DomainFest Barcelona Auction Flops Again, Few Domains Sold

June 15th, 2011 Comments off

After the disappointment of the DomainFest Barcelona live auction cancellation, the SnapNames.com re-do auction has ended with what most would consider to be more disappointment, only 4 5 domains sold for a total of $55,670. (Note this is an unofficial total).

The highest priced sale, Houses.co.uk at $50,870,  received the most activity on bidding with 19 bidders and at least 3 bidders battling for the name at over $20k.  The auction extended 30 minutes past the end time. It’s noteworthy to mention this sale was for one of the best names on this list started with a No Reserve price.

A few other domains appeared to receive bids that were seemingly near the reserve prices including worldclock.com, bodysculpting.com, duffelbag.com and premed.com.

One bidder with the alias “buyitfromme” chipped away at the price on WorldClock.com over the course of over 30 minutes, essentially outbidding themselves.  The initial bid came in at $25,001 and the bidder kept upping their bid at the >1 minute mark. As I watched I kept thinking “Just keep bidding right away. Let’s get this over with. Why are you waiting until there’s >1 minute left”  Their bid amount reached $41,000.  After all that effort, the domain still didn’t meet the reserve.

Notably, Social.com received a bid of $2.5 million today, which means there is some high-level interest in the domain, but the offer failed to meet the reserve.

pilsners.co.uk  - $300
houses.co.uk – $50,870
gado.com – $3000
seoagencies.com – $900
semexpert.com – $600

All domains from the “live” auction will be entered in to the extended auction along with many other domains. The extended auction can be viewed online here.

As pointed out elsewhere, Moniker did broker Data.com for over the $1.5 million mark. The domain was on this list and removed before the auction, and it was not part of this auction or the results from today.

Breaking: Social.com Receives $2.5m Bid at SnapNames.com

June 15th, 2011 Comments off

After technical difficulties last week, the DomainFest Barcelona auction was re-scheduled to conclude online today. The auction of Social.com had gained some press and I’m sure the cancellation of the live event was a huge disappointment for the owner.   There’s nothing more disappointing than building up buzz and getting people to come to the auction and then having it fall apart.  Just ask the guys at Boxcar.com.

Good news just came in on Social.com though.  The domain name has a bid at $2.5 million (see below). It hasn’t met the reserve but this is a pretty good sign regardless.  You don’t just lay out a $2.5 m bid if you aren’t serious.    Check out the auction action as the names close at SnapNames.com

 

 

The auction closes in a little more than 2 hours.  What do you think ?  Will Social.com sell today ?

Moniker DomainFest Barcelona Auction Results

June 8th, 2011 Comments off

DNN will be live blogging was planning to live blog the results for the DomainFest Barcelona auction today.  Oversee has been having some technical difficulties this morning (US time), with all of their network offline including their core sites like Snapnames.com, Moniker.com, and Oversee.net being offline.  Let’s hope they get things back up and running before the live event broadcast in roughly 30 minutes.

The auction has been canceled for today. To me the slow/lack of response of the servers looks like some serious network problems or a potential denial of service attack. According to a statement we received from an Oversee.net spokesperson, the auction has been moved to next week:

Due to a technical issue, the Moniker Live auction in Barcelona slated for today will not be conducted as scheduled. Our tech team is working to identify and resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Moniker and SnapNames very much regret the inconvenience this has caused our customers. The difficult decision was made in order to protect the integrity of our auctions for both buyers and sellers.

I will have an update for you as soon as possible regarding the auction inventory and rescheduled auction activity.

[Update] We received further information regarding the new auctions: The live auction lots have been transfered to a discrete online auction.  This auction was opened today and will conclude on Wednesday, June 15 at 3:15 p.m. U.S. Eastern time.

The extended online auction for additional seller-submitted names has also begun. This auction will conclude on Wednesday, June 22, at 3:15 p.m. U.S. Eastern time.

DomainMadness “We Did Things Too Well”

April 5th, 2011 Comments off

The DomainMadness auction, which was supposed to start today at 2pm Pacific, has been indefinitely postponed. As of 3pm Pacific, DNN spoke with owner Mike Fiol who told us they were experiencing “technical difficulties” .

Fiol told us “We did things too well. We just moved servers to a cloud based solution to handle 1000 simultaneous requests and we’re receiving 1500 requests”.  From DNN’s view we couldn’t access the site at all from the start of the schedule event up until this post.  The Boxcar.com team was working to fix the problem but there was no information available on wether the auction would be continued at a later time or not .  Approximately 20-30 people logged in to the live chat at Livestream.com to watch the broadcast .

UPDATE :  At the time the auction was experiencing technical difficulties there were about 6-10 domains that had bids.  As of this posting at 3:20 pm Pacific the site seemed to be rebooting.  No word yet from Boxcar/DomainMadness on whether bids will be honored or the names re-auctioned.
