.us The 200 NNN.US on TDNam are now buy-now for $150 each

[Cronus]

Those 200+ NNN.us which were redeemed have apparently been listed as $150 buy-it-now on TDNam. We're talking 20% of the entire NNN space currently available to buy (more than that when you exclude the reserved numbers). I picked up my telephone area code .us, and then bought a few other nice ones as well. Here are the 200 numbers still available for instant $150 purchase when I checked a few hours ago:

204 205 207 208 218 219 227 228 229 231 242 246 248 251 252 254 260 262 264 268 269 270 276 278 283 284 289 301 304 306 307 308 313 318 319 323 331 334 335 336 337 339 341 352 369 380 385 386 401 402 403 405 406 407 408 409 412 413 414 416 417 418 419 423 424 430 434 435 438 440 441 442 445 450 464 470 473 475 478 479 484 502 504 506 507 509 510 514 515 517 518 519 533 551 557 563 564 573 574 585 586 601 602 603 604 605 606 608 610 612 615 616 618 619 620 626 627 628 630 641 646 647 656 657 659 662 664 667 669 671 679 682 684 701 702 703 704 705 706 708 709 710 712 714 715 716 717 719 731 734 737 752 754 758 760 763 764 767 773 774 778 780 784 785 901 902 903 904 905 906 907 908 910 912 913 914 915 916 917 918 919 920 925 928 931 932 935 936 937 939 940 947 949 951 952 956 959 975 984 985

very fishy

 

[Cronus]

I just checked and there are now 192 NNN.us left for $150 each on TDNam:

204 205 207 208 218 219 227 228 229 231 242 246 248 251 252 254 260 262 264 268 269 270 276 278 283 284 289 301 304 306 307 308 313 318 319 331 334 335 336 337 339 341 352 369 380 385 386 401 402 403 405 406 407 409 412 413 414 416 417 418 419 423 424 430 434 435 438 440 441 442 445 464 470 473 475 478 479 484 502 504 506 507 509 514 517 518 519 533 551 557 563 564 573 574 585 586 601 602 603 604 605 606 608 610 612 615 616 618 619 620 626 627 628 630 641 646 647 656 657 659 662 664 667 669 671 679 682 684 701 702 703 704 705 706 708 709 710 712 714 715 716 717 719 731 734 737 752 754 758 760 763 764 767 774 778 780 784 785 901 902 903 904 905 906 907 908 910 912 913 914 915 917 918 919 920 925 928 931 932 935 936 937 939 940 947 951 952 956 959 975 984 985

 

[paxton]

very fishy

It's legit. I just bought one from TDNAM and the seller, Ives, sent me an email confirming transfer information.

Perhaps he figured that he wouldn't be able to hold on to them for much longer, so he might as well sell them before they get taken away.

 

[Cronus]

The following 18 sold in the last 12 hours:

336 352 369 386 407 413 470 504 602 619 620 702 703 754 904 917 919 928

I wasn't surprised to see 602 sell at $150 quickly, since the bid was over $190 when the cancelled auction ended. The following 174 remain for sale - how long do you think they'll last?

204 205 207 208 218 219 227 228 229 231 242 246 248 251 252 254 260 262 264 268 269 270 276 278 283 284 289 301 304 306 307 308 313 318 319 331 334 335 337 339 341 380 385 401 402 403 405 406 409 412 414 416 417 418 419 423 424 430 434 435 438 440 441 442 445 464 473 475 478 479 484 502 506 507 509 514 517 518 519 533 551 557 563 564 573 574 585 586 601 603 604 605 606 608 610 612 615 616 618 626 627 628 630 641 646 647 656 657 659 662 664 667 669 671 679 682 684 701 704 705 706 708 709 710 712 714 715 716 717 719 731 734 737 752 758 760 763 764 767 774 778 780 784 785 901 902 903 905 906 907 908 910 912 913 914 915 918 920 925 931 932 935 936 937 939 940 947 951 952 956 959 975 984 985

 

[Lasher]

I just took 4 out of the list. Will post what they are when transfer is completed.

 

[airwav]

If this fellow is in fact nexus non-compliant, from my understanding, if you purchase a domain it will be deleted. :td:

Would be very careful here.

Yes, that's why I'm staying away from these.

But if you're willing to take a risk, go grab 337.us. It's perfect for 1.337.us :p

 

[irishmat]

if you really think this is an issue why not put a backorder in place for the names you buy off him

names deleted by neustar go straight to delete not passing through pending delete and all that so your backorder would get it

LOL...I had tons of backorders on these domains
A backorder will not pick up these domains when they are deleted from the registery, it only picks up expired.

