Expired Domain Note for this stretch
The prior week, the expired domain market posted gains of … Well, nobody knows. Without any cost basis to refer to, who can say whether it’s a bull or a bear? In any event, the former domain owner gains nothing from the sale of a domain that expires, sells, and transfers. Right?
Gains.com, still, did finish at NameJet with bids up to $25.5k. So it looks as though the expired domain market is pretty robust.
Other NameJet auctions were more modest. At under $1000, MusicLink.com set an implied ceiling for Uniregistry’s .LINK extension. Supermarket.org doubled that price, showing that .ORG remains in high demand. WhatWorks.org ($1.4k) reinforces that impresion. But TooMuchSexy.org was too bad for Uniregistry too — not even $200.
InuitGallery.com may end up with the Vancouver museum that bears the name of that indigenous people. GiaoVien.net is Vietnamese for “teacher”. I’d call both those $400 purchases bargains except that NewYorkOfficeRentals.com is staring me in the face whispering, “$69 … You could have had me for $69!”

Even as a fan of .ORG, I’m not wholly convinced Torrent.org was worth $11,000. The extension doesn’t seem to fit the topic. In contrast, no casino could ask for a better word to brand itself by than “Fortune”; so FortuneCasino.com seems well worth its $9k at GoDaddy.
Ceuta.com ($6.8k) is a city in Spain — but more like an outgrowth of Morocco, which also claims it. As for ColdFusionJedi.com ($2k), it has nothing to do with nuclear physics or Luke Skywalker. It’s a programming language.

Buried in that GoDaddy list are a number of quirky or informative items. Someone clearly got up on the wrong side of the bed if he spent $75 to start a BlogOfBile.com! We have a pair of promising puns: Howbility.com (ability) and Bartnernet.com (internet). CouponsGuru.com ($909), AutomotiveGurus.com ($93), and SoftwareBuild.com ($106) together say something regarding the potential upside of .GURU and .BUILD. And then there’s the obligatory calendar-limited domain, rich in last year’s back links: 2013USChampionships.com.
Now for some items with auction or backorder deadlines next week:
| Domain Name | Venue | Domain Name | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 64B.com | GD | AllInclusiveTravel.com | GD |
| CopyrightShop.com | NJ Pre | CopyrightStore.com | NJ Pre |
| Debited.com | GD | EFW.net | GD |
| EyeForBeauty.com | GD | JZJZ.com | GD |
| LARentalCars.com | NJ Pre | LUBA.com | NJ Pre |
| MIXU.com | GD | MrTrademark.com | GD |
| Ocupar.com | NJ Pre | OWDO.com | GD |
| Reflap.com | GD | SeattleMicrofinance.org | GD |
| SkiGuy.com | NJ Pre | SpeechComputing.com | GD |
| StartupLand.com | NJ Pre | Xilan.com | NJ Pre |
64B.com = 64 bits. Reflap.com was once an app for video chat. Some guy out there must be the SkiGuy.com. If ever there was a city dependent on cars, L.A. is that city. So LARentalCars.com has a big market. And what would a week be without a CVCV or two: LUBA.com + MIXU.com?
