Add.com sale didn’t add up.

The $800,000 winning bid for Add.com at last month’s NamesCon live domain name auction won’t be completed, Domain Name Wire has learned. It seems that the winning bidder, who bid online, made an error.

That brings the total haul from the live auction portion of the event down to $1 million. This does not include the extended online auction portion of the auction. Also, I’ve received several emails on names I bid on in the extended auction (that didn’t meet their reserves) that show that Monte Cahn at Right of the Dot is still working to close additional sales.

During the live auction, Add.com was the top sale, followed by Offices.com at $260,000 and Please.com at $141,000. You can see the full results here.

Valuable domain names will be sold in live auction next week.

Right of the Dot is holding its annual live domain name auction in conjunction with NamesCon next week in Austin.

The auction starts at 4:30 pm on Thursday, January 30 at the Omni Hotel in downtown Austin.

In addition to live bidding, remote bidding is available through ProxyBid.

The auction list hasn’t been set yet, but pre-bidding is running on GoDaddy Auctions. On January 27th, the final list of domains will be selected based, in part, on pre-bidding activity. At that point, bidding will continue in the live auction.

Several domains have high bids in pre-bidding, although most of these have not met their reserves. Add.com has a $201,000 bid but the reserve is over $500,000. Illionois.com is at $102,000 with a reserve somewhere between that price at $500,000.

Names that have met their reserves include HRB.com at $18,550, MGV.com at $8,000, Med.org at $5,200 and 70a.com at $3,050.
