Observations from Moniker’s Live Auction - Why sales were low and what it says about the current state of domain name auctions. Moniker’s live auctions (low no reserve and premium) last week sold just over $400,000 of domain names. The top seller was Won.com at $115,000. This is obviously a low number. I have two observations from the results: 1. A lot of these domains would have sold for much more back in 2007. Check these out: TrafficJam.com $11,500 OfficePark.com $6,000 Exhausted.com $2,000 All ... read more ...

Moniker Auction Bulks Up By Slimming Down - Fewer domains, better quality on tap for next live domain auction. This headline may seem contradictory. But it aptly describes the change Moniker has made with its live auctions of late, and it’s very apparent with February’s DOMAINfest Auction. What’s the change? Fewer domains. Better quality. The Premium Live auction on February 3 will have no more than 100 domains and should take less than two hours to complete. (Only 90 minutes is scheduled, but you ... read more ...

Moniker Trims Silent Auction List for TRAFFIC Auction - Moniker shrinks silent auction, online finance auction ends tomorrow. Responding to complaints about the unwieldy number of domains in its last major silent (extended) domain auction, Moniker has cut the list from about 5,000 to 1,800 for this month’s auction. I’m not sure if the list is small enough even at 1,800, but it’s definitely a move in the right direction. The live auction will feature 187 domains and will take place on Wednesday, October 28.

Is It Time to Suspend a Live Domain Name Auction? - Results from DOMAINfest beg the question. The advent of the live domain name auction has given the domain name industry a huge boost in both high dollar investor purchases and media attention.

Last month in Los Angeles, the live domain auction brought in only $800,000 over two nights selling 110 domain names. It wasn’t a big surprise given the economy and what’s going ... read more ...
