Domain auction looks better — GoDaddy’s next

More domains and — more importantly — better names at better starting prices.

GoDaddy has disclosed its next premium domain auction event, which looks better than the last one.

The auction will start on December 3, with names closing on December 10-11.

Like last time, it includes inventory from NameFind and BuyDomains. Regarding 80% of the domains appear to be from BuyDomains, which is also similar to last time.

But overall, the quality and prices in December’s auction seem better. (Download the list here.) With nearly 800 domains and investors looking to round out their portfolios ahead of the end of the year, I expect better sales results.

All auctions start at their reserve prices, which range from $249 to $35,000.

Many of the more expensive domains are .club domains, which I assume are being sold directly by the registry, which GoDaddy owns. These include hotel.club, music.club, and health.club, all for $15,000 each.

The auction will be live here on December 3.
