.US Domain Name Auction Off to Strong Start

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Moniker times auction with Independence Day, and it’s off to a great start.

dot-USWhat better domain name topic to write about on July 4 than .us?

Moniker’s .us domain name auction at SnapNames is off to a strong start with 11 of the 86 domain names already receiving bids. The auction runs through July 8. Compared to many recent Moniker auctions, this one would sell a higher percentage of domains even if it closed today.

The main reason for the strong start is a good list of quality inventory. It’s also limited to 86 domains, which makes it easy to sort through.

Here are some of the domains that haven’t received bids yet that I think are good at the price:

DebtConsolidation.us $1,180
Therapists.us $1,180 (fantastic opportunity to create an online therapists directory)
CreditUnions.us $590
Laundromats.us $590 (this is my domain)
SaltWaterPools.us $590 (this is my domain)
AssociateDegrees.us $300
HealthQuotes.us $300

I held off on submitting a few of my city .us domains to the auction, but if anyone is interested in these domains please let me know: Albuquerque.us, SanFrancisco.us, KansasCity.us.

    Therapists.us…..to broad.

    I don’t think it is well defined.

    Hey Andrew….do domains have to be registed at Snapnames to be able to sell them there?

    Tim,

    I have some domains in the auction that are on different registrars, so I guess the answer is no.

    Wow!
    What a fantastic opportunity for someone to create an online directory of the rapists in the us.
    Really?
    Is that what you’re selling here!?

    Thanks Brad. :)

    How do you submit those then because the site says to tranfer your domains to them?

    You have to agree to their strict terms for all names on auction, including names not with Moniker , some say these terms are unreasonable ? , good luck all

    There’s usually a transfer fee if it sells and isn’t yet at Moniker.

    why didn’t you submit your geo .us domains? as i recall sanfrancisco.us sold for $3500
    also does any of your .us geos have a website on them? do they get any legitimite traffic?

    SanFrancisco.us did not sell for $3500.

    Of all the geo cities, SanFrancisco.us gets some traffic, although not much. I didn’t submit them because I have a couple pending offers in on them.
