Good time to score deal on domain auctions — Holidays are

You might just catch a bidding foe sleeping.

Is it possible to catch other domainers sleeping?

It’s not easy, but the holidays are your best chance.

With many domainers either traveling or taking time off to be with family, expired and regular domain auctions ending over the next couple weeks present your best opportunity to not face the usual competition.

This is easier stated than done. Following all, a lot of home grown systems (as well as publicly available ones like Protrada) allow domainers to place bids in advance for auctions. And let’s face it, many domainers never take a minute off work.

Still, the absence of just one bidder in an online auction can mean a difference of thousands of dollars in final sale price.

So keep an eagle eye out this holiday season. You might land a good domain under the tree.
