I bought LONG.LY after seen some auctions on flippa with .ly hacks like that sold at xxx/xxxx
Now I hope that some big viagra-like company come up with my same idea...

 

[fravarese]

I put long.ly on auction.. on flippa because i saw those big last .ly sales there...
but I think that with only the base 9 $ fee it will not get any attention at all...
Can you give me an opinion whether or not for this particular domain should I buy their premium listing?
Thanks!

please can anyone give me advices on this long.ly auction ? At the moment got only 3 watchers and the auction is going to end in 5 days.. I'm not going to buy the flippa premium listing without any advice from you guys.. I think i'm gonna set an higher reserve price to cover it in case only 3 people notice the auction and make low offers..

@amirp

By stating this, wouldn't it mean there is a market for it? It's the matter of how much demand there is for it.

Hey @fravarese - You're really going to have to buckle down and do research on prospective buyers & market the hell out of this auction as quickly as possible. To be perfectly honest, the only marketing strategy I can think of that has a slight chance at succeeding would be to reach out to companies that have the word "long" somewhere in their existing .com domain name (or company name - use common sense), and to play the "vanity social media shortening URL" angle. Unfortunately, even that is probably a long shot, if I'm being realistic.

That said, don't let me discourage you. Where there's a will, there's usually a way (unfortunately, you're running out of time). You have to put in the time marketing your auction: Start doing research now and begin reaching out to prospective buyers that you've targeted to let them know the domain is up for auction. Best of luck!

Only a very small market. loans.ly or insurance.ly maybe worth something. Most are not.

It's a small niche market, no doubt. That said, they require a bit more TLC when doing that pre acquisition due diligence.

Look at past .ly sales & trends at dnpric.es. Many more Park.io transactions going to auction. Less common are the $99 transactions (when only back ordered by one user hence no auction). Changes are small, but there is more than likely a correlations. Just my personal take.

Moreover I'd argue that the market for .ly domains is bolstered by recent push by Flippa to cement their status as a real player I'm this space. Kudos to Kevin Fink and all involved, it's been interesting to watch.

And, Park.io has been getting some solid coverage as a reliable .ly backorder service for these domains, in addition to .io, .me and the recently added .to. As competition heats up for auctions there, and the names in turn become more visible to the domaining community, competition increases and affects the overall market accordingly -- however minute I'm this instance (more competition at acquisition stage cause selling point to rise at least somewhat).

As always, just my two cents.

Have a list of 1000+ .ly domain names that dropped to be registered at the discount price. PM for more info.
