Looks like they got the 80% that was leftover after the 20% worth anything was sold off previously.

Kinda reminds me of a local company in a similar situation.

However, Godaddy have got the traffic to shift this inventory if they price it at reasonable BIN prices.They accounted for a large majority of sales of the DBS (parent company of Drop/Fabulous) domain portfolio.

And yes - another big drop day for Boomerang domains tomorrow.

Shame there's not a company like Godaddy for the AU market - that was always the dream...

There's still some killer domains in the portfolio.

A few of them listed here:

Domains like Beijing.com and Cuisine.com are pretty decent imo!

I've had some reasonable success in the past with .com.au international country / city geos. Sold names like Thailand.com.au; Japan.com.au; Phuket.com.au and NewYork.com.au for high 4 figures / lowish 5 figures. Quite a few others as well.

Talking to some people at the moment about acquiring Kohsamui.com.au and Beijing.com.au

Crazy Domains would be their Australian equivalent imo
