Reserve and other Moniker auction insights — QE.com hits

Three domains have by now hit reserve ahead of auction, and CA lists five domains for sale.

Next week DOMAINfest comes to Santa Monica, California. That means it’s time for another Moniker premium domain auction.

As it has done recently, the firm is holding “pre-bidding” on a number of domains that will be in the auction. By now QE.com has hit its reserve with a $57,500 bid. That means the domain will sell for sure at next week’s auction.

A couple other modest price tag domains have hit reserves during pre-bidding, counting WeddingCards.net for $590 and CaliforniaRolls.com for $300.

Computer Associates, aka CA, has five domain names for sale in the auction: Security.com, Empire.com, Platinum.com, 1800business.com, and Cheyenne.com.

The buyout juggernaut came into many of these domain names through acquisitions.

Security.com – Netegrity in 2004
Empire.com – appears to be buyout of Empire Technologies, but can’t find details
Platinum.com – Platinum technology in 1999
Cheyenne.com – Cheyenne Software in 1996
