Drops - 6 April

[Ash]

ShoppingCart.com.au would be a pretty good one to grab.

Will be watching it with interest (off to a fine start too!).

 

[FirstPageResults]

Great domain, should fetch quite a bit you'd think. Plenty of agencies and vendors would love to own this gem.

 

[snoopy]

First decent name in a while it seems.

 

[GerBot]

$1500 on NF already & 2,207 on Drop.
8 bidders
Should go for over $5,000

ohh and you can get the .net set on the same day
shoppingcart.net.au

 

[GerBot]

and villas.com.au on the same day.
could be fun if you consider this thread

Set your alarm GerBot!

By the way, I love your site Zippy.com.au. It looks great. Is it doing well for you?

 

[Ash]

Aromatherapy.com.au and villas.com.au had a lot of interest too.

Congrats to the winning bidders on all three of these domains.

Ha ha Zhenjie - this sounds familiar!

Well done on the pickup - great domain. Congrats to Snapper as well!

 

[neddy]

Drinks are on Snapper!

Congrats Snapper on picking up the top two domains today!

Nearly $11k!

What time are drinks - and I hope you have got the good stuff on?

 

[Simon Johnson]

Too many end users in the drop = higher prices.

 

[Mark]

Congrats to the buyers of ShoppingCart.com.au and Aromatherapy.com.au!

Killer domains...will be interesting to see how they develop!

 

[DomainNames]

yes 3 great names today and fair prices paid. Well done. All three Villas, Aromatherapy and ShoppingCart should be able to get back the money invested pretty fast.

$5k for aromatherapy was about right but thought villas could have got more

 

[GerBot]

interestingly I think the focus on these allowed drop.com.au to win the first head to head on another domain.
I've not seen drop wining many so it was good to see them get up on one, even if it was not one of the big'uns.

 

[Chris.C]

but thought villas could have got more

I was reasonably happy to get it for what I did.



The timing is good too because I'm off to Bali in two weeks. I might pop in and have some conversations with some RE Agents in Bali.

That said whilst I think it's a good domain - it's not AMAZING given that most Australians associate villas with overseas holiday destinations and .com.au domains traditionally don't rank really well for such searches in Google.

So it's a good domain - but not without its risks. That said it's got great brandablility IMO.

Chris,If you are going to pop in and see some agents that now makes the whole trip tax deductible i reckon

Yes Great name. Good luck with it

I was actually thinking that the other day!

The domain might pay for itself just in tax deductibility as I travel to Bali pretty much every year.

Does anyone know the restrictions in regards to claiming something as business related?

 

[coreyg]

does any one hand register drop domains from the Offical Drop Domain List @ auDA?
