Mex.com auction ends tomorrow

Sedo auction for Mex.com ends tomorrow and has just two bidders so far.

[Update: the auction closed at 29,111 EUR.]

Here’s an interesting auction for a three letter domain name at Sedo that closes tomorrow: Mex.com.

Bidding is right now at 10,100 EUR with just two bidders. It seems that the auction began following someone bid 10,000 EUR.

As far as three letter domains go, this is a winner. It’s not a winner for the typical reason a lot of three letter domains are worth a lot (since a number of firms use them as an acronym); It’s the Mexico connotation that makes it worth a lot.

As stated by DomainTools, regarding 46,000 domain names end with “Mex”. Over a hundred thousand start with “Mex”, but that includes domains in which Mex is part of Mexico or Mexican.

The auction for Mex.com ends Tuesday at 10:17 PM EDT.

There’s another three letter domain auction going on at Sedo as well. UBV.com has 10 bids and is up to $4,300. That auction ends August 29.
