On Thursday Moniker/SnapNames will be holding a Live auction from the DomainFest show in Ft. Lauderdale.
There is no doubt that they have lined up some catagory killer domains, so we thought we would take a quick poll for a few days letting you pick out the domain you think is most likely to sell out of this group.
You can vote on the poll on the right and leave any comments below.
The price stated in the poll is the low range of the reserve range.

May 10, 2010 at 4:35 pmWith all the talk about chatroulette.com and webcams being used for business, webcamroulette.com looks great value, I think only a few weeks ago camroulette.com went for over $150,000

May 10, 2010 at 5:05 pmI voted that none of them will sell.
I’m sure one or two might eek through, but I think the overall sentiment will be accurate.

If one or 2 of these eek through as you say the auction will be a success, if none eek through it will be a disaster

May 10, 2010 at 7:47 pmHello Mike,
Jeans.com is the most brandable and therefore the most desireable of the lot.
Gratefully,
Jeff

May 10, 2010 at 9:23 pmno doubt that wifi.com and dating.com are the best and will be sold at high price

May 11, 2010 at 1:53 amBoardGames.com is already #1 organic in G, Y and Bing, serp for that term, in spite of the present development scheme being absolute garbage. That site is an example of lean-to development on a beachfront lot. Without even considering the burn down value of the name itself, the serp position alone is probably worth a good bit.
There is a coterie of hard-core enthusiasts who play adult oriented, European/German style board games that are probably apt to buy them almost exclusively online- the existing site doesn’t even address that consumer segment. A more robust affiliate infrastructure for the catalog of standard game titles and a substantial improvement in user experience for the site (basically, a complete tear-down-to-the-studs and rebuild) and the site could be a winner.
The SEObook overall tool has “Board Games” @ 3,875 daily (+ 200 for “boardgames”) so figure from the outset, you’re already getting roughly 4K searches daily and SERP #1 is seeing a lot of that action. With semi-decent development, you’re going to be converting a meaningful percentage of whatever clicks that are navigating with their wallets open.
Lots of math to do to figure out if it’s potential ROI is worth that kind of outlay (and if interest in board games is durable going forward).
It’s my sleeper pick.

May 11, 2010 at 2:03 amIf the reserve for Dating.com is $1M or close to it and it doesn’t sell, something is very wrong.

May 11, 2010 at 10:42 amKarate.com. Put about $250K more into development and a small sales team, look out! Magazine, Directory, Associations, Organizations, Books, Movies, Clothing, Goods, Franchises, Instruction, Rankings, How to videos, Tournaments, Travel…very nice!

May 11, 2010 at 10:34 pmI was at the ces technology show in vegas the last 2 years and 3d is going to be big! They even have tv’s where you don’t need glasses. With movies like Avatar and all the latest kids movies in 3d. I think we are going to see a huge transformation of how we watch television at home.

May 12, 2010 at 4:35 amDating is my #1 pick.
Safety would be #2
In these rough economic times, marriages are failing at an abysmal rate.
Online dating is very accepted now, and we all need companionship so dating will sell if the reserve isnt absurd.
Safety will always be needed technologically, personally, residentially, commercially, etc.
Safety covers everything, computer, financial, fire, security systems, travel, building codes, stds, driving, etc.
safety covers almost every keyword category I can think of right now.
Yeah, these are the 2 I would pick to sell, if any sell at all.
Should be a great auction to watch!
Vito.