Official Statement

Hi there,

I thank you all for your interest in my 200+ nnn.us domains. I can confirm that my company has been registered in Delaware in 2002 as an LLC. We are fully Nexus compliant. You do not risk anything other than be late in buying a domain name you'd like to own.

I registered all the domains in 2002 at the ".us" land rush via a couple of Registrars such as Namescout and others. I moved all my domains to GoDaddy because of their good prices and perfect support.

All the best,

Ives Leutenegger

 

[tristanperry]

Hey Ives Leutenegger,
Wow, welcome to NP So there's no risk to any of these names? That's good to hear

Out of curiosity, how come you're selling your NNN.us portfolio now?

Why did you let these domains go into expiration?

Additional Explenation

Hi,

Thank you for the welcome message. As you all might have recognized already, these nnn.us domains are all area-codes. I registered them in 2002 for a project. Time has passed and I came to the conclusion that I do no longer need them, because I changed my focus.

So I let them go. Fortunately because of some buyers contacted me to get the names by paying the fee for redemption and a long conversation with my Account Executive I decided to pull them our of redemption and list them for auction.

If you identify the potential and value for .US area code domain names please use the "buy now" feature at TDnam.com.

I have 34 additional nnn.us domains not yet listed at TDnam.com I might sell at a later point. This includes 500.us and others. Those 34 I have renewed within the regular timeframe for renewal.

I hope I have answered all questions!

Best regards,

Ives

P.S.: Thank you for your interest!

 

[paxton]

Welcome to the board, Ives. And thank you for your explanations above. ^^

I just grabbed two more from the list.

Cheers.

 

[homebuyer]

Me, too.

I grabbed two of these .us domains last hour. It's 4:48 A.M. in Switzerland. (7:49 P.M. in California, my time). I'll probably find these two domains in my account in the morning. I feel like I did on many a Christmas Eve when I was a little kid. If only I had saved those comic books that Santa gave me.

For those of you skeptics, visit:

https://sos-res.state.de.us/tin/GINameSearch.jsp

and type in ATHOME SWITZERLAND LLC . Also, their whois shows Administrative Contact Nexus Category: C21. Appparently, Neustar approved them so I don't think any sale here is at risk.

Change of account for the next 24 domain names initiated

Hi,

It's 07:34 here in Switzerland. I just advised my Account Executive Manager at GoDaddy to change account of the next 24 nnn.us domain names that have been sold in the past couple of hours. Because GoDaddy is located in Arizona it will take at least the next 8-9 hours until they are in the office.

I also have to say that the domain names go very quick. So in your interest don't be late. Grab them as early as possible.

Thank you all very much!

Best regards,

Ives

 

[homebuyer]

Done

Thanks for the two domains, 925.us and 405.us. They are in my account now as promised.

The 925 is my area code. I bought it just because it is easy to remember and short. The other domain, 405.us, is for a long term project. I plan to build houses along US Interstate 405, which is one of the main arteries in California. The billboard along the 405 will have 405.us listed as the contact website.

I plan to target the tens of thousands of motorists who regularly drive the 405 everyday. The domain should be easy to remember, especially when they are stuck in 1 MPH traffic and have to stare at my billboard as they beat on the steering wheel wishing they were at their exit.

New buyers should click on their new .us domain in their godaddy account and update their "Nexus Agreements" link. The seller's Nexus Agreement (business) may have been inadvertently transferred to the new buyer.

Since my post on Wednesday, 51 more have sold:

207 208 227 242 246 252 262 301 307 313 335 385 401 403 405 406 412 414 424 434 435 445 475 502 518 585 603 605 610 615 626 630 646 667 701 714 715 716 719 737 767 778 785 901 907 914 915 925 935 940 975

That leaves 123 remaining for sale at $150 each:

204 205 218 219 228 229 231 248 251 254 260 264 268 269 270 276 278 283 284 289 304 306 308 318 319 331 334 337 339 341 380 402 409 416 417 418 419 423 430 438 440 441 442 464 473 478 479 484 506 507 509 514 517 519 533 551 557 563 564 573 574 586 601 604 606 608 612 616 618 627 628 641 647 656 657 659 662 664 669 671 679 682 684 704 705 706 708 709 710 712 717 731 734 752 758 760 763 764 774 780 784 902 903 905 906 908 910 912 913 918 920 931 932 936 937 939 947 951 952 956 959 984 985

I have now purchased a total of six. I found the Wikipedia area code list to be a handy reference.

 

[paxton]

I just bought two more myself. =)
