Dot Info (.info) Domain Name Rockets to $21,500

Who says .info domain names are not worth much.  Printer.info is currently for sale on a 7-day auction at Sedo.com and with 4 days and 3 hours left it has one bid of $21,500.  The reserve price has already been met.  Now what this tells me is that some negotiating has already taken place on this domain, and once the bidder finally reached his highest price, or what the seller thought was the highest price, the seller pushed the domain name into a 7-day auction.  Personally, I can see the value in this domain name, but not $21,500 big ones.  It wouldn’t be surprising to see this domain coast through 7 days with no additional bids. 

Of interest to 3-letter dot com collectors is two 7-day auctions currently at Sedo.com with over 5 days left.  MNO.com is another single-bid auction with the bid price currently at $13,500.  SEU.com has 8 bids and currently sitting at $12,500.

2 years ago I could have registered all the 3-number numerical names I wanted for $6 to $7 each, depending on the registrar.  They were easy to find.  Not any more, as the value of 2 and 3 letter numerical domains are running at record high levels these days.  Need some examples?  Try 736.com, which is being sold on Sedo.com and with 3 days and 10 hours left on the auction has 13 bids with the high bid price currently at $6,300.  Also on Sedo is a couple of 2-number dot net domains, 30.net and 79.net.  Both currently have 1 bid each of 7,000 Euros.  It’s going to be interesting to see how these domain names settle or close out.

Dollars.com Soars to 55,000 Euros!

Sedo.com has been awarded the rights to auction Dollars.com.  On the heals of the $2.6 million dollar sale of Pizza.com, the single dictionary word domain name, Dollars.com, is sure to be another big hit.  The domain was just placed in a 7-day auction today.  I think we all know it will easily sell above $1 million, but we must consider how it can be used to predict within a decent range where it will end up.  I can easily see it being used for a currency exchange site, maybe a new name for an online dollar store, it’s really anyone’s guess. 

I’ve decided to run another contest.  If you will simply submit a comment to this article and guess what you think the final bid will be for this great domain name, I’m giving away a 4-letter domain name to the person who submits the closest estimate to the final bid price.  I’m purposely saying “final bid price” because we don’t yet know what the reserve price is and whether or not it will be reached.

Pizza.com Auction Sails to $2,505,000 With 4 Days to Go!

What can I say?  My prediction that Pizza.com would sell for over $1,000,000 has not only come true, but $1 million dollars now seems like a distant memory.  With over 4 days to go on this 7-day auction, Pizza.com may very well be on the way to setting a domain name sales record.  The folks at Sedo have to be happy, given the fact that they will earn a 10% commission on the auction, assuming their standard rates apply. 

The total number of bids have leapfrogged to 63 bids in all.  The reserve price has now been met, so its clear the domain name will sell.  I predict the staggering rate it has skyrocketed will now slow down, as the number of players that can afford over $2.5 million has to have narrowed.  Nonetheless, this has been a fun ride and the buzz over this domain name auction is surely to last for a long period of time.

Pizza.com Auction Jumps to $999,999 With 5 Days to Go!

If you questioned my thinking when I predicted last night that Pizza.com would sell for over $1 millon dollars, doubt me no more.  With 5 days and 12 hours remaining on its 7-day auction at Sedo, Pizza.com has 30 bids and a high bid only $1,001 short of the million dollar mark at $999,999.  This puppy is screaming and is going down in domain name sales lore as one of the biggest sales of the past 2 years, mark my word. 

Just to prove how value a great single word domain name might be, whether it is a dot com or not, the domain name autos.net is also on a 7-day auction at Sedo.com and also has 5 days and 12 hours remaining.  Autos.net currently has 6 bids with a high bid of $49,999 and lots of time to spare.  It’s going to be interesting to see just how high a dot net domain can sell. 

It’s time now for my readers to wake up and post a comment.  To the lucky commentor that guesses the closet to the actual selling price of pizza.com I will give you free, the 4-letter dot com domain name IBXZ.com.  So click the blue button below and file your comment and final bid estimate for Pizza.com now.

Oh My God! Pizza.com Shoots to $621,000 Overnight!

It appears that my prediction that Pizza.com will sell for over $1,000,000 will come true. With 5 days and 22 hours left on its 7-day Sedo domain name auction, this domain sale has shot from $403,500 when I wrote about it last night to $621,000 today. What more — the auction’s reserve price still has not been met. This is a sheer adrenalin rush watching this baby pick up ever-higher bids, with 29 bids received thus far.

In other news, there have been several premium domain name sales on Sedo the past couple of days that have raised more than few eyebrows. MyBuilder.com sold for $25,000 (a shocker), Autograph.com sold for $55,000 (probably could have gone for more) and GreenPackaging.com sold for (are you ready?) — an unbelievable $25,000. Where are all you people willing to throw away dollars when I’m selling? In reality, the real surpise here is not what the buyer paid for GreenPackaging.com, its the fact that the seller was willing to hold on to it for that long. What’s going on here is obviously the “green is good” fad with renewables, recycling, etc. in developing countries. But whoever thought anyone in the packaging business would be willing to pay this much, unless of course the family name is Green, the company already exists, etc. You never know, and I’ve already spent far too much time talking about GreenPackaging.com.
