Over 225 Domains Up For Sale Tomorrow on the NF AMA

[Chris.C]

I couldn't find a good way to copy and paste all the domains that are going up for sale tomorrow, but already 46 of the 225 have bids totalling over $35,000 worth of bids so far!

There are also a tons of domains that have no reserve.

Any guesses as to how many will get bids? or what will get the highest bid?

Might be worth cracking out the popcorn for it tomorrow...

Netfleet are doing a fantastic job promoting this industry. Kudos to them

Agreed! Take them out of the equation with regards to aftermarket sales, and it's a black hole.

I'm sure DNT could step in to fill the void Ned.

Very much so.

With another 6 - 12 months of refining their system and building exposure NetFleet might have finally built a genuine clearinghouse for domains that would be able to consistantly achieve prices far closer to retail prices.

And I suspect that building out an AMA platform will become increasingly important going forward and fewer and fewer quality domains are let to expire.

Anyway back on topic... looks like 49 domains now have bids!

And whilst it's hard to pick which will achieve the highest bid, I think scooters.com.au looks like a good candidate, definitely potential to go for $10,000+.

NetFleet is there a way to get a simple list of just the domains that are up for sale (ie minus stats, bids, prices, etc) for a particular day?

It will be interesting to see how many, if any, of the big names actually sell (eg. v8.com.au, scooters.com.au). My guess is the reserves are quite high on these domains. Will be one to watch

Maybe it has never been dropped ?

 

[Chris.C]

Not long now...

Already 50 domains have bids and over $50,000 worth of bids have been placed!

I couldn't find it anywhere either. So I concur with johno. But I might be wrong!

The problem is that none of the top 34 have reached their reserve. There seems to be a massive disconnect between the vendor's expectations and what people are actually prepared to spend.

There will always be some domains that don't reach their reserve, but all 34 of the top domains? It just doesn't seem right...

Hopefully these final ten minutes will see a couple of reserves met on the big domains.

 

[dave]

I'm looking at one in particular that hasn't met reserve and am starting to think that the vendors expectations are going to be much higher than mine.

 

[Mark]

Time will tell guys - one way to find out - last chance is now!

I know it's not Netfleet's fault, but that was soooo lame. What an anticlimax.

I bid $x,xxx on a few domains, but with clearly ridiculous reserves I shouldn't have bothered.

Are people seriously trying to sell their names, or are they just misusing the AMA system as a valuation tool?

 

[Mark]

It's still going...just! Extended bidding for some...

I couldn't agree more! Very disappointing

Given a 4% listing fee the NF auctions would be an expensive way to gauge market value

The reserves must have been quite high

I bid at well over my valuation on one domain

It is early days@!

This.

 

[Chris.C]

So after being excited to watch the end of the auction, I was actually pulled out of the office 25 minutes before the end and I didn't get back in till later this arvo.

So what happened? Everything passed in?

What sort of bids did the domains get?

NF do you have a history of AMA results? This would be a really valuable bit of information for domainers and the public. I reckon it'd also help get you some inbound links as well.
