Partial Domain Name Auction List — Moniker Releases

Moniker has released information regarding some of the premium domains to be auctioned at next month’s TRAFFIC conference in Las Vegas.

The next live domain name auction from Moniker will take place during the TRAFFIC conference March 5-8 at the Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada. Moniker issued a press release listing some of the names that will be available.

The list includes: Text.com, Smoking.com, Ethanol.com, FreshFood.com, Greeting.com, Minnesota.org, MoviePreviews.com, OnlineVideos.com, Privacy.com, Reunite.com, and Sopranos.com. The original press release erroneously listed a number of .mobi domains for sale counting Directions.mobi, Pizza.mobi, RealEstate.mobi and Singles.mobi. While it’s possible that one or more of these domains will be in the auction, RealEstate.com is on dotMobi’s list of domains that will be sold through an RFP process to ensure it is put to good use. Furthermore, Pizza.mobi is on Sedo’s list of domain names it intends to auction on behalf of dotMobi. (Incidentally, I have not been able to find Sedo’s auction for Roses.mobi, which was supposed to kick off on Valentines’ Day).

Unlike Moniker’s last TRAFFIC auction, bidders need not attend the conference in order to bid on domains. By paying a $499 absentee fee, anyone can bid on live auction domains through a pre-established proxy bid and can participate in the silent auction.
