Auction ends shortly; at least 18 domains will sell — Sedo GreatDomains

A Peru domain name is at the top of the list.

Domains in Sedo’s monthly GreatDomains auction close at noon EDT today. 18 domain names have met their reserves with regarding 90 minutes to go.

8.pe is leading the pack with a $10,099 bid following 29 bids. .Pe is the country code for Peru, one we don’t often see in domain name auctions. 8 is, of course, a favorite number of Chinese domain name investors.

Wabe.com has the second highest bid at 2,550 EUR. This is a high-quality, pronounceable four letter domain name, despite not having obvious appeal to Chinese domain name investors.

Gum.net is below its reserve of somewhere under $5,000. This is a great .net domain name for building a brand. It has a nice ring to it, and is one of those rare instances in which I think .net can be part of the brand.
