Vida.com in private auction at NameJet

[JoshuaPz]

There's a very exciting 210-way battle winding down at NameJet for Vida.com. For the linguistically challenged, vida means "life" in Spanish and has become the resonant keyword of many Spanish songs, perhaps most famously Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca".

The high bid for Vida.com stands at $50,101 with 4 minutes to go, though its been "4 minutes to go" for about 45 minutes already. My original prediction was that the domain would sell for $55,000, but it looks like I undershot the final value given four the bidders are competing seriously for the domain, with others occasionally shooting up from underneath the bid pile. We haven't even wound down to the final two combatants yet!

What do you guys think Vida.com will sell for?

Let this auction attest to Pool.com that an auction's taking place on a weekend impacts its final sell price minimally, if at all.

Estibot appraisal for Vida.com: USD 260,000

Damn, what makes vida worth so much? Is it because of Vida Guerra?

How much did it end, and what alias was the high bid?

 

[JoshuaPz]

Vida.com now stands at $67,438, and there's still no end in sight! The four folks are aggressively sparring for the gem:

* gridix
* tree
* ididwhat
* ccarter3

You make a great point in that this is a really interesting opportunity to watch some of the deepest-pocketed bidders on NJ flex their muscles. Could one of these folks be Rick Latona or Frank Schilling?

That seems like a pretty good price for this one, if I had $71,000 burning a hole in my pocket, the final price might have been a bit higher. :hehe:

About 270 "vida" trademarks at the USPTO. Unless they own one of them, good luck.
