$1 Million Dollars! Anybody?!...


Most people had bid items on Ebay. But how many people had bid DOMAIN NAMES in a live auction?...

Last week, I was covering a live domain name auction hosted by SnapNames.com in Los Angeles. As part of the DOMAINfest Global events, the live auction had bidders from all around the world bidding live and over the Internet web cast. With around 300 domain names and a few million dollars on the table, 3 amazing auctioneers warmed up the room and started the auction. Small players quickly dropped out of the race while major players stayed calm and continued to evaluate the situation as the bidding went on. The 2-day live auction yielded over $3.1 million in sales with top sellers Porn.net sold for $400,000, Bookmarks.com for $300,000, Photograph.com for $195,000, and Yemen.com for $100,000.

You can read a very fine coverage of the event and auction written by DN Journal’s Editor Ron Jackson here.
