Vail.Co Sells For $15K as The .Co Land Rush Auctions End With Another $200K + In Sales
2010 September 20
Another great Geo domain, Vail.co topped the.Co Land Rush Auction results reported by the .Co registry today (we already reported on Ban.co auction but the registry didn’t report it until today)
In all other $200K+ in Land Rush domain name auction results were reported
The .Co land rush auctions are coming to a close and just a handful of auctions are still ongoing, so this appears to be the last report we will be getting of Land Rush auction results.
I expect in the near term one of the auction houses will hold a auction of .Co owned or registry owned domains, but so far nothing has been announced.
Here are the results:
| ban.co | $24,500 |
| vail.co | $15,550 |
| blackfriday.co | $11,611 |

In my thoughts it seems like stumble.co is your greatest domain with the most worth?
.CO just keeps growing and growing. A year from now it will be the ultimate factor of .CO
“Notice those domains are mostly in english. These sales happened in 2007-2008. I didnt look very hard to find these. They set a precedence for the extension as NOT be worthless. As you can tell, the sales are pretty decent for an extension that was ONLY limited to Colombia at the time of these sales. ”
These sales have been mentioned before. The extension was a typo on NameBio
If you look at the whois many of these are available to reg in .CO now, and going through at least 10 I did not find one with a creation date before 2010.

“Just an FYI for those who continue to insinuate that .CO will amount to NOTHING.
It has already set a precedence back when it was a lowly ccTLD (prior to being a global reaching extension)”

FYI – I hate to burst your wonderful .co bubble but most those sales were for .CO.UK domains and NOT .co, they probably all are but I really can’t be bothered checking them all, maybe you want to ?
I think you can get the picture from the info below, that’s of course unless dnjournal is completely wrong but I highly doubt that. (especially looking at those prices)

Now I don’t know if that list was a mistake or deliberately posted to get people to reg the equivalent domains in .co but it looks like thats exactly what it did do for the most part, coincidence?? who knows
Good Luck
“These sales happened in 2007-2008. I didnt look very hard to find these. They set a precedence for the extension as NOT be worthless. As you can tell, the sales are pretty decent for an extension that was ONLY limited to Colombia at the time of these sales.”
They are all .CO.UK sales and NOT .CO sales so it proves nothing, look them up on dnjournal.
Many of these above (in .CO) were registered AFTER this list was posted on the forums.
I posted links to some of them here but they did’nt get approved.
(see if this post does?)

@Gazzip
Thank you, but I got my info from NameBio (Snapnames).
If you look up the same dates under .CO.UK you wont see those names.
So now we need to find another source. We cant have 2 conflicting information out there. It doesn’t help anyone.
Cheers
“We cant have 2 conflicting information out there. It doesn’t help anyone. ”
Very True Slate but mistakes can & do happen, you can’t beleive everything you read on the Internet
Dnjournal is the correct one. (as usual)
These are .co.uk sales – not .co sales
I know ever one here LOVEs Godaddy…LOL
But has anyone noticed that when you are looking at available domains to buy, off to the right side (where it says .COM “Most Popular”, .INFO “Free w/.COM”…ect), next to .CO it says “Premier Choice!” (copy and pasted from their site).
I just thought it was cute. I think they are trying to push the .CO. You will also notice that its listed in the 3rd spot above .ORG and .NET.
I just wanted to see if anyone else noticed that and hear your thoughts.
Cheers
That looks like the first big test for REAL .co domain sales:
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Miami Initial Auction Inventory
http://www.ricklatona.com/2010/09/27/t-r-a-f-f-i-c-miami-initial-auction-inventory-submissions-still-open/
More excellent .co names. Some of the best Spanish language names you could have.
http://www.ricklatona.com/2010/10/01/more-excellent-co-names-some-of-the-best-spanish-language-names-you-could-have/
The data for those .co.uk sales was put in NameBio incorrectly as .co. That’s why you see no .co.uk sales of the aforementioned domains in NameBio.
But really it’s not worth even presenting it as a “precedent”. The .co launch was super successful and precedents have now been set. So onward…

Is this the first “.co” case from the armchair kangaroos
This, along with Denver.co, makes me wonder what LasVegas.co will go for at Traffic. Care to venture a guess, MHB?
Em
Lasvegas.co I personally don’t like it in the $20K+ reserve range
Vail.co and Denver.co have one thing in common- they both use .CO as hacks for Colorado.
LasVegas is still a killer keyword, but not as relevant of a GEO as the above two.
Brad
Personally – given the demand for .co – I feel it will go for the 20k in auction – although its commercial billboard value is worth right at ZERO.
Brian
Except the reserve is stated as $20K-$100K so $20K may very well not buy the domain and it might be a pass
as “todaro” mentioned in another thread – where some folks believe there is an enormous demand for the non.com Internet space, like “.co” – the real deamand is for these (sell them what they want) registries to fill enormous space between the ears of these bottom floor “gold” miners.
That said I hope some sucker puts 50 or 100 into LasVegas.com – oops LasVegas.cc – oops again LasVegas.cm – oops again I mean LasVegas.co.
Brian,
Hey zero to zero means no potential and therefore no business. Heck, lets just call it quits today and be done with it…LOL. That would be like saying we should stop building houses because all the best houses have been built. Yeah right… if someone had the guts to start a new registry, he or she would be playing a different tune, I’m sure. But like any other start-up entrepreneur, first you have to have the guts. No risk, no reward. Plain and simple. .co is not that bad of a risk.
The typo thing is off the barbecue now, it’s done and a yawner at that.
I agree with MHB. LasVegas.co will likely be a pass because of the reserve. But who can say for sure?
