The Daily recap of Shane’s Auction Picks, the 13th of April 2016
More Godaddy trouble today. I wasn’t working online, but Travis emailed me and said he couldn’t register anything. This is a problem I’ve had in the past and one that I have advised Godaddy about several times. Usually the name will appear as available, when you attempt to add them to your cart the system tells you it’s unavailable. Eventually after a couple tries the name will go into your cart and allow you to check out. Today it seems like the problem was worse and the system would not allow any names to be registered.
I was just reading a post on Namepros, the discussion was primarily focused around Godaddy and Uniregistry and how easy Uniregistry is to use. I agree, and like I’ve said in the past I’ve stayed primarily with Godaddy because of Premium Listing’s and having an account rep that I can email or call that will take care of any issues I have. But eventually enough will be enough, I want to believe they’re working on things but I’m really having trouble understanding why they’re buying portfolios and not fixing these issues.
Maybe I don’t understand how it works, maybe Godaddy could care less if they lose business to Uniregistry, maybe the concerns of domainers are a minor inconvenience to their larger business goals. If I did care about these things and I ran the largest registrar in the world, I wouldn’t sleep or let anyone else sleep until it was fixed. Alas I don’t make those decisions and people that are a lot smarter than me do.
Yesterday’s Average 4L Chip Sales as listed on LLLLsales.com $1,572.91
RG2.com 20 years old. Can’t go wrong with a LLN.com. Father of RG3
2,968 USD I always try and sound them out to see if there’s some hidden pronunciation, like when you’re driving down the road and you see a vanity license plate with a letter number mix, like YBL8 or Lky7 or P4me
Siria.co The Spanish spelling of Syria. 673,000 Google Search volume. Siria is of interest to all countries in the world
?
LandscapeGallery.com 18 years old. People love to look at landscape pictures. Especially if you’re old
? Sounds like a coffee table book
CreditSolution.com I would like the plural better but lots of money in helping people that can’t handle their money. Under $100 at press time
? You could swing the singular pretty easily, “CreditSolution.com, The only real solution to your credit problems.”
MWPC.net 17 year old LLLL.net
138 USD
TheNeighbor.com 17 years old. Surprised there are hardly any bidders.
506 USD Sounds like a horror movie.
Caution.net I use through this to the wind
1,525 USD I like this with the net, it makes me think safety net, caution net, I think it works.
AsianGolfMonthly.com PR4 , 1000 backlinks. Asian really do love their golf
105 USD Is Asian Golf Different than western golf? Ends on hole 20, holes 4 and 14 are missing.
Zaine.com Getting a heck of a price. A popular first name but the most popular Zaine right now spells it Zayn
?
LiveInTheFlow.com One of the guys in our running group preaches this. He says staying in the flow was the key to happiness.
? The flow of running? Or is he talking about the force or some other type power source or energy?
PokerSuite.com 5 figure name back during the poker craze. Now you can take away two digits
795 USD Damn you Department of Justice for ruining all of our poker careers.
Vulv.com Worst company name ever. You have to drop your chin just to say it. Price is purely as a LLLL.com
500 USD Noun (obsolete) plural form of vulva, Means lots and lots of vulva.
PocketTorch.com Sounds like a pyros dream. Or a powerful, small flashlight. One bidder
130 USD Expired and sold a few years ago this date, adjusted for leap year, sold for $20 more.
SteamVac.com I use one all the time. My daughter hasn’t quite discovered what a napkin is. One bidder
561 USD This seems like a decent name, I’d take this over “TheNeighbors.com” any day.
JWMR.com CHiPs prices are all over the place right now. I do like this one. Not a fan of J unless its in the first slot like it is here
1252 USD Just Wait Mr.
ThesePricesAreNuts.com I heard it a lot over the last 4 months.
?
895588.com Getting lots of action and deservedly so. Great pattern. Deservedly if you think patterns have more value
2,075 USD Seems it doesn’t matter if you think so or not, they do.
333621.com Another nice pattern here. Great patterns seem to be holding price and doing well
2,370 USD I would have pegged the first one getting more even with the trip 3’s.
76076.com I have been buying these. Palindromes with a zero. I think the are undervalued. And again, undervalued meaning that I think they make good website names because they are visually appealing and easy to remember. The same reason I liked numerics 6 years ago
? Not really a palindrome but a nice repeating number.
JPJ.info If you like LLL.info then you probably will like this one
?
1875.org, 120 USD
2337.org 162 USD

We did have an issue yesterday where the domain registration path was impacted briefly. It probably doesn’t look like it to a casual observer but we are always releasing new changes to the site to improve performance and user experience as well as releasing new products which are a lot more attention getting, we do a lot of releases each day to help improve the site. We test extensively and sometimes even with those tests something goes wrong but it is pretty rare. The vast majority of releases are seamless and result in a better experience for the customers at the end of the day.
Any time customers are impacted it is a big deal for us and we work on getting it fixed as soon as we can. I apologize for the issue yesterday.
