I just ended the week long poll I was running on which domain you thought would sell at the live domain name auction at Domainfest, which will be held in New York on August 18th, of those domain names with a reserve price range of $250K-$500K .
The package of domains including Tshirts.com got the most votes with 32% of the voters predicting a sale with “None will Sell” coming in second with 23%, Lawsuits finished 3rd with 14% of the votes.
We’ll see how you did in a few weeks.
This weeks poll is for the 9 domain names with a reserve range of $500K-$1 Million Dollars.
As always place your votes on the right (only 1 vote is allowed this time) and place your comments below.
| athletics.com | $500,001 – $750,000 |
| goatcheese.com | $500,001 – $750,000 |
| inspection.com | $500,001 – $750,000 |
| qualitycontrol.com | $500,001 – $750,000 |
| stockquotes.com | $500,001 – $750,000 |
| verification.com | $500,001 – $750,000 |
| customs.com | $750,001 – $1MM |
| guaranteed.com | $750,001 – $1MM |
| rate.com | $750,001 – $1MM |
None will sell.
stockquotes.com
rate.com
Would be my guesses. rate is a great word and could easily be worth 1 million.
isn’t rate.com owned by the castillo bros. they stated they were earning 1,500 a month ppc.
Rate.com is owned by the Castello Brothers
GoatCheese.com!!
No really, I think if any sell for that range I actually like Rate and StockQuotes too. Never know though, goatcheese could sell – stranger things have happened.
qualitycontrol.com
None, but if any do then I will feel absolutely giddy for my very own Links.com.
I’d go with rate.com
Rate.com seems to be the best value.very short name and financial related!!
so rate.com is owned by Michael Castello, notorious for not selling names. So wassup here?
@survivalist
LOL I’ve already received some perosnal emails asking the same thing, but I figured I’d wait until someone asked on Mike’s blog 🙂
You are correct, Michael and I rarely sell names. However, that doesn’t mean we never do. What happened with Rate.com is that I caught Jeff Kupietzky’s excellent interview on MSNBC. The moderator tried to steer him to talk about Sex.com, but Jeff steered it right back to talking about domains names in gerenal as worthy alternative investments. He mentioned the auction in NYC with Stocks.com, etc and I thought to myself, “This is a great promo to sell a financial name at that Manhattan auction.”
I wrote Jeff to congratulate him on the interview and I asked if the auction was closed. He said it was, but CC’d Craig Snyder who agreed to bring in when I told him the domain would be Rate.com.
As you know, Michael and I develop our names, but Rate.com is a monster and we have yet to tackle a brand of that size. It would be a huge, huge project. If it sells in NYC it was meant to be. If it doesn’t we’ll go full throttle and develop it.
thanks for clearing up David.
It is indeed the best name of the lot and the conservative reserve surprised me.
i don’t know if I have to wish you good luck with the sale though. I hope it goes a multiple of the reserve and a big financial institution/site picks it up, that would be great!
