DigitalTrust.com Sells For $15K On NameJet.com; Karat.com Tops $18K with a Day to Go; How High Will It Go?

2010 September 21
by Michael H. Berkens

The domain name DigitalTrust.com sold for $14,600 today on NameJet.com

Its a nice domain, but personally think it went for too much unless it went to an end user.

A couple of other interesting sales on NameJet.com today including Solars.com for $6,100, PremiumLife.com for $2,655 and ParentsKnow.com for $2,200.

The really interesting auction is the one that closes tomorrow for the domain Karat.com.

The auction already is over $18K with 250 bidders in the closed auction this may well be the next big money domain.

If any of you are stressed out by being in that auction, you could have bought SmokeMarijuana.com which just sold for $676 on NameJet.com today.

    I believe it is a well known domainer.

    You also forgot to mention W0W.com (with zero) for $ 5,099.

    I didn’t forget to mention “W0W.com (with zero) for $ 5,099″

    I didn’t know anything about it.

    A certain bidder has been going heavy on auctions.
    Thus you’re seeing prices escalating again, just like when 2 Canadian more active.

    HawaiiFun.com – $3900
    solars.com – $6100
    brownings.com $1310
    premiumlife.com $2655
    booktools.com – $1010
    invar.com $2900

    That’s just the wins of his from today that I know of . I’m sure there were more. The $15k he spent here got him 6 names for the price of digitaltrust.com

    That particular bidder is very well known.
    He is part of the old inner circle.

    I don’t recall him bidding for a number of years.

    He is a class act.

    Old inner circle ?

    Some guys ‘roll up’ on names like that. DigitalTrust.com is a smokin’ brand – if you have a plan! Others have a crazy big bankroll and throw caution to the wind. I think the first scenario is a better and smarter play!

    I’n curious how long the good doctor can keep it up?!

    I will stick with Caret.com ^

    Just so there isn’t any misunderstanding,
    the winner of DigitalTrust is a different person than the
    winner of Solars.

    I’d like some transparency on Namejet auctions. There are many auctions I’m in where the final bid has my head scratching because it makes no sense. If the domain was for sale on GoDaddy auctions or DNForum it wouldn’t even get half of what it gets at Namejet. I’d like to see that there are actual people bidding on this and not someone just running up the price.

    Chris,
    You are mistaken.
    There is a lot of transparency on Namejet.
    (I am not defending NJ or any other auction site.)

    What you are really complaining about is that NJ has more eyes
    and bidders that are willing to pay wholesale price.
    More bidders leave the lowballers in the dust.

    Did anyone catch the the final bid for Karat.com (I followed it to a little over $20K)?

    there is no real need of new TLDs since there are lots of good .com domains still unregistered
