Domain Auction Picking Up Steam — Sedo’s Numeric
With less than 48 hours to go, a number of names bid to $100,000.
Sedo’s first ever numeric domain name auction ends on Thursday. A number of domains have been bid to $100,000 or more, but none of them have hit their reserve. So far the biggest sale looks to be 94.com, which has met its reserve at $49,999. As stated by the domain sales listing, 94.com receives over 6,000 unique visitors per month.
The top domain is 88.com at $325,000 with 4 bidders. Still, the stated reserve on the domain is over $500,000. I wouldn’t consider the $325,000 indicative of the domain’s value given that all bidders are aware they will not trigger the reserve with their current bids.
25.com, 40.com, and 70.com are each at $100,000. All three domains have reserves between $100,000 and $249,999.
One domain that looks promising is 900.com, which is right now at $15,000. The reserve is between $25,000 and $50,000. 900 is the prefix for fee based phone calls.
Outside of the numeric auction, Sedo is working on a big sale of AgenceMatrimoniale.com, which has met its reserve at 102,000 EUR.
The next unique auction from Sedo is called the “Italian Skill Games Auction” and includes gambling domain names using Italy’s country code domain .it. Domains include Blackjack.it, Keno.it, and TexasHoldem.it. The auction begins December 9.
