Zuke.com Sells For $40K On NameJet.com? Yup Zuke.com

April 18th, 2012 Comments off

The domain name Zuke.com just sold on NameJet.com for $40,188.

Yup

Zuke.com

The auction had 203 people, with 5 willing to pay over $20K and 13 willing to pay over $1,000.

The winner at the end of the day went to the bidder Id: wonderwgq

Now as for the name why would so many people be chasing down Zuke?

I have no answer.

Zukes.com is a popular brand of dog treat but there is a trademark.

Looks like Zuke is the name of a band, it could be a sir name or family name and many companies have “Zuke” somewhere in their name.

But Zuke.com had little to no traffic.

$40K seems really pricey for this type of domain, unless I’m missing something which I often am.

In any case this was a drop domain so someone just let a $40K asset go for nothing.

Watch Out For The Namejet.com Bulk Bidding Page As Its Now Filling In The Next Highest Bid Automatically

March 29th, 2012 Comments off

When I’m checking out Namejet.com to see what domain auctions are currently opened for bidding, I usually use the bulk bidding page.

I’m not sure when it changed, but I wanted to alert everyone to the fact that the bulk bidding page has changed, so when you pull up all the domains at auction using the bulk bidding tool, the page auto fills the next highest bid amount in each domain auction.

If you intend to only bid on one or two names on your bulk page, you’re going to have to remove all the other default bids NameJet.com put sinto each of the domain auctionson the bulk page, otherwise you will wind up placing a big on all the domains on your bulk bidding page.

This happened to me the other day and I wound up bidding on 8 domains, when I was only trying to put a bid on one.

Fortunately for me I wound up getting outbid on all the other domains, but it was a good lesson which is to watch for auto bids when using Namejet.com bulk bidding page.

Social.Org Sells For $228K

March 23rd, 2012 Comments off

Social.org just sold on NameJet.com for $228,600

Social.com sold last year for $2.6 Million Dollars making it the highest priced domain sale of 2011.

This sale on NameJet.com represents a little under 10% of the .com sales price which seems just about right.

There were 21 bidders willing to pay $10K or more for the domain, 13 willing to pay $20K or more, 5 willing to pay $50K or more – and then the bidding came down to 3 bidders who were into the six figures.

A total of 415 bidders signed up for the heavily promoted auction.

The final winning bid of $228,600 was made by a user going under the id “qgpfexzorg”

Better.com Hits $50K on Flippa.com

March 12th, 2012 Comments off

The domain name Better.com is on sale on Flippa.com

As of publication the high bid has reached $50,000 but has not hit reserve.

So far there are 30 bids in the auction which ends in 26+ days.

As a disclaimer we are not the owner of the domain, nor do we represent or have any financial interest in the domain or the outcome of the auction.

Its certainly as nice name.

I remember that the domain name Best.com sold into the six figure within the last couple of years I think around $400K

When it comes to language or domain names, best is better than  better.

You can now say that one 4 times fast.

A Pure Drop Domain Formerly Owned By Verisign, ePhoto.com Sells On SnapNames.com For $16K

February 8th, 2012 Comments off

The domain name ePhoto.com just sold on SnapNames.com for $16,000.

The high bidder’s ID was Maxbid.

In all there were 174 bidders in the auction with 7 bidding $5K or more.

The domain name ePhoto.com was a pure drop domain, meaning it didn’t drop to a certain service, and could have been caught by anyone.

According to DomainTools appears to have been last owned by Verisign and registered at melbourneit.com.

Whether Verisign actually owned the domain or took possession of it years ago on an earlier drop, and why they would simply allow it to drop again is anyone’s guess.

According to Screenshots.com the domain has been parked for a number of years.
