a higher ending price for EastTimor.

 

[gazzip]

Pfft - not much you can say about those auction results......


...apart from Congrats Yofie


So do you guys think this 60 day contract has anything to do with it ?

I think they need to use new methodology to determine what names are to be auctioned and what starting price is necessary. Moniker has the same problem.
