Yesterday I bid on 4 or 5 names at Godaddy which is a few more than usual but I saw some value in a few of the names. Like always, I put in a price I’m comfortable with and then I get busy at work and someone bids just a little higher before I get to decide if I wanted to go higher. (I did get two names but I’ll wait until they are in my account ) It probably saves me a bunch of money by not having me get into an emotional bidding war but there are a few names I wish I would have gone higher. Here is a list of some recent names I bid on and I’ll go through my mental thinking when I was bidding
Illumiscape.com I got bailed out on this one. I actually like illumascape better and then realized that I liked neither because of the confusion. Someone outbid me at the last minute
UltraRaces.com I should have gone much higher. In my wheelhouse of ultra running. Could have sat in my “gonna build out” section but I think it was a good value
DragonDust.com I was next highest bidder. Just liked the brand
SweetEarth.com I would have gone much higher. Got busy at work and couldn’t get in to raise my bid. Also in my wheelhouse of good soils and composts
ToadSweat.com Sounds like an IPA. Would have paid more but there are a ton of names like this and limited sales potential. But memorable
HydroGrow.com Mid five figure name IMO. Had just purchased a decent sized name and was gun shy. Wish I could get another shot at it
ArtMart.com My friend owns a company with the exact name. I was going to buy it as a gift. Got way out of hand. Out at $2K
BigTomorrow.com Went for much higher than I thought. Out early
CNOT.com Ditto. Highest I had seen an LLLL.com go at Godaddy auctions
SharkJuice.com Another brand I liked. Really hoping to get it for $150 or less so I let it go
NightWind.com I had $500 on this one and just didn’t feel strong above it so I passed. Love the brand though
I share this because I’m sure the same thing goes through a lot of domain investors minds. So many names. So many choices. How do you pick what names and what price to bid. Everyone has a different bank account and mindset. This was a little insight to mine.Here are today’s names. Click through to see the current price
Quote of the Day: “The grass isn’t greener on the other side, it’s greener where you water it.”
Domain of the Day: ICOTracker.com This would have been a five figure name a year ago IMO
Namejet and Sedo Names and Others
VRVR.com Decent name but reserve wastes everyone’s time
Insectia.com No bids. Exterminator or bug ID
Frutica.com Another one with no bids. To me this is so much better than those boring exact match names for things with little to no searches
CLRI.com I for international or inc
IslandMist.com Sounds like a fruity girl drink
BeMe.com I’ll let you be you and I’ll
Book2.com I didn’t get a chance to read Book 1 yet
Godaddy Domains That I Like With Multiple Bids
CoastHomes.com Ironic name here as Gulf Coast homes are destroyed by the thousands. Highest number of bids on the GD board today
TrueCanna.com Solid cannabis name. Probably my favorite over the last month
Torica.com Already a singer’s name but a good brand IMO, singer or no singer
PollutionEngineering.com Its a thing. And an important thing for the future
SmartBytes.com People still like the word Bytes in names. 20 years strong
ByteVille.com Like I was saying
Localty.com Getting bids for the local thing
AZBR.com Arizona something Realty
GetBackup.com What a great marketing name for a cloud storage and backup company
RedVoice.com Not sure what it will be used for but over $100 and easy to spell and say so I put it here
InstawebGram.com Interesting stats from when it was for sale at Flippa 3 years ago
PizzaPortal.com I think its boring name but I guess one could say that a lot of the names today and many days that I put up are stupid. But getting bids and I like Pizza
AustinCondos.com Some of the most expensive condos in the US are in Austin Texas
AlphaRobot.com Robots and greek letters sound cool together
Humantic.com I love this one for AI or healthcare
BiggNuts.com Sounds like a TShirt company from the 80s
Godaddy Domains With No Bids
Vastix.com Sounds like a tech or medical company. No bids at $12 at press time
LargeTime.com Simple to say and spell words. Only one bidder and aged
DirectBargain.com Get the best price, direct from the source
GuyFest.com aka a Domain Conference
PotMaster.com Surprised this doesn’t have a bid. Could be pottery or cannabis
DizzyHorse.com Sounds like an IPA soooooo…….
eDrunk.com Get virtually drunk for $12
Smuut.com Pronounced SMOOT. Looks dirty, sounds sexy
TheSaltwaterGrill.com Not a ton of value. Don’t buy. But does sound like a good seafood joint

Your Godaddy Domains list links are incorrectly formatted.
Thanks Anthony. Fixed.
Shane, I basically do the same thing… As Ron Popeil used to say; “Set it and forget it”. At the end of the day, I’m either pleasantly surprised or, not so much. 😊
I’m still not over sweetearth.com my self. After reflecting on it some more I would have gone a lot higher on it too. Great Pick up by the buyer.
I snagged NightWind. Basically went as high as I was willing to go. One more bid would have outbid me I think, if I remember correctly. Really like the brand.
congrats on the pickup
Thanks Shane for the detailed insight. Much appreciated.
