Domaining.com Launches ClosingAuctions.com

Popular domain news aggregator launches tool to find good domain name auctions.

Domaining.com has launched an advanced tool for finding gems in closing domain name auctions. Called ClosingAuctions.com, the tool sorts domains as stated by closing time, bids, price, value and interest.

The first three categories are self explanatory, but the latter two are the most interesting. The value tab sorts domains as stated by an automated appraisal using domain metrics and past sales. The interest tab takes this data and compares it to the current bidding price for the domain. The lower the ratio between current bid price and value, the higher the domain ranks.

The interest percentage number is color coded to help you find potential gems in the rough. Blue appear to be the best values, green are worth a look, think twice for the orange, danger for the red and avoid the black.

Domaining by now had a basic “closing soon” section on its site ahead of launching this enhanced tool. It helped me find a real bargain on Afternic, so this improved tool is sure to do the same.
