About the Auction

First and foremost we wanted to help bring better quality to auctions. A lot of great auctions are already in place so domain owners have a choice however searching through 2,000 or 5,000 names every month, and then include drop lists, special events, newsletters and more – well, you can see how tiresome this becomes even for the most dedicated investor. Entering a crowded marketplace is not easy by any stretch however we believe our sales history over the last few years provided us with an opportunity to put together an auction comparable or better in quality to many current auctions. The inventory for this particular auction includes just over 200 domains handpicked for quality, exact search, age, development and investment potential with 80% of the catalog having a reserve less than $1,500. NameMedia has been publishing data for years that the most popular price points for domain name sales where both end users and investor feel most comfortable is under $5,000 and we have worked day and night for weeks to try get a worthy inventory of quality domains with even lower reserves.
