Hi Guys

Just a quick note to let you all know we have kicked off the first of many domain aftermarket auctions on Netfleet:

http://www.netfleet.com.au/index.php?a=auctions

We have a small selection of excellent domain names up for auction right now. The auction will run from now, until Wednesday 9th June 3pm AEST, so just under 9 days to go.

A few domains have hidden reserves, however these have been set very low. However many have no reserve at all, so its wide open to all.

We hope you enjoy the new platform, happy bidding!

Cheers
Mark

Also, we have decided to flag domains in our aftermarket auction where the reserve has been met with a, well, flag:

Always keen to hear any further suggestions to make the process smoother...

Cheers, Mark

Just a reminder guys - this auction ends this afternoon. They have nearly all met reserve so there will be plenty of sales and as it stands some real bargains to be had.

TaxCalculator.com.au has have fresh new unique content just written for it since the auction started (sold as developed website with CMS). Cheats.net.au needs just a $100 bid to get it off the mark (2,240,000 LOCAL searches!), same with FunnyQuotes.com.au needing a $100 bid (huge search volume & dead easy development route). The Category Killer Baseball.net.au is chasing an opening bid as is the huge search volume & easily monetisable RingTone.net.au.

Also, because this is the first aftermarket auction with large exposure, I strongly recommend that you don't wait until the last seconds (or even the last minute or two) before placing your bids. There is the possibility that server load might jam the system and they may not go through in time. To save yourself heartache, please make your proxy bids early and relax....

Well done guys. Some great results again. These after market auctions seem to be a good thing.

Certainly happy with my sale and purchase of two domains!

I find it interesting that the only three not to sell were the only '.net.au' domains.

It appears people are still very skeptical of the .net.au extension.

For example personally speaking if I had any involvement with Baseball sure I couldn't get the .com.au as the Australian Organisation already has it but I would be more than happy with the .net.au equivalent.

More and more I'm noticing businesses either adding additional letters or numbers to a domain or even a descriptive word just because the .com.au was already taken.

Although baseball may not be the best example here as it would appear the Australian market isn't that interested in the sport, my argument goes beyond the three listed in the auction to the countless other brandable/memorable domains either still available for reg or listed for sale at only fraction or their .com.au equivalents.

Oh well, i guess it just means the day when people do finally realise there is great value in generic .net.au they will be long gone and the asking values would have increased significantly.

I think the fact it was baseball.net.au limited overall interest, had it been tennis.net.au, football.net.au or cricket.net.au I'm more confident it would've received a bid and sold.

Even if it had been baseball.com.au the sale price would've struggled to reach $1000 imo.
