Tomorrow the .Pro auction of registry owned domain names closes on Godaddy.com.

The auction closes at 9PM PST on Tuesday January 17th

I would bet this is the 1st time most of you are even hearing about the auction which hasn’t received a whole lot of promotion

However out of the 160 or so domains in the auction over 100 have a least one bid.

App.Pro is leading the way so far with 75 bids and a high bid of around $1,800 as of publication.

Included in the auction are some one letter .Pro domains and 1 numbered .Pro domains but with a reserve of something over $5K on these (there are some with $5K bids but reserve has not been met) not sure if any will sell.

Here is a complete list of the domain names in this special auction with the high bid as of time of publication:

The court ordered auction of the domain name RightHaven.com started today on Snapnames.com

As many of you are aware, RightHaven.com isn’t just a ordinary domain name.

The story has been followed very closely by VegasInc.com which reported that  Righthaven LLC, filed 275  lawsuits for copyright infringement seeking not only damages but the forfeiture of the domain name of the infringing site to them, RightHaven.

In one case they filed however, the defendant, was awarded costs of $63,720 against RightHaven.

So this auction on SnapNames.com is to raise money to cover part of Righthaven’s liability

The defendant who beat Righthaven a Wayne Hoehn attorney is Marc Randazza who put up a blog post on the case on his blog today saying:

“Righthaven went after hundreds of defendants in copyright cases.”

” Often, the defendants were innocent and engaged in fair use.”

“In all cases where a court has been asked, they found that Righthaven had no right to bring the suit in the first place. ”

“In all of their cases, Righthaven asked the court to award them not only money, but the defendant’s domain name.”

“After losing a case to my client, Wayne Hoehn, Righthaven is at least $63,000 in debt to him.”

” They refuse to pay.”

“Now their domain name is up for auction to the highest bidder.”

The auction at SnapNames.com closes On January 6th at 3:15pm EST in accordance with SnapNames.com normal closing procedure.

The current high bid as of time of publication is $775.

According to Compete.com the domain name Righthaven.com got over 600 visitors in November and as many as 2,300 a month is the past year.

The domain name RightHaven.com also has an Alexa Ranking of 3.3 Million.

Its one of those domains with quite a history and is certain to get some more bidders in the days ahead.

We will let you know how it winds up.

The auction for the domain name BustaRhymes.com ended today on NameJet.com with a winning bid of $1,300.

As we told you the other day the domain name BustaRhymes.com dropped when his management company apparently  failed to renew the domain registration

In all there were  47 bidders and 8 willing to pay $100 or more, and 5 of those we willing to pay $500 or more.

So now that the domain name has sold, will the famous rapper file a UDRP on the domain?

According to compete.com the domain gets traffic as much as 2,800 visitors a month.

Does the new owner hope to make back his $1,300 in PPC revenue before the UDRP is filed?

Stay tuned.

Moniker.com “End of Year” auction closes tomorrow at 3:15pm EST on SnapNames.com and the domain name CE.com has $1,000,000 bid.

The domains reserve range is listed as between $1M-$5M and the $1M bid hasn’t hit the reserve.

Another two letter.com domain name, QX.com, has a bid of $80,000.  The reserve range of that domain is stated at $50K-$100K and the $80K bid has not hit the reserve.

The most active domain name so far is paternitytest.com which has 4 bidders and has met reserve with a current high bid of over $16K

Here are all of the domain names in the auction, with the bids as of time of publication:

Back in May of this year the domain name OrangeJuice.com sold on NameJet.com for $44,800.

The same domain holder that sold that domain, now has the domain name SkiBoats.com for sale on NameJet.com

The backorder deadline for SkiBoats.com is 11pm EST tonight.

As of publication there are 230 back orders for the domain, that will allow someone to bid in the auction

The high bid is currently $1,400 but that is pretty irrelevant  at this point.

Is the domain SkiBoats.com worth more than OrangeJuice.com?

Best of luck to the seller and all bidders
