You could get the price paid for all these domains with just one deal on a developed site.
Just like the rest of the economy, the days of frivilious spending on domains are defintely gone.
It is very clear those prices are “domainer to domainer” prices.
Plus, many are very low compared to their potential.
When will the marketing people at oversee.net come to their senses and quit using the title Low/No reserve auctions ?? Anyone with any marketing savvy knows that the image you present attracts those bidders who fit the title of the auction !
Low/no reserve sets the expectations and energy of the auction. Low/ No Reserve auctions produce Low or No valuations. Please someone stop this practice. It is putting domain name values in the ditch! Please consult a marketing firm expert if you don’t believe me.
I like the low/no reserve auctions, and I think it increases the number of people watching/participating in the auction, because people know domains will actually sell.
These auctions aren’t intended for end users.
Creeps.com for $4000 is a good deal. Plenty of them around…
I remember a few years ago watching Decay.com go for $2900 at Afternic. The auction was posted on the main page for a week and nobody placed another bid. I foolishly didn’t either, and then the buyer resold the domain for $12K, I think at a Traffic auction.
I recently got HairLossClinic.com for $600 from Rick Latona’s email offers. Wouldn’t sell it for less than 5 figures. Bad economy or not, still good opportunities in the domain biz!
Most of these domains are not that good. It kind of makes it a boring auction…IMO.
I find that the people that say the domains on an auction list are not that good are not bidders at any auctions.
Roachbait.com for $400 is a pretty darn good deal imo.
I think that was a respectable total in this economy…60% sold…if that transfers to the rest it will be super
What a great business model: book plenty of domains for years, and sell one for 500$ 10 years later.
Just LOL!
Some great values there: SpearGuns . . . Bikes . . . Creeps . . . KayakRentals . . . FireStations.
