It’s been a couple of weeks since we wrote about the results of NameJet.com auctions so we thought we would catch up with some sales so far in March.
So far a Frank Schilling purchase leads the way
WhiteRock.com sold for $11,388 to Name Administration.
It probably won’t surprise you to find out that White Rock it a city in British Columbia Canada.
The 2nd highest sale that we have on our radar was autographed.com which sold for $8,700
EuroJet.com which sold for $7,600
VinylSigns.com was grabbed by yours truly for $5,500

VinylSigns best name on this list IMHO. Good buy.
EuroJet.com is a very good name, sold at an incredibly low $7,600 price!
it’s so good that could be used for an airline or business jets company/site
It looks like the Big Boys have come back in 2012.
There are still a lot of domains that go for steals on NameJet but for the most part NameJet is NameJet again.
Here are some of my NameJet steals from the past week:
mouthulcer.com $192
homeletinsurance.com $59
partialdenture.com $79
@Tony,
Those three domains are worthless, not even worth $5 each. You wasted your money.
Im not saying they are amazing but I have a mouth ulcer right now that begs to differ. Too bad the domain doesnt have some great advice from demand media telling me the fastest way to get rid of it and some Related Adsense ads.
@JP,
Try rinsing with salt water four times per day.
Agree with Elliot…
Tony you got sucked!!!
This is what I got:
They were talking about nannyintheclouds.com and I reg nannyinthecloud.com and already making money.
Thank you very much!!
Tony now you’ve got plenty of incentive to prove to the above ignoramuses that they’ll always be hopeless ignoramuses.
White Rock must have meant something special to Frank b/c I have heard Frank say he is not a fan of geo domains.
Itsafail- calling names is one thing but hiding your identity is the lowest of the lowest, so you are a chicken-nausus
MHB-I wish you delete posts where the users do not have the balls to identify themselves-not worthy of our time or publish their IP address.
White Rock is one of the priciest cities outside the Vancouver suburbs, nice beaches, lots of tourist, waterfront, many asian investors are purchasing condos there now. Very well priced geo, homes can sell for upto 10M in that area, usually about 750k- $1M on average.
Most of the names on the list under $2500 seem like good deals. White Rock has some nice ocean front real estate between Vancouver and Seattle, so it’s a quality geo domain.
Good buy on VinylSigns.com…
My NameJet buys this week were:
NewYorkCityDogWalkers.com
SpeedingViolation.com
BiomedicalSupply.com
RaceNights.com
MaritalHelp.com
CounselingCenters.com
Good job with your domains, @ Tony! MouthUlcer has huge searches and low competition.
Congrats on your purchases, @ Elliot. CounselingCenters also has big searches, and medium competition.
I guess the @ Elliot is baiting the commenters, as he also dissed Andrew Rosener’s theStudio.com, saying it was worth $50.00.
Since we’re talking about purchases, I registered one this past April, and I guess the renewal is coming due.
WirelessMirroring.com
I actually had an agreement to purchase Whiterock.com roughly 2 1/2 or more years ago from the former owner. It was owned by a company who may I add had a very nice lawyer on staff who did all she could to help complete the deal.
Long story short I see it was pending so I picked up the phone, we agreed on a price and they actually wanted to hand over the login/pass to save time since it was the only name in the account. I said sure, logged in, went to renew and discovered there was no name in the account now!
I spoke with NS and they claim that regardless of the bill history showing the name was renewed it was never processed or charged back. I said so why doesn;t it show this non process, prove it!
They couldn’t and regardless of complaining right to the top they weren;t changing their stand.
Now is it possible they were telling the truth, sure. However one has to ask themselves this question, when a mamber of Namejets board is also the top guy or one of the one’s at NetSol who made the finally decision on the outcome….conflict of interest, no? They knew damn well that by keeping the name for themselves that THEY ALONE would profit from a sale.
Let’s just say I will NEVER buy a name at NS or NJ again.
As for Frank, I imagine he has a connection, yes 😉
“Anyone who doesn’t know how dirty the domain name business is just doesn’t know the domain name business…” – MA
The idea that there’s any procedural integrity in these systems is a joke.
They’ve been perverted beyond belief, but I don’t know how much one can really blame the people who profit from it. In a way, the entire domain game has always been about trying to cut in line in front of the next guy and securing your role as middle-man.
The domainer puts himself between the domain and the end user.
The drop houses put themselves between the domain and the domainer.
The big-wigs put themselves between the domain and the drop houses.
All the while, ICANN laughs…

And on a lazy Saturday night now that I’m done packing for the ICANN meeting here another take on the domain industry:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/11/opinion/sunday/reclaiming-my-web-address.html?_r=1
@Louise,
That domain sucks, just like all the other crap you continue to hand register. You remind me of a female version of Forrest Gump.
From the article: “Mr. Rowe advised me to hire Go Daddy, an Internet company with a domain-buying service that gets hijacked names back. ”
… and the avalanche of shitty advice begins.
Rule #1 is to not let domains lapse that you care about- so I’m shedding no tears for her- but IMO, deliberate namesquatting has always seemed to be on the darker side of that hazy grey line, especially when it’s a name like Delia Ephron.
Woah great sales.
I was surprised with the low sale price of deep.org and excellence, but hey, thats awesome.
I had not heard of namejet previously, but what a nice interface for a domain market!
Thanks for the book mark!
WhiteRock.com is a steal at that price, even though its just a small tourist town by Surrey, British Columbia..
@ Elliot, Just watch it, and tell me it’s nothing:
