Sedo to Hold Numeric Domain Name Auction
Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Auction to feature domain names with numbers only.
Domain aftermarket Sedo will hold a domain name auction November 27 through December 4 featuring domain names consisting only of numbers.
Some of the popular domain names in the auction will likely be phone number area codes and popular zip codes. Examples of domain names Sedo will consider for the auction are:
-two-to-three-numbered term with a .com or .net extension
-four-numbered term with appeal (5000.com, 2009.com, 7777.com, etc
-five-numbered .com with relevant appeal (zip code, 10000.com, etc.)
-reserve price for the domain is reasonable
To submit names send an email to Matthew Rosebrook at Matt.Rosebrook [at] sedo.com.
