TRAFFIC Auction Focusing on Higher Priced Domain Names

Morning Folks!!

As you know the last few auctions I have been focusing on domains with "No Reserve" so that we could have real and exciting auctions. In Las Vegas we sold 70% of the domains let by bouquet.com at $30,000. A real gem and a real bargain that Ron Jackson even did a story on.

As I have been writing about, the worst of the recession is over and business is recovering and things are moving again. They called yesterday "Merger Monday" even tho it was a Tuesday but it was the first business day of the year. Huh? Yes, first BUSINESS DAY of the year. The day after Labor Day is the day the gun goes off and the race each year begins. But this year is much bigger as we rise from yet another set of ashes like we did in 2003 and watch things take off in dramatic fashion. History repeats itself. It comes in waves.

So with that in mind, we are not focusing on "No Reserve" domains. We will be raising the bar this time with higher quality and higher value domain names. BUT....they still must be a bargain in terms of domainers.

Also we will be announcing a silent auction that will run before and after the Live Auction.


Now before we start here are the rules. If you don't follow the rules, I disregard your email.


1. I don't have the time to respond if I dn't chose your domain so don't expect to hear back from me. I am sorry. I am focusing on what I need to do. I apologize in advance.


2. No more than 10 domains on a list and please just send me one list.


3. You are selling to domainers, price accordingly. This is NOT an end-user event. However if you are an end-user you can get an incredible bargain.


4. If it is an alternate extension, it MUST be one word only and it MUST be cheap!


5. I am reviewing domains until Friday at 5PM or before. That's it. Once I get 75 domains that qualify, done deal.


6. If your domain is borderline, we may take for silent auction if you agree.


7. New gTLD's may want to consider an early jump-start and auction off the rights to some of their premiums coming online. 


8. Mail entries to:


domain king


at


Gmail


.com


8. Please don't get insulted or upset if I don't choose your domain. I will get ten thousand submissions and only picking 75 or so. My job is to make sure they are the best offered and priced so that they are attractive to domainers.


9. Your best chance is a meaningful one or two-word domain that is a .com


10. Good Luck!


Rick Schwartz

    I have a meaningful one or two-word domain that is a .com, but not for a cheap (domainer) price. Sorry for not submiting my list. But I hope the auction will be a great success.

    What are the fees to be paid by the seller if the domain get sold? (we need to know that to price our domain names accordingly)

    You should never sell your domains to rip off artists called domainers.
    They want to get your domain for almost free.
    On several occasions I was offered $20 – $50 for a domain I sold later for between
    $2000 and $4000
