Two domain name auctions to watch this week

Both GoDaddy and Sedo have auctions ending this week.

There are two online domain name auctions ending this week that are worth watching. Both end Thursday.

GoDaddy is auctioning some of the company’s owned & operated domains. I think this is the first time the company has auctioned some of its NameFind inventory through its own website.

Leading the bunch right now is 90210.com at $20,000, but it hasn’t met its reserve. KeepCalm.com has met its reserve and has a high bid of $13,250. There are also several numeric domains.

There doesn’t seem to be a direct link to the auction, but if you go to GoDaddy Auctions you’ll see a big blue banner at the top of the page that will take you there.

Oh, and since it’s the end of the quarter, now would be a good time to try to strike a deal on some of GoDaddy’s inventory.

Also ending on Thursday is Sedo’s monthly GreatDomains auction.

As of this morning, Website.de is the top domain to meet its reserve at €6,000. Some of the more expensive domains are very close to their reserve. Bore.com is at $20,000 and its reserve is under $25,000.

The top bid so far is $55,555 for 1515.com. It has a reserve under $100,000.
