A few days ago I posted about 636.cc hitting the auction block and immediately taking off to $30,000. Well it looks like GoDaddy went in and wiped out a lot of bids from 9/15 and the price was back down to $1,175. The name is now up to $5,100 with a couple big bids. Hopefully there are no games the second time around. You can see the bidding from the first group of bids … [Read more...]

GoDaddy stands out as the only auction house of the big 4 to not have bidder handles, and … [Read more...]
When it comes to auction sites the Domain King says “they all suck”
So I posted a poll here and on Namepros to see what readers, users, domain investors think about auction marketplaces. The poll focused on the big 4, places like Sedo and Flippa don't handle expiry auctions and don't do the volume.

Some background info on the name … [Read more...]
