Here’s what I don’t get. If I ask you if you like a name and how much you think its worth you will give me an answer. I have never been asked if its a private name or if its expiring. Yet when it comes to auction the bidders HAVE to know. But for some reason people think that dropping names are worth more because they are virgin gems. Not whored out like a domain investor’s name. All of which is 100% false. A name that expired could have hosted porn, been blacklisted, and have all kinds of negative history. Most private names have been collecting dust waiting for an incoming bid. I get that the auction houses list it for transparency. What I don’t get is why people bid differently based on what type of name it is. Feel free to comment but I have asked this question for 10 years and I have yet to hear an answer that makes any sense. Feel free to try Here are today’s names, you have to click to see current price.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me, Shane or Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
I don’t really care either way .. but I think it’s more the process that’s easier, faster and more predicable/reliable when it’s expired domains and all you’re doing is dealing with an automated process. Plus most of my buys are GD auctions and I focus on getting good value domains mainly domains most people didn’t notice because they don’t spend 2-3 hours a night finding some of the harder to find ones. I still get some great ones at CloseOut (although nowhere near as many as I did earlier this year).
.
So then, since most non-expired domain auctions have a reserve or have more promotion, those factors end up being the biggest reason why I focus less on those. The expiring domains I end up buying have less eye ball .. and in turn less competition .. which end up getting me better value as I get them relatively cheaper .. but it does mean I have to spend more in “Time”.
.
I’d think that effect diminishes considerably when we start talking about domains even reaching $100 at auction (or above). those factors I mention pretty much disappear at that point as that passes the threshold where everyone will now see them and bid on them if they like the name. So if you’re talking about domains at $100+, then I can’t make the same argument of the two types of domains being different.
PS .. If you like Weiner Dogs .. check out my dog’s FB page ( SteamieTheHotDog.com forwards straight to it ).
.
If that auction doesn’t go too high I might grab it as an end user for my dog .. lol .. but as a domainer even at $59 it’s a tough buy because nobody can spell weiner .. in fact I just checked and it seems google prefers Wiener .. and I even see some weenie .. plus they are also know as Hot Dogs, Dachshunds, Teckels.
Jacksy could be a bit risky… You might want to look up what it’s slang meaning is, and in particular “up the jacksy”.
Oh come one… SolarSiding:
Reserve Range: Between $50,001 and $75,000
Richard,
Take solar siding off the board. Not worth that much. And jacksy but not a term that it really used and I know my slang 🙂
