ProteinBars.com Sells For $57K & ProteinBar.com Sells For $20K At NameJet.com

September 5, 2009 by Michael Berkens

In a battle between 2 bidders, that lasted for well over two hours, , a couple of nice domains sold over at NameJet.com today and they weren’t even a .cm

ProteinBars.com, a true category killer,  sold for $56,900  and its cousin ProteinBar.com sold for $20,100.

Smartly the same bidder picked up both domains.

I bid up to $30K for the Plural and $5K for the singular and obviously got outbid badly on both.

Another domain hit the figure fives today at NameJet.com, CarSurvey.com, which sold for $10,641,  which frankly I just don’t getting being a $10K name, but that’s why the call it a horse race.

Another domain I don’t get, creditlawyers.com, wound up at $6,300 which is a lot less than what litigationattorneys.com sold for  a few weeks ago on NameJet.com

Energyfoods.com also sold for $4,008.

    Last night, I started feeling regret that I didn’t add these to my namejet auctions.

    Just now, no more regrets… 🙂

    Here’s some of the deals I got today:

    HacksawBlades.com for $59

    and a few of my $7 dropcatches:

    FatEliminator.com
    TibetanSingingBowl.com
    DivineBlinds.com

    proteinmilkshakes.com – make me an offer to compliment these.
    I think proteinbars.com could easily be flipped to one of the big nutrition supplement companies. Wonder what happens here.

    Samir,

    If you had ProteinShakes.com, then, yes, I can see the buyer being interested because that is a category killer of the same magnitude. ProteinMilkshakes.com is worth $7-50 and many of the names that drop each day that are available for regfee that I see are about as good if not better. Sorry in advance for the brutal honesty.

    Honesty is fine. Maybe it’s better suited with me building it out with affiliate programs.

    It was interesting watching those 2 auctions. More people are waking up and recognizing the value and brand opportunity of a good generic domain name. So on a ‘domainer’ auction platform, when pricing leaps past domainer numbers and starts to drift into end user price territory it can only be good for all of us…..

    How does one get their domains added to namejet auctions? I look at their site and they seem to focus purely on buyers and not sellers. Am I missing something? Thx.

    Steve

    These domains were actual drop domains.

    NameJet.com does from time to time let private sellers put domains through there system, but its available only through invitation.

    I was invited and tested the system, sold 15 domains and I was disappointed by the results I got.

    Mike,

    When you sold via Namejet, were your names listed with the expireds or separately? I’m surprised at the disappointing results…

    The domainer owned names are mixed in the with expired domains and go through the same process.

    Namejet.com does not treat them differently except the owned domains may appear on the top backordered list for more than one day.

    Those are nice sales. I found one the other day called probioticbar.com that we picked up. It costed about the price of a dozen mars bars. Opportunity everywhere.
