Aftermarket.com Traffic Down Under Auction Underway

Live auction kicks off online today, live next week.

The Aftermarket.com live auction at the Traffic Down Under conference in Australia has begun. Domains are finalized and bidding is now available on the Aftermarket.com site.

Lots will begin closing when the on-site auction in Australia begins on November 20th and 8:30 a.m. local time. That’s 5:30 PM EST on November 19. Aftermarket.com is offering a text message reminder service to notify you when the auction begins. Reminders about the auction will be sent to those signed up for SMS alerts available in the DomainTools Members area.

Overall the list of domain names looks good. True to its word, the Aftermarket.com auction is full of low and no reserve domain names. No domains names have reserves above $50,000, and only 7 are priced above $10,000.

Here are some of the domains that look promising to me:

ImageViewer.com – $1,500 – OK, so part of my interest in this one is that I own it. But consider this: it has a Google page rank of 4, was registered way back in 1997, and there are about 5.5 million results for the term “image viewer” in quotes on Google. Hmmm, perhaps I shouldn’t have put this in the auction…

IUS.com – $25,000 – a very good three character domain with plenty of acronyms

Camera.co.uk – $15,000 – At this price this is a no-brainer, assuming either a savvy investor or a Brit is up when the auction begins.

Migrant.com – $3,500 – multiple uses beyond the common dictionary term

NewTLD.com – $1,800 – this one should be interesting with the release of new TLDs

Income.info – $0 – no reserve? Look for multiple bids

Heldover.com – $0 – another obvious sale

    I really think the list is poor… to be quite honest.

    There are not many “bullseye” doamins. There are tons of brandables and words with multiple meanings or vague definitions, or just plain poor like ThisDay,com (with a $24,000 reserve), or even LastYear,com.

    It makes no sense to me.

    Johnny. What exactly are Bullseyes?
    LastYear.com at $350? duh. Give me all your 2 word phrase brandables with multiple meanings for $350. I’ll buy ‘em all up. The more meanings the better.
    ThisDay.com is a traffic name, clearly.

    Lots of bullseyes.
    Obviously these top ones :
    saws.com, camera.co.uk,medicinas.com,sellos.com . . .and lower tier prices of imageviewer, bikerims, houserefi, hungercontrol,digitalvideos, accenttables

    Not to mention here’s tons of great .com.au in the list too. . . how much more bullseye can a one word ccTLD be ?

    If it makes no sense to you . . . maybe your idea of sense is skewed ?

    Camera.co.uk – Is a great investment if you can snap that up for $25 – 30K would be a great asset to own.

    VOIPSERVICE.COM — may be a great pickup for somebody @ 30k… has lots of potential.

    Johnny – as with any list, there are always some names that you won’t agree with. I don’t expect this auction to generate lots of revenue, but I suspect the sell through rate will be strong.

    [...] first auction is organized by Aftermarket.com and starts at 5:30. I previewed that auction last week. Online bidding started early and already a number of domains have received [...]

    What a farce, software problems, some boring American trying to make unfunny jokes, and online bidders being ignored so house bidders score the winning bid. With the so called technological expertise amongst this group these problems should not exist.
