Our Picks From The Moniker.com Domain Name Auction From The Epik Development Conference
Moniker.com will be holding a live domain name auction from the Epik Development Conference tomorrow September 16, Thursday at 4:30pm ET / 1:30pm PT.
The conference starts today and tuns through the 17th.
First of all, here are some of the more interesting, higher priced domains:
etf.com $5M+
patents.com $1MM – $5MM
poster.com $1MM – $5MM
slideshow.com $1MM – $5MM
wifi.com $1MM – $5MM
co2.com $500,001 – $750,000
collision.com $250,001 – $500,000
haircare.com $250,001 – $500,000
harddrives.com $250,001 – $500,000
hobbies.com $250,001 – $500,000
Out of these my pick is Patents.com of course depending on where it falls in that very broad range of $1M-$5M.
Here are the other domains I like in this auction:
complain.com $50,001 – $100,000
spoons.com $50,001 – $100,000
downline.com $10,001 – $25,000
drapes.net $10,001 – $25,000
brakes.net $5,001 – $10,000

With the domain auctions, there are 2 different groups.
1. attendees. However, I don’t believe the heavy hitters will
be attending epik.
2. online. Unknown who will participate.
It seems most of the prices are targeting endusers.
Do the endusers know about the auction?
As to which ones sell?
If it depends on just attendees and domainers, I don’t believe
any of the first tier listed above will sell.
A few in the second group will sell.
pillows. Maybe, brakes.
BeachBags.net is newly developed – I’ve been watching. submit at only $750 reserve; it seems worth many times more! It’s been crawling up the Google results so that today it is #8 on page 1. The nice thing about the lists and Epik stores is the ability to access the stats by typing, “/stats” on the end of the domain.
Last week, BeachBags.net reported $17 and change, this past week, $25.28! This at a time when summer is over in North America – I say, it’s a winner!
Interesting offerings in Epik’s Swapbook as well.
I agree with Meyer,
For Epik, I see this as a lower-revenue audience. They likely aren’t full time and are just looking for ways to maximize the revenue from the portfolio they have.
A good niche event, but wouldn’t expect anything over $50k to sell.
“ability to access the stats by typing, “/stats” ”
I didn’t know that. But, I’m not really following the auction.
The epik results will make the old Domain Roundtable auctions
look good.
etf.com $5M+ ??????????
I’ve posted a dot to make a test of the blog systems since it hasn’t accepted (three times) a comment with the first domain listed inside it (so, now, I’ve added two +)
do you have a comments filters?
and… is e+t+f a “bad word”?
why e+t+f.com costs so much?
That’s the secret to this game ‘finding the real gold from the fools gold’ beachbags seems like a steal i think
If I recall correctly (and I may not be) the domain ETF.com was on the market for a long while- perhaps even by the original registrant- for nowhere near that price.
The only reason I know this is a trader I know overheard me talking about domains and pointed me to it, having curiosity-navigated there once before and noticing the domain for sale. IIRC, he wanted either 500k or 750k at that time which was 2008/2009 timeframe.
If I’m mistaken this for another name, someone will step up to correct me, but I’m fairly sure it was ETF.com.
@ Roddy, Thank you. BeachBags.net is a steal!
How about pillows.net at $200.00 reserve? @MHB picked that one! It can’t have been developed long, but there is so much to do with that one! How about, left-of-the-dot development: throw.pillows.net ? Wow!
There were a couple stunnders in the Swap list as well. My taste isn’t other people’s taste, tho.
Lots of good high priced stuff. Those are hard to sell but I’d bet money that moniker has a (stalking) horse in this race.
@meyer nice dig on drt. clearly though you havent paid attention to all auction results.
many of these prices seem too high
I believe there are 100 domains in the live auction.
It looks like they are 60% of the way thru and sold approx. $ 50K.
Hopefully, they will sell some more expensive ones just to cover
overhead.
They sold +/-8 domains out of 60.
40 more to go.
Quote from DNN (Adam)
“Out of the 100 names listed in the auction 11 domain names
were sold for a total of $47,750.”
Maybe, more will sell in extended auction.
Otherwise, Moniker lost money on the auction.
Is this auction being run by the same guy who has Epik Live Auctions?”
I don’t know what the guy who is asking 5m for etf.com is on but I would sure like some of it!
@junior the auction was run in conjunction with Rob Monster/Epik and Moniker/Snapnames. Results are up on dnn if you are interested. http://www.domainnamenews.com/domain-auction/epik-developer-conference-live-auction-results/8092
Anybody know the approx. number of attendees at the Epic conference ?
