Moniker Traffic Auction Nets Almost $3 Million

by

The Moniker.com domain auction at the TRAFFIC New York Show just concluded and the sale grossed a total of just under $3 Million.

.me was the darling of the show, with all 11 .me domains selling for between $6,000 and $70,000.

FinancialAid.com was the highest selling domain at $800K, followed by floor.com for $275,000.

Combined with the first night moniker auction, the Rick Latona Auction and the Aftermarket auction, the total sold at the TRAFFIC show was just about $4 Million, showing the continued strength of the domain market compared to the weakness of the overall economy.

    Some of the names sold below published reserves, was Monte reducing their commission on the fly for these to make the sale

    Nice tally

  4. steven says

    Glad to see the domain come back to reality.

    The quality sold!

    The crap did not.

    I only had my eye on 5 names and they all sold.

    Congrats to the buyer of financialaid.com who will make 3-5 times his money within the next 18 months. Fantastic buy!

    Moniker is still king!

    I thought RickLatona.com had some excellent names so the Moniker total blowing them out surprised me.

  7. Elliot says

    All things in the general economy considered, I thought this was a strong showing. Even without the big sale, there were strong names priced right. Congrats to Moniker on a very positive result.

    And happy birthday to you (a few days early).

    43% of the domain sold, which I think is close to a record for a Moniker.com TRAFFIC auction.

    Very good when you consider there were many 7 figure names that we just not going to sell.

    Once again with the success of all the basically zero reserve domains, it shows if you put a low reserve on your domains in that auction you will get a fair price, you have the 500 smartest domainers in the world and they are not going to let a domain like sax.com go for $5K just because it had a low reserve.
    The domain sold for $70K

  13. Domain Value says

    I own the domain 21Club.net and was wondering if anyone knew what it would be worth if I sold it. I think it is a great domain name due to it’s tie in with BlackJack so I built an affiliate site around the name but haven’t been able to monetize it due to the US position against online casinos. I would only let it go if I knew that I could make 20,000 plus. Would this be feasable and how would I go about this?

    Yes .Me are hot!!

    Nice to see some confident investing in the Domain name market, especially with uncertainty within global economy.
    And somewhat ironic that financialaid.com topped the list.

    I think that Date.me was a steal at 70k.
    I also think that Buy.Me, Loan.Me and Rent.Me were unbelievably cheap. (perhaps all those that were interested in Buy.Me, Loan.Me and Rent.Me but missed out, should have visited FinancialAid.com before the auction ;))

    Cheers
    James

    Date.me is real steal MHO
    Also rent.me sold for much cheaper than expected.
    I hope my part.me will get some exposure after this auction. .Me start better than .Asia
