There will be bids on the final day.

The next auction could be massive with 'Bets dot com' up for sale.

I look to the last few hours before this really starts.
No-one wants to show interest and expose their hand.

This is why they should establish anti-sniping end-time extensions.

You're absolutely right Marc. Without making the changes you mentioned, there is no reason to have a silent auction last for seven days or longer. (Especially when there is no marketing campaign to create awareness in the first place.)

Closes on Wednesday when CAC Macao starts, just 24 hours away- one door closes another one slams shut :? Hope not - but not very encouraging - fingers crossed for us and Geo/Moniker.

I see that Moniker have been noticeable on the forum by their absence :? - not the right approach for customer relations. :imho:

if you missed the article from Ron...

http://www.dnjournal.com/articles/events/geodomain-expo-2007.htm

I think definitely a good handful of names will sell at the last minute of course, liked the following point he made...

"My take on the auction was that this particular crowd is going to be interested in only the very best geo domains - for example a name like Perth.com, that did sell for $200,000. Associated Cities members hold some of the most valuable geo domain real estate in the world - the exact names of well-known cities. Few of them are interested in anything less because their sole interest is in building one, or perhaps a handful, of full blown businesses on true blue chip domains.

That is not to say that multiple word domains, like NewYorkMortgageRates.com aren't decent domains that would be useful to the right buyer - just that someone who owns NewYorkCity.com has little need to buy up every domain that describes a product or service related to their city. They already have the core name from which everything can be sold. The more specific names can be useful in driving traffic to the main site but there are an almost infinite number of permutations, so most core .com city owners are not interested in starting down that road.

I would guess that buyers of multi-word geo names and alternate extensions to .com will probably have to come from a broader pool of potential customers than the highly focused group at the GeoDomain Expo. If the second tier names are to sell in quantity in conjunction with this event, I think it will be necessary to woo off-site buyers who are interested in working these smaller service or product specific niches within the geo space."

The CAC Macao has now been extended from two days from 27/28 originally, up to 6th December ( unless that was the original finish date?) so I think more problems with lack of bidders are anticipated. :imho:

Note to self:

Do not expect good prices for auctioned domains in the Christmas season.

 

[domainsource]

any update ?

 

[DNabc]

Christmas time affects many markets, like hosting sales. Maybe it affects hugh ticket domains too... although markets are really different...

Geo Silent Auction Bidding Update

no bids in the silent yet. i just checked. all GEO names end in 6 - 8 hours. i will be checking a few times each hour and will post bids as soon as I see any.

Thanks abc. In the last auction my biggest selling domain for xx,xxx did not get a single bid until the last few minutes before close.

My guess is that things will be slow as usual until the last few minutes... which gets back to that anti-sniping thing.

Good luck everybody in the last few hours/minutes!

Hello.

Some end in 4 hours. Why the difference in end times for the same auction?

Thanks in advance.

 

[abcproductions]

they stagger the end times slightly. the first auctions will close around 5PM EST with the last ones closing around 9PM EST.
