My domain originally registered in 1999 (www.cidermills.com) was accepted into this Moniker Live auction. The sale also includes the web site. Currently this earns around $1000 in annual advertising revenue. This also has much more potential to earn more. Reserve is only $5000.

Warm Regards,

Terrance
Owner, CiderMills.com

We are making categories available on the download excel file shortly. in the near future this search feature will be available on SnapNames as well…but if you have it on the download, you can easily sort then enter the domains you want to bid on.

We will be back to update the improvements when they are going to happen.

Monte, will the SnapNames interface have categories in time for this auction? That would make it easier for people to sift through the 5,000 silent auction names to find the ones that interest them.

This is by far the best quality, best priced list of domains that I have seen since we started the online and live auction segment in 1999. The reason the extended auction list is so large is because there were so many good quality names submitted at the right prices to drive interest.

I predict that the extended auction will be as big or bigger than the live auctions in the very near future. DomainFest extended auction results were almost that of the Live event making the whole event successful. I foresee the same here.

The live list is filled with very good domains priced right to drive interest and bidding. Like you said Andrew, we are not looking to set a total sales record here and adjusted our strategy to provide the right names at the right prices in this economy!

there should be a ton of action during both the online live and extended auctions from those not attending the conference.

Thank you for the positive feedback!

I agree! Great domains for this auction! Living in LA, I really like moviemaking.com – it’s a bargain for the price advertised.

I’ll see you all at the auction!

“These are all in the auction at no reserve.”

KD, you are part of the problem with auctions, flooding the list with domains that have very little value.
The few I checked are less than 6 months old.

And, Moniker is also careless to permit someone to flood the list. Why doesn’t Moniker have a limit on how many domains someone can submit?
