Tim Schoon of PEJ.com auctioned off 118 four letter .com domains on 4.CN. The auction ended yesterday, some wondered why Tim auctioned them all off on the same day ? There was a discussion about it on Namepros and Tim gave his rationale.
I held this auction at 4.cn today. There are some very large buyers out there who do not bother bidding on a single domain name, so holding a big auction with many domains can attract other bidders and therefor get higher prices.
There were only two premium LLLL domains at 4.cn yesterday, one of them (DNMN.com) went for only $1057, the same price as my lowest sale today, even though dmnm.com is also a western premium and therefor (in my opinion) of higher quality than the lowest sale today.
Most of the domains that I auctioned today were of better quality than the ‘minimum’ or 5th percentile quality – most of them contain repeating letter patterns or popular acronyms so it’s hard to judge that just based on this auction.
The 5th percentile should be above $1,000 by now anyway, as I have received several bulk offers on any Chips for $1k+

RPanella from LLLLSales.com broke down the sales data:
120 Chinese Premium sales reported from 4.cn so far today are now up on LLLLSales.com:
Minimum Price: $1,056
Maximum Price: $3,625
Average Price: $1,231
Median Price: $1,129
Total Volume: $147,748
89 of the 120 finished between $1050 -$1200, with the rest above $1200.
Seems like the floor remained pretty solid even with the huge temporary increase in supply.
But he still had to be shitting bricks because with 15 minutes left many were still in the few hundred dollar range. They all jumped at the last minute.
very risky but hey, its almost $150k.
Great timing. The week long Chinese holiday (Golden Week) ended last week. By tradition, money is given as gifts so everyone had more cash to spend.
Not all of the domains listed above appear to be Tim’s. Of those that are, plenty were caught at a drop, so acquisition costs are minimal. That’s the only way to make good money and risk auctioning without a reserve: when you paid reg fee or *maybe* $100 a pop.
Do the 4.CN auctions provide escrow? There is an ongoing scam with Chinese buyers at GoDaddy.
And what is the ongoing scam at Godaddy you talk about? All my “Scam” customers have paid for my domain names sold at Godaddy.
Well then, you aren’t affected.
“Golden week” – nice.
Interesting, Japan has a “Golden Week” too:
