Domain Madness Auction Opens: It’s Bracket Time

Domain Madness Auction Opens: It’s Bracket Time

Auction underway at Aftermarket.com.

Domain Consultant’s Domain Madness auction is off and running at aftermarket.com. The auction features a wide range of domain names starting at $0 and going up to $1.65M. The auction concludes March 31.

Domain Madness took a creative marketing approach to generate buzz for the auction. Going with the basketball March Madness theme, you could predict which domain names you expect to sell. The person who correctly predicts the most domains (some domains are worth more points than others) wins $1,000. Now that the contest entry period has concluded, here are my picks:

Antidepressant.net $750
BlockAds.com $250
Cutout.com $2300
Demetrius.com $1900
Doodling.com $3500
ePills.com $3600
FinancialGrowth.com $1000
GJR.com $4200
Groomed.com $2400
IceSkating.net $0
InsectControl.com $3800
LawClass.com $2500
Loco.com $28,000
PrescriptionBenefits.com $2200
StayThin.com $0
StudentOffers.com $2500
Tale.com $8000
ToyFest.com $350

I found it more difficult to pick in this auction than the Domainer Mardi Gras auction since this is a first time auction and online only. So far IceSkating.net has a bid, but with no reserve that was an easy pick. Loco.com may be a stretch at $28,000, but it’s a great domain with so many potential uses.

And in a typical domainer nod to Domain Consultant, the group recently bought DomainMadness.com.
