These are some of the most compelling names in the auction (for the price).
This year’s NamesCon live domain name auction is less than two weeks away. Prebidding is already underway with many domains already at 10+ bids.
Most of the names in the auction have a reserve. So far, the most expensive domain to meet its reserve is Multiplexer.com at $2,100.
I reviewed the list to find my favorite domains at the reserve range. There are obviously better names in the auction than many of the ones I selected, but given the reserve ranges, these are the ones I find most compelling.
Give.com (reserve > $1 million) – This domain sold for $500k in 2015. It reminds me a bit of Great.com and Super.com, which sold last year for about a million dollars each. Depending on how high over a million this domain is, it has good potential.
Lucky.com (> $1 million) – Between Lucky.io selling for $67k on park.io a few months ago, online gambling, and brands that use this name, it’s a winner.
Piano.com ($400k-$500k) – I’m thinking more as a brand than as an instrument site.
Document.com ($300k-$400k) – Files.com just sold for $750k. Document.com has more uses.
Athlete.com ($200k-$300k) – I’m including this one because it sold for $122k in the 2008 TRAFFIC auction. I’m curious if it can fetch near that amount ten years later.
Leukemia.com ($100k-$200k) – I realize this is difficult to spell but probably not for people who are fighting this horrible cancer. Health Union bought the .net last year for $9k. They build lots of sites on .net, but it might be worth spending a bit more for the .com in this case. Otherwise, perhaps a charity or drug maker can use this domain.
Adverbs.com ($5k-$10k) – I like this as a brand, but would prefer the singular version. The domain sold for $1,800 in 2011.
Bullied.com ($5k-$10k) – Perfect for a bully prevention organization or help group. This domain sold for $3,400 in 2007.
Wipeout.com ($5k-$10k) – I don’t know what you’d use it for…maybe a game? Even though it has a negative connotation, I think it’s a fun name for the right site.
The auction takes place January 28, 2019 at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas and online. It is presented by Right of the Dot in conjunction with NameJet.
Wipeout.com is easy.

Wipeout.com was one of my domains
My favorites here are Give.com, great for a competing platform for ‘gofundme’ Lucky is a sure winner for online gambling industry, and Leukemia for LLS
The reality that many are not up in arms about the forced inclusion of the in-your-face Estibot filth shown with each listing that poisons the whole market is a total indictment of failure and fault upon those who are not. Especially those who have clearly come out against it before. The only exception I’ll make is those who really do have a sincere belief in it, and I know there are a few. But for those who hate what it does to the industry and the market as much as I do, shame on you. You honestly kidding yourself that such things do not poison the end user market above and beyond “domainers,” and have not even experienced it yourself, even more than me? Keep lying to yourself and staying silent. The time for giving honey to flies on this is long passed. The flies have never cared about what it’s doing to others.
I agree that the computer generated value (estibot) of a domain misleads endusers.
If I go into a car dealer to buy a new car and they also post its used value 3 yrs from now, I probably would offer between the new value and used value.
Endusers are already nervous about overpaying for a premium domain. Estibot increases their doubt of its true market value.
The last time was only very recent that someone in the real world end user market threw out the “Estibot” grenade concerning one of my domains – in a very public way no less.
Most of your domains are long-tailed, multi-word, mostly-worthless garbage.
Thanks for the trolling, whoever you are. You know you’re doing something particularly good and effective when your kind of garbage comes out of the woodwork. And lest any reader get the impression you know what you are talking about, I am anonymous in the blogs and people do not know anything about me or my holdings.
But if that’s not enough, what is taking place with this Estibot poisoning of the market is also flagrantly occurring with great one word domains as well as any other kind. Most especially for this very auction underway.
P.S. I especially liked crypto.com “appraised” by Estibot for $48,000 both before and after it sold for $12,000,000.
Crypto.com was bought close to the peak of the bubble. Would be worth a fraction today.
Stop lying, Snoopy. That’s not even factually true.
How about Covfefe.com
Wipeout.com great name, well priced.
Give.com not comparable to Great.com or Super.com. Sounds like a charity but wrong extension, won’t sell.
Wipeout.com would be good for a divorce lawyer
Wipeout.com would be good for a divorce lawyer
Jeeze…my comment was so good it was posted twice. Patting myself on the back.
Wipeout.com – great name for a blog about how the likes of Estibot wipes out domain values with the cooperation of the industry like sheep (and wolves as applicable) so the predators can get things on the cheap and reap the rewards instead.
