SpringRacing.com.au at Domain8

[soj]

Just checked the Domain8 auctions and there seems to be some intense bidding for SpringRacing.com.au with the current bid at $3211

It must be the buzz of the carnival kicking off recently and I could see some money to be made from the site, possibly with a betting affiliate (BetFair).

Otherwise it could just be the Spring Racing Carnival organisers buying it as their current domain is SpringRacingCarnival.com.au

A couple of other domains going for some decent money are RetirementVillage.com.au at $1009 and SuperNatural.com.au going for $459.

Note: These domains haven't been caught yet, and the bids haven't finished, so they could rise even more.

talk about good timing for a name like that ....spring racing carnival

Crazy prices IMO. Could be an end-user (carnival organisers) but still takes 2 to make an auction!

Anyway good to see!

oops! D8 missed it...

 

[soj]

Ouch, that one cost them $3000, though i wonder how many other domains they would have lost if they had put all their resources to picking up just that one domain.

 

[DavidL]

Ouch indeed. Looks like domain watch put all their resources into grabbing that one as they didn't seem to get any others

springracing.com.au doesn't even have a bid on DW. what's the story? have i missed something here?

What's the URL for Domain Watch?

And am I the only one who would've paid at most $200 for SpringRacing.com.au?

URL is www.domainwatch.com.au

As for SpringRacing.com.au - I think it's a VIC thing. Maybe better known as Spring Carnival in NSW??

Thanks David...

I'm getting a weird error though:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections in /home/sites/domainwatch.com.au/web/opendb.php on line 3
Error connecting to mysql

Anyone else have this prob?
