Live domain auction grosses $2.2 million

Last week’s Right of the Dot domain auction at NamesCon in Austin was widely viewed as a success, auctioning off 56 domain names for close to $2.2 million. [Update: it turns out one of the domains was not authorized for sale. It represented $1.4 million of the total and the transaction was not completed. This story has been updated to reflect this.]

The headline sale was programming.com for $385,000. Two first-name domains — sandra.com and megan.com — also turned heads.

Some of my favorite purchases were championships.com for $5,750, tangerines.com for $2,750, pasted.com for $2,250, and compounded.com for $2,000.

The action continues online with an extended auction ending June 8. There are over 450 domains available in the extended auction.

Here’s the full list of domains that sold:
