Two six figure sales already for domain name auction taking place tonight.
The official live auction for Heritage Auctions’ domain name auction, the first ever domain auction by a major auction house, is tonight in New York City.
But early internet bidding has already guaranteed a couple notable sales.
Animation.com, which I listed on my picks for the auction, has met its reserve with a $95,000 bid. The two letter XZ.com domain name has also met its reserve after receiving a $120,000 bid. Given the buyer’s premium for these auctions, there are essentially two six figure sales already.
There’s been a lot of activity in three letter domains as well, with OJX.com, GIU.com, PHQ.com, FFQ.com, ZQF.com, and AIE.com all hitting their reserves. AIE.com is currently $20,000 heading into tonight’s auction.
Other notable domains to hit their reserves in early bidding include BusinessPhones.com at $20,000 and DoctorateDegree.com at $10,000.

Aron has done a phenomenal job! Any new domain conferences should incorporate him, and his circle of resources, to harness his achievements so far. I believe this is one of the top developments in domaining history for last ten years. Bravo!

What is the take for Heritage Auctions?
Jason Drake says
Someone got some good names there..

My take is that Heritage Auctions bought a number of these names for themselves, including Animation.com. Not unusual, but makes me less excited about the auction results IMHO.
