Yep, only 2 sets (8 auctions/set) per month as of today, top dollar domains priced to sell exclusively (Intentions.com, Transistors.net, N.pe, IIO.net, Forum.im, BusinessWeblog.com, PingPong.mx and WeddingArbors.com). Why?

Simply because there’s no way I would have been able to put ~250 top dollar domains priced to sell on the table each month at 8 auctions per day but can definitely do just that with only 16 spots available each month (2 batches of 8 auctions per month, the first set of 8 auctions will end on the first Monday of each month at 2 PM EST from now on and the second one will end on the third Monday of each month at 2 PM EST – for example, the 8 auctions featured on Auctionpus.com at the moment of writing will end on the 18th of April at 2 PM EST).

My experience so far

The situation is quite simple: domains are selling through the Auctionpus marketplace but as far as our 8 daily auctions were concerned, practically nobody was dropping by each day in order to buy through them.

Why? Probably because domainers are only willing to buy top dollar domains individually. In other words, they’re not willing to drop by and analyze our auctions each and every day if we’re selling <$100 domains exclusively, even if the domains in question represent good buys. Our marketplace, on the other hand, was well received because we've made it easy for them to buy in bulk: they simply visit our marketplace page, analyze the domain list (~700 domains at the moment of writing) and if they're using a keyword analysis tool, they can simply copy/paste the keyword list we've put at their disposal. The conclusion: our marketplace will remain intact (affordable exact match dot com domains at $65 each) and as of today, we will only auction 16 domains per month (2 sets, 8 auctions each). By implementing this change, we're able to focus on top dollar domains (mid-high 3 figs at the very least) exclusively and that way, everyone is satisfied. If you want to buy domains worth mid-high 3 figs or more, check out our bi-monthly auctions. If you want to buy cheaper domains, simply purchase 'em through our marketplace. Do you want us to auction your domains (8% commission)?

In that case, simply click HERE for more instructions. We’re only accepting domains worth mid-high 3 figs at the very least and priced to sell. Keep in mind that since there are only 16 spots available each month, we will be extremely selective.

Alright then, here’s a bit of info about the 8 domains we’re auctioning now:

Intentions.com

One of the best domains on the market at this point, registered back in 1996 and with its first page indexed back in April 1997. Intentions.com has a reserve price between $5,000 and $7,500.

Transistors.net

This one-word product name dot net domain (the term “transistors” has 135,000 broad monthly searches and 12,100 exact match monthly searches) has been registered back in 1998. Transistors.net has a reserve between $2,000 and $2,500.

Forum.im

The best possible domain for an Internet Marketing forum (as pretty much everyone knows, “IM” stands for Internet Marketing). The term “forum” has 110,000,000 broad monthly searches and 1,000,000 exact match searches, need we say more? Forum.im has a reserve between $2,000 and $2,500.

N.pe

Peru (.pe), with a population of 28,836,700, is definitely NOT just some random tiny island. On the one hand, N.pe is the shortest domain on the market at this point and that gives you a HUGE edge if you want to start an URL shortener. On the other hand, it represents an amazing ccTLD investment. Everyone wants a piece of the .pe market, find just one business owner who wouldn’t want this baby: we dare you! N.pe has a reserve between $1,500 and $2,000.

IIO.net

The best LLL dot net domain on the market at this point (all three letters are vowels!), IIO.net has a reserve between $1,500 and $2,000.

PingPong.mx

Ping pong (a term with 1,500,000 broad monthly searches and 135,000 exact match monthly searches) is one of the world’s most popular sports and since Mexico has a population of 106,350,434, let’s just say that you can easily find MILLIONS of fans there. The possibilities are endless. Do you want to launch an online ping pong game? PingPong.mx would represent an amazing domain for something like that! Do you want to launch a website about ping pong (advice, merchandise, maybe even a forum)? Look no further, the domain of your dreams is right in front of you! Do you want to invest in one of the best .mx domains out there? PingPong.mx is a no brainer! PingPong.mx has a reserve between $1,000 and $1,500.

BusinessWeblog.com

The best possible domain for a business-related blog that money can buy at this point, we dare you to find a domain that comes close to BusinessWeblog.com on the market! BusinessWeblog.com has a reserve between $500 and $1,000.

WeddingArbors.com

Wedding arbors are extremely popular, so this exact match product name dot com domain registered back in 2,000 really is a no brainer. WeddingArbors.com has a reserve between $250 and $500.
