    My bet is for inspection.com, it will be sold with a ready-to-operate web business built by Left of the Dot Media. The brand and sale includes a collection of names for the $2B+ Home & Commercial Inspection industry, including Inspection.com and 88 other inspection-related domain names that will enable the buyer to create the industry’s dominant lead generation network.

  5. Tier 1 Development says

    Best name by far is Security.com, which if it goes for $1M it’s a steal. I would actually expect that CA shareholders might object to it, if it gets publicized.

    It’s such a waste that a software company that produces security products hasn’t done anything with this name for years. The sale of Platinum.com I get, but not this domain.

    So that’s my pick. If the reserve is $1M any of CA’s competitors or even SalesForce (granted it is a departure from their core service) would be foolish not to snap it up.

  10. JamesD says

    BTW Mike, what’s the prize for guessing right? Can the winner choose any domain from your inventory, or do we have to settle for just a smug feeling?

  13. Michael H. Berkens says

    James

    Well

    1st its not my inventory (actually I don’t have any domains in this auction)

    2nd I don’t work for Oversee and don’t get any commission on any sales.

    3rd the prize is equal to the cost of entry x2

  17. @Domains says

    I voted for EO, 12, and ECO.

    There are a lot of great names on the list, I won’t be surprised to see names sell for $100k to $200k. What I’m really watching is how many will sell for $500K+.

  21. Brad Miller says

    empire.com is going to appeal to a lot of guys in that room with that kind of cash, I would love to have that name (and that kind of cash, hehe)

    sensibly, I like qr.com and security.com to sell. So I will go with those three. Security.com is a beast.

    Personally, I like servers.com too. I just hand reg’d a couple server related names – a combo package, one brandable, one for keyword search, LTOservers.com and leasetoownservers.com – I think this segment of the market is going to pick up bigtime.

  22. Tom says

    These ones look like bargain reserves:

    Democracy.com
    qr.com
    servers.com

    Most of the others look to be in “retail” range and could very-well be worth the price but this crowd is mostly a wholesale group, no?

  23. Edwin Hayward says

    I don’t think any of them will sell genuinely “live” i.e. some may well sell afterwards with a bit of horse-trading, but none will sell at those reserves in the room at auction time.

  27. Anunt says

    None of these domains will sell during the auction…but deals will be made for much lower prices after the auction closes!!!

    Good Luck!!!

  29. Kevin says

    I don’t see any of these selling at the live auction, but perhaps later when the prices come down to market reality range.

  30. David J Castello says

    Jackpot.com is definitely worth in that price range, but the days of live auctions are long passed. The biggest deals are now done one-to-one (with either a private seller or broker) to an enduser. There are practically zero endusers at auctions.

  31. SF says

    Yup …you would have thought by now that domain auctions should have evolved past the “domainer to domainer wholesale” concept. Obviously, they have not.

  34. Tom Fowler says

    Need some advice.

    My boss is starting a new division that will introduce buyers and sellers of banks. Big banks buying smaller banks, and as part of what we do, we’ll list those selling banks with whom we have a contract on our site. The banks are all classified as commercial banks, but the search volume for just “banks for sale” is much greater than “commercial banks for sale”.

    My question is this, which of these two domains would make more sense to put a developed site together:

    BanksForSale.info

    or

    CommercialBanksForSale.com

    The same guy owns both these domains and he wants roughly the same price for each. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

  35. Tom Fowler says

    I was mistaken in the message above – the two domains are owned by different people, but the asking price is almost exactly the same ($1200 for the .info and $1000 for the .com)

  37. Mukesh says

    superb names… Host.com
    Servers.com
    Emails.com
    Are superb names which i like to buy if they are in my budget :)…

    Others are also good… 😛

  40. faizan says

    Ofcourse 2 character domains will go beyond 100k. But no cctlds at domainfest? Or there will be sale of cctlds as well at domainfest?

  43. faizan says

    can someone tell me if there is any demand for cctlds at domainfest? I have done some googling but I was unable to find any sales for .de domains in the past..at domainfest.. or am I wrong?

  44. Ben Elza says

    “but the days of live auctions are long passed…..There are practically zero endusers at auctions”

    David, I understand your point about end users attending the auctions in the past , but I really think the game is changing and live auctions will and are coming back very strongly with the evolvement of the internet and the rise of the new TLDs and all the powerful brands in them.

    I think live auctions will be more fun than ever because now after 15 years, companies and organisations are starting to get a much clearer picture about ecommerce and the power of the internet. And I think the reason why there were not enough end users attending auctions was simply becasue , in my oppinion, of the lack of clear marketing startegy by many of these domain sales companies . Live Domains auctions should feel like “Oscar” and “Grammy” awards events where the media attend and write about those ” lucky winners” who won the “Future”

  45. Ben Elza says

    A word of wisdom by Michael Castello in an interview with Simon Johnson from Domainerincome.tv in Oct.2010 (along with David Castello) :
    ” Markets within markets , there will be those who see a top key word name with a new GTLD thats gonna sound like its worth a million bucks”
