I’m watching the auction via NameJet as we speak and thought it would be a good idea to post the live results here. Maybe some of you aren’t NameJet users or perhaps issues such as a poor Internet connection are preventing you from watching the auctions. I’ll update this post as often as I can, you can refresh it if you want to be kept up to date or you can of course just drop by later and see the final results 🙂

Same day edit: That’s it guys!

If my numbers are correct, the grand total is $1,109,856 (turns out I was wrong, it’s closer to $1,500,000, as per my “next day edit”) in sales. I followed the auctions closely, so I think this number is pretty accurate but then again, it might not be 100% accurate.

Now sure, deals can still be reached after the auction ended, so the previously mentioned number is by no means definitive at this point.

The biggest sale was Single.com at $290,000 and other than that, there were no blockbuster sales unless of course more deals end up being reached. All in all though, I think the auction did well, with 106 (actually 111, as I’ve missed a few sales, see the “next day edit” for more details) out of 143 domains selling. I for one would much rather see an auction like this than an event with just a couple of blockbuster sales and then crickets 🙂

A preliminary analysis (it’s 5:30 am over here, so yeah… don’t expect me to say something brilliant, I’m doing my best haha) would be this:

1) one word dot coms and short domains fetched prices I consider fair; not too high, not too low

2) some of the lower value dot coms fetched surprisingly high prices, congrats to the sellers and to the auction organizers!

3) new gTLDs had a ridiculously poor performance; I for one am not surprised because as I kept repeating obsessively on DomainingTips, there are greener pastures for domainers than new g’s; with so many better assets to invest in, why bother with new gTLDs?

Next day edit: it seems some domains that thought didn’t sell actually had their reserves met and the same way, some names that I thought sold actually didn’t.

The names that actually had their reserves met are:

Featured.com – $100,000
Crete.com – $75,000 the owner emailed me to let me know the domain didn’t sell
AdvertisingAgency.com – $65,000
Toxic.com – $70,000
Wages.com – $15,000
ElectricRazors.com – $8,000
RoadSigns.com – $7,000
LoveLine.com – $9,000
Their.com – $21,000

The ones I thought sold but didn’t are:

UF.tv – $5,000
RAWO.com – $4,100
CatAllergies.com – $3,102
Occupied.com – $4,000

All in all, it turns out 111 110 out of 143 domains sold, a sell-through rate of 77.6% 76.9% .

Also, the grand total is now close to $1,500,000 which is also very good IMO. Again, I always prefer events which generate high sell-through rates over events which generate blockbuster sales but very low sell-through rates.

Another edit: the owner of Crete.com emailed me to let me know the domain didn’t sell
