ModelingAgencies.com Sells For $16K On NameJet.com Plus More - The domain name ModelingAgencies.com sold today on NameJet.com for $16,300 Its sister domain name that dropped on the same day and was also caught by NameJet.com, ModelAgencies.com sold for just $2,500. It pretty unusually for a longer similar domain to sell for 8X more than the longer version but in this case I think it’s warranted. The same bidder Id did not get both domains. Another pair of domains got some love at NameJet.com with SolarElectricPanels.com selling for  $9,600, while the singular ... read more ...

WTF? iPodder.Org during $25K At Godaddy With 6 Days To Go - This one certainly has me scratching my head. The domain name iPodder.org is currently at an expired Godaddy auction and already has a high bid of $25K with still over 6 days to go. The domain according to Godaddy recevies around 2,500 visitors a month. iPodder.com is a parked page and does not seem to have that much traffic. Besides the possible trademark issues does this make sense to anyone? Guess it must make sense to a few of you as 6 people bidding on this domain with 3 willing to pay over ... read more ...
