It seems like our auction results posts are starting to gain traction. Judging by the traffic that is growing every month. When I first started in this industry I felt there was only one way to learn how to make money and that was to understand how much domains were worth. If you didn’t know worth then how are you supposed to know what to buy them for? We all know end user pricing can be whatever you want for it combined with what kind of end user is going to be attracted to the name. It doesn’t teach you much more than start with a good domain, add patience, timing, and luck and its your best chance for a high price. Auction prices on the other hand, give you an idea of what others think is the value of the name. You can learn a lot about domain names by watching final prices. And Travis delivers that info every day. I think we have a good majority of the domain names that had a bid and the results every day. Namebio is an incredible source for sales info but checking out our list every day is an easy 5 minute glance that I think should be part of everyone’s daily routine. And judging by number of readers it appears that is becoming the case for more and more people. People that are better at their craft than those that don’t. But I may be a bit biased.
On a personal note. I have my daughter home for Christmas and she’s training hard to get back in shape for indoor track. Which means Dad has to do some workouts with her. Workouts I am capable of doing but not really a need for it. But I do it because she wants me to join her and when your kid asks you to spend time with them you do. The problem is she asks me to join and talk to her at 7:15 pace for 8 miles. Some days its her babbling away and me gasping for breath but yesterday it was my day. I felt great and she yelled at me for pushing the pace. Kept yelling at me saying I was going to ruin her workout the next day when she really had to work hard. I harassed her and said that I was barely breathing and was actually saving myself for tomorrow and was going slower than normal to rest. All the while knowing there was no way in Hell I was going to run tomorrow and that what I had was pretty much it. But she didn’t have to know that at the time. As we got back to the car I did a celebration of leading the run, she gave me a great job, and then said “I have 3 more miles, if you could get the car warmed up” and took off. Here are today’s names. Click through to see the current price and to fund this daily list
Quote of the Day: “It’s discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.” – Noël Coward
Domain of the Day: FuelBox.com The kind of two word name that is doing well. Fuel is energy and energy is required to do anything
Namejet, Sedo, and other Names Up for Auction
Spotsy.com I imagine quite a few are going to like this one because of how catchy it is
8396.com Not getting many bids because of its reserve
YGay.com Why? Because if you’re not you’re missing half the fun. A gay man told me that once and “I’ve repeated it but not practiced it ever since”
Ky85.com Once you figure out the letters and the patterns there is some money to be made in LLNN.com
PriceRadar.com Price comparison site all the way
BYX.com Closes today. Better as a Chinese name than a Western name because of the letters
EVRC.com I think this one hits reserve. VR in the middle. C for Corp
TUZA.com Good CVCV because it can be TOOZA and not short a Z. Some CVCV look like they are missing a letter
Slinger.com Sling.com is going to want this and the reserve shows the owner knows it
SockStore.com I would buy my socks here. But I buy a lot more socks than the average person
Zenku.com A nice 5L.com. May be able to hit reserve
BEPR.com Met reserve under $500
Godaddy Domains With Multiple Bids
Pictor.com A constellation which always makes a good brand. Highest value on the board according to Godaddy
VCBC.com I like this pattern. And I like rhyming because its easier to remember
SolarHotWater.com A bit generic to brand but if you make a device for this you should want to own this
NewCard.com The value is credit card affiliate money
Iterio.com I liked it visually and other entities using the word in their branding as well
CocoBar.com Chocolate or beer. Either way I’m going
MiracleBelt.com This thing better be pretty special
MichaelWaltrip.com Great American NASCAR driver. Most people don’t know he is huge. 6 foot 5
Slim5.com I don’t see any value but I do order this at Jimmy Johns if that has any value
UnSearch.com Could be used in an advertising campaign like 7-up the UnCola. And I wish there were a few things I could take back and unsearch. So privacy is another angle as I type this out
Godaddy Domains With One or No Bids
LeafGen.com I’ve labeled all leaf names into canna names
JongUn.com Everyone knows Kim Jong-un but nobody has bid on the name
2nd.co Not a fan of .co but this one isn’t too bad. Rather have 1st though

WristKey.com My guess is eventually your watch is going to have facial recognition that opens all locked doors
Emergio.com the main word of emerge makes this strong IMO
OldQuality.com because old people always think their stuff was made better back in the day. Usually true
