We will see how many of these make it into the live auction.
What are you favorites from the master list??
Great names as usual…
The to be determined variable is the reserves on the names.
Everyone knows there is a slowdown in PPC. Are domain investors going to buy these names for top dollar to sit on and maybe develop, maybe PPC recovers, maybe an end user comes with an offer?
Some of these names have been in previous auctions and did not sell. I do not believe for one second that the serious investor just “missed” the opportunity at these other auctions.
These reserves on the names are TOO HIGH and in order for this not to be another PASS auction Moniker needs to get domain sellers expectations and reserves inline with REALITY.
Another interesting thing is Frank Schilling has listed movierentals.com…that name is a 1st time listing and should be interesting.
phoneaccesories.com
is a typo … someone at Moniker should double check this
I have several names listed at no reserve that were accepted:
cleaning.com (includes website)
ancientart.com
clinicalpsychology.com
petkennel.com
commonstock.com
selfmotivation.com
freeteenchatrooms.com
It’s a bit more risky to list your names at no reserve but I believe the potential reward is greater than setting a very low reserve. I guess we’ll find out.
Alan
I will drop Monte a note.
Steven
Some of the domains are high but there are plenty of good names with low reserve, just look at Mike’s comment
Mike
Nice names at no reserve. Hopefully many of them make the live list.
I have seen no reserve names go into the 25-50K+ range many times, while people setting there reserve at $25K-50K wind up with a pass.
Keep in touch and lets us know how you do.
I agree about the importance of realistic reserves. The following music names will be auctioned off with zero reserve:
Sax.com
Trumpet.com
Clarinet.com
MusicStudio.com (with developed site which will be up in a few days)
I think this will be a great auction. It is my hope that these zero reserve submissions will start a new trend in the domain auction industry.
Can someone with some experience say about what portion of that tentative list actually makes it to auction, and then what portion of them get sold? Just curious.
The reason I ask is b/c there’s names like “sharpteeth.com” listed with reserve of $100,001-$250,000. Is it just me who thinks that’s an unrealistic expectation?
5% sell. Of 2500 names – 125 will sell.
There are some nice domain names listed there – let’s see which one will sell for how mush $$$$$
David
About 250 of the 2100 names will make the live auction.
Mike
You are taking alot of risks with cleaning.com, but am sure its likely to make it to the live auction. Great name with loads of potential.
Kevin
If you get the smartest and well off domainers in a room and put cleaning up for sale at no reserve don’t you think the room will set the fair market price?
Cant say that I am very pleased after reviewing the list, I think their automated system and communciation sucks and I am glad to see some new competition. I submitted:
LowRateMortgage.com
MichiganHouses.com
RefinanceGuide.com
JumboLoanGuide.com
RealEstateMogul.com
FinancingHouses.com
MarketingHouses.com
NeighborhoodHomeLoans.com
none of which made the auction list, so I am quite pissed with their system
MHB,
That’s one way of looking at it. There is fair market price and then there is highest possible price. The live auction will have some of the biggest spenders in the industry, but at the same time, they may not be the perfect target market for such a wonderful domain name, where development is concerned.
Don
what reserve did you have on MichiganHouses.com for example?
Glad to see no reserve auctions…
Auction will be exciting
Best of luck to all buyers and sellers
Now I know why I kept hearing a noise that sounded a lot like “Hmmmmmm” – echoing in the ethers of cyberspace. 😉
“Sax.com? No reserve? Hmmmm . . . “
I think some of the .tv names are very interesting. Especially Democrat.tv and Republican.tv with all the millions being spent on TV commercials and the elections being around the corner. (Full disclosure: I own those 🙂
Some of my domains listed are
BuyLuxuryVillas.com
TarotCardGames.com
mhb – 3500
5 names under 1k
they stiffed me at the geo auction as well, the worst part is they dont even acknowledge making a mistake and I waited 2 months to find out none of my names would be in the auction, like I said, glad there are some new auction alternatives
our MrTV.com may be there-among in ‘the list
although …. MrTV’s not come out with n’o-reserve ,
but …..
MrTV ‘does with the reserve of only U$D 822 approximatly
some backsground : :::::
: :
.1. traffics : : 3xx – 1xxx monthly
.2. earning : : EURO 3.xx – almost EURO 20.xx monthly

all stats ‘r for these 12 months ,
all stats ‘r released by Sedo
we have seriously considerred to offer MrTV with n’o-reserve ,
but ,
since …. we’r securing some real traffics + $$ from it ,

…..

Don

end-users

MHB – I followed up with them so you may be right
I also realize sorting through hundreds of thousands of entries is not an easy task.
Looking forward to the auctions
Don
Glad to hear it.
Keep us updated
Interested to see that Frank Schilling is auctioning off MovieRentals.com. I remember he paid $100K for that name on Snapnames.com a few years back.
