SantaClara.com will sell. The rest? Good luck.
Crap or over priced or over priced crap.
Honestly. Who picks these names? What’s the sense of listing a domain with a high reserve?
Why should the auctioneer have to take the risk? If the domain owner believes in his/her domain and the marketplace, list it for no reserve otherwise it’s just a waste of everyone’s time.
I hope I’m wrong and I would love to see the auction be a huge success but it ain’t gonna happen folks.
Prove me wrong.
Sorry Mike,
No disrespect to your post. Thanks for posting.
I feel pretty good after seeing this list. I have a couple thousand domains that are on the level of the middle third of that list and all of them were registered in the last 9 months. Who says all the good names have been registered? There’s still opportunities for newbies I think.
SimiValley.com was just bought from Rick Latona a couple of months ago for $90K and the owner is looking for $250K+. Not a bad return if s/he can swing it.
tennesseejobs.info for $1K- 5K ?
Trading domains like this reminds me of the Beanie Baby craze where folks are selling and trading and they don’t even know why. If they don’t shape up a similar reputation will be born.
I bet I can still find some similar quality domains at reg price – if I were so inclined to bother.
I think you guys are being a bit harsh. I see names reported on DNJournal ever week sold in most cases thru AfterNIC that go for $2-3K that are on the level of a fresh hand registration.
You never know ’til you try.
Nice list – let’s see which one will sell.
Rob Sequin I think that you are as thick as shit and make 100% NO sense with your response.
Hey Rob Sequin do you have balls – back your words with proper action and list your domain names for sale at Moniker with NO reserve so people can buy them for $10 per domain name.
Can you walk your talk Rob Sequin ????
I have to agree with Rob on this, most of them are poor quality names.
Rob
I think there are a few good names here at decent prices but overall it’s a weak list.
However your assuming that moniker.com passed up better names at reasonable reserves and that is most lightly not the case. I think you would find that the quality of the list is directly related to the domains submitted.
If all they got submitted was crappy or overpriced domains we wind up with a poor list
Hey Damir,
Don’t be hatin’ 🙂
Am I not entitled to my opinion on this board?
I choose not to submit my domains for auction to Moniker anymore to be honest. They want to have exclusivity for 120 days and that is unreasonable to me.
I’m guessing you have some domains in that auction?
If so, I hope your domains sell but if they don’t it’s certainly not because of my little post in this article.
Folks; where you see “$1,” pretty certain it means one-dollar; not 1k/$1,000.
With this in mind; and subject to what their respective reserves actually are; even with a quick look, I see many well-to-great priced opportunities, including:
Americans.org
Asia.org
ColoradoRiver.com
Dehli.net
Hartford.org
Hawaiians.com
Hicksville.org
Larimer.com
Medford.info
Moundsview.com
NetherlandAntilles.com
SantaClara.com
Secaucus.com (will sell for $10,000+)
SouthKorea.net
Rob, what risk is the auctioneer taking?
And as for zero reserves; because it’s never clear if the right buyer exists at any given auction at any given time; this approach is too risky for any names with values/ potential sales prices over a few thousand dollars.
No reserve on names like chicagohotelreservations.com?
Sure; makes perfect sense.
On names like a balboaisland.com?
Only if you like giving your names away.
I check out TheDomains.com daily and generally find the comments educational, the suggestions often poignant but respectful.
The tone and language used in two comments denigrates the value of the whole
Quite a few of these seem to be people who purchased from Rick Latona’s newsletter and are now trying to flip them.
Steve,
The risk the auctioneer takes is time spent and loss of credibility.
Anyone who’s ever bid on a domain only to find it doesn’t meet the reserve knows how much reserve auctions suck.
A couple reserves here and there, sure.
An auction of 100% reserves will just suck the auction fever right out of the room.
Say you bid on a name you really want, then bid again and again, now you really want the name, you bid one more time… oops sorry. Didn’t meet the reserve.
Repeat.
How many more names are you going to bid on?
The other thing is that people will bid up to $1 under the reserve thus it looks like the domain ALMOST sold.
Bullshit.
Ever bid on items on ebay with a reserve? No fun.
So, a well known, liquid and respected marketplace should determine the value.
If this GeoExpo and Moniker is not that marketplace than I don’t know what is.
The truth is most domains are just not worth what their owners think they are worth.
Good catch Steve M.
I totally thought that all those one dollar domains were starting at $1000 not $1 – that changes everything. 🙂 . I wonder how many other people thought it was $1000 ? Hopefully just me…. or that might kill some off some of the potential participants.
However, I still don’t want TennesseeJobs.info for a $1 . But that is just me…… I’m sure others might want it.
I’m not intentionally trying to be harsh or disrespectful – I just think that is the reality.
I have to side with Rob on this one…most peeps think their $1500 names are worth 50k.
imo the biggest problem is not reserves but the spread amount…there’s a big difference between $1 and $5000…the reserves need to be an exact amount or at least a minimum bid amount listed.
Secacus.com above 10k? 15000 residents and no tourism…yikes
SanJuan.com has potential because of tourism, but besides that I agree with Rob.
Signing up advertisers is not that easy. Therefore, recovering the initial investment on most of these names would be a real challenge.
People that have never tried might think it is easy!
SaintKittsAndNevis is another nice low key tourism spot.
Massive and beautiful casino resort there
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/skbrb-st-kitts-marriott-resort-and-the-royal-beach-casino/
I agree that most of these names are either junk or overpriced.
Putting chileanseabassrecipes.com on this list is a joke.
some other bad names at bad prices:
chicagolaser.com – $10k
cityofcleveland.com – $50k
thetristate.org – $5k
southernitaly.net $5k
I agree Joyce. Hopefully the price is much closer to the $1 rather than the $5k.
Is it really that great of a name? I think all of the following are better.
SaintKitts.com
StKitts.com
Nevis.com
StKitts-Nevis.com
SaintKitts-Nevis.com
StKittsAndNevis .com
I guess that is because you own them but that is the official name which is used anywhere from 6 times to 6 trillion times more then the examples you mentioned.
I bet the domain stkitts.com would get significantly more type in traffic than saintkittsandnevis.com
If every name was sold on traffic there would be a lot of $xxx,xxx names selling for $0. I’m looking at many things and see some nice deals here. That was just 1 which I thought was overlooked.
“I bet the domain stkitts.com would get significantly more type in traffic than saintkittsandnevis.com”
Develop a website and type-in traffic will be a small percentage of total traffic anyway. Rank well for the money keywords, and you will be rewarded.
