Name auction on tap for Austin next week — Live domain
Valuable domain names will be sold in live auction next week.
Right of the Dot is holding its annual live domain name auction in conjunction with NamesCon next week in Austin.
The auction starts at 4:30 pm on Thursday, January 30 at the Omni Hotel in downtown Austin.
In addition to live bidding, remote bidding is available through ProxyBid.
The auction list hasn’t been set yet, but pre-bidding is running on GoDaddy Auctions. On January 27th, the final list of domains will be selected based, in part, on pre-bidding activity. At that point, bidding will continue in the live auction.
A number of domains have high bids in pre-bidding, although most of these have not met their reserves. Add.com has a $201,000 bid but the reserve is over $500,000. Illionois.com is at $102,000 with a reserve somewhere between that price at $500,000.
Names that have met their reserves include HRB.com at $18,550, MGV.com at $8,000, Med.org at $5,200 and 70a.com at $3,050.
