Next NamePros Live Auction Event

[RJ]

May 24th, 2 PM PDT / 5 PM EDT / 9 PM GMT

We'll be trying a few new things, such as option to have reserves and allowing bidders to pre-bid. This should attract better quality names and allow us to auction off more names each event.

You can add your names now at

I think the pre-bidding was a great plan, I think it will
help the auction move along with more opportunities
for more sales.

Plus it's fun to watch

an hour to go!

The pre-bids are just to allow people to bid before hand - and possibly if they cant make the auction. It is not the actual auction That Happens in 48 minutes.

Yea i know .. we were talking about how pre-bids helped alot .. even without starting the actual bidding.

The auction order will be finalized 30 minutes before the event time. 5 minutes from now.

We made it! Please post your feedback on if you like the new changes, and what you would suggest to make things run better for the future.

I'll announce the date for the next live auction on Monday!

I think it was great. I really liked the pre-bid feature. I think it should always stay. I think the auctions should be in NP$ or mandatory to accept NP$ though only because if it wasn't it would make NP$ lose their value.

 

[champ_rock]

ya i agree that auctions should be in np$ .

the seller however should accept paypal @ 0.02.

 

[Mattias]

this isnt so friendly

They spend hours doing the auction while all the auction quire script is all custom made... why shouldn't they get something in return?

 

[Makis.TV]

Fewski, they could get a percentage from the sale.
That way you dont loose money if you dont get a deal.

Not trying to be greedy or unfriendly. The list fee helps curb the demand for queue spots. We didn't have a list fee for the first two years we did the live auctions, and it got to the point where it was close to impossible to get a queue spot unless you acted within the first 30 seconds it was open. Also, the quality of names being submitted wasn't as good.

Date for next live auction will be announced later today!
