Domain Name Wire Auction is Now Live
Monday, April 19th, 2010
First ever auction runs through April 27.
OK, don’t freak out. I’m not starting to compete with Latona, Sedo, Snap, etc. But I am running a one time auction on the SnapNames platform in conjunction with a number of different bloggers.
Last January I was talking with Craig Snyder of SnapNames and I said, “Hey, why don’t we hold an auction on SnapNames with a bunch of inventory from domain bloggers?”. He liked the idea, so I ran with it. I assembled about 50 domain names primarily from domain bloggers, but also from a few larger portfolio holders. I think you’ll like the end result:
-Domains starting at $99 with no reserve including 2 four letter .com’s registered in 1998, a three letter .net, and a three character .com.
-All of the domains are popular terms, and 80% of them are also registered in an “inferior” TLD (e.g. we’re selling .com, but .net or .org is registered).
-All but two domains priced under $5k, and most under $1k, meaning there’s something for every budget.
-Only about 50 domains, so it’s easy to sort through.
To get bidding going, I put some of my personal domains in at below what I paid for them. It’s a risk, but hopefully they’ll get bid up.
So check out the auction now. Bid early and often.

Not sure what the attraction to
EEV.net is… but congrats so far
Best of luck with the auction.
I hope it goes great for you.

This is needed Andrew. Some domainers still need some domain name auction, a simple one like this.
Good luck,
