The Official Auctionpus.com Thread - 8 Auctions Per Day - Low and No Reserves

[dnbknowledge]

* This Is a Paid Sticky Thread *

KISS ("Keep It Short and Simple" or "Keep It Simple, Stupid", whatever floats your boat), this what Auctionpus.com is all about. This site won't clean your house, wash your dishes or give you a Thai massage: it's just an octopus which will point at 8 auctions each and every day as of this point. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

8 auctions per day, low and no reserves. By limiting ourselves to 8 auctions per day, we're able to focus on quality and at the end of the day, this is our #1 goal: giving people who own domains which actually have inherent value the opportunity to liquidate and, at the same time, giving investors a chance to buy great domains at reseller prices.

Batch #1

Our first auction started today and will end on Monday at 2 PM EST. Since it's the first auction (even though we've tested the script like maniacs, playing it safe doesn't hurt), we are making an exception but after this one, we will be auctioning 8 domains each and every day (the first auction of each week will start on Monday at 2 PM EST and end on Tuesday at 2 PM EST, the second auction of each week will start on Tuesday at 2 PM EST and end on Wednesday at 2 PM EST etc.). In other words, each auction will end at 2 PM EST.

Here are the 8 domains which are being auctioned as a part of our first batch, all of them at NO RESERVE and with a starting bid of $1 (no, it's not a typo):

Flannels.net

A one-word category killer product name dot net with 33,100 exact match global monthly searches and 110,000 broad global monthly searches: need we say more?

PAXE.com

A great CVCV dot com domain which has been registered back in 2010: an amazing choice for a Web 2.0 business!

Forum.im

The best possible domain for an Internet Marketing forum (practically everyone refers to Internet Marketing as "IM", the extension definitely works in its favor) and as for the term "forum" with its 1,500,000 exact match global monthly searches and 124,000,000 global monthly searches, "huge" is an understatement!

PHP.mx

An excellent programming-related domain and since Mexico is the world's #10 economy, the possibilities are endless (this domain would be a dream come true for any programming company from Mexico, a lot of potential end users)!

SnookerBlog.com

SnookerBlog.com has "credibility" written all over it. It represents the best possible domain for a snooker-related blog and since we're talking about a sport with hundreds of millions of fans, you can easily earn a living just by developing and monetizing it!

AudioCabinet.com

With 8,100 exact match monthly searches and 60,500 global monthly searches as well as an estimated CPC of $1.73, it's a no-brainer: turn this baby into a minisite and watch those profits roll in!

SwallowFalls.com

This one's for all you geo domain lovers out there, we'll let the facts speak for themselves: 4,400 exact match monthly searches, 14,800 global monthly searches and an estimated average CPC of $1.04!

FunnyMistakes.com

With 3,600 exact match monthly searches and 27,100 global exact match monthly searches, we are convinced that you'll have a hard time finding a humor domain that will come close to this one on the market!

As of Monday, I will update this thread on a daily basis. If there's anything I can be of help with, PM me and I'll get back to you asap.

Happy Bidding!

It's Auctionpus.com (as in Auctionpus/Octopus, that's the theme of the site, take a look and you'll see what I mean), not Auctionplus.com

If you don't mind, could you post the results of each auction in this thread, or on the site? I see no way to see past results on the page as it is. Thx!

TaguaNuts.com

Tagua nuts are used as an elephant ivory replacement and since there will be more and more elephant ivory interdictions in the future, tagua nuts obviously represent an extremely attractive alternative.

Aussprache.com

Premium one-word German dot com domain. "Aussprache" means "debate", "talk" or "pronounciation", depending on how the word is used.

ShetlandHorses.com

A domain name with a lot of potential end users. Everyone knows how expensive anything related to horses is and that alone says it all, definitely a domain with "buy and hold" value.

Your site could be up for an award...........thw worst designed auction site of all time......Well done !

[james2002]

change the name before its too late...

A friend.

Yes. I think so. "PUS" is undesirable in medical terms.

Got AuctionSense.com which might suite you better.

[dnbknowledge]

Simplicity taken to the extreme or even to the absurd is actually my main selling point. I'll pick quality domains, list them at no or low reserve and let the market do the rest. Each and every day. Checking out the domains will take less than a minute (literally) and, as previously mentioned: if you see something you like, take action and if not, move on and come back tomorrow

[silentg]

Have you given a thought about the design I sent you?

The Auctionpus.com Team BUSTED the First Fraudster

Today, someone signed up for an account and placed bids on all auctions. Naturally, we were worried and tried to call him several times. Nothing. His email account wasn’t valid either. Needless to say, his ass is banned and bids deleted. Want to find out what we KNOW happened?

A Sabotage Attempt

By someone who hates our guts. Who would that be? We don’t know for sure but there aren’t a lot of possibilities. Motive, motive, motive. That says it all. What this idiot doesn’t know is that we’re monitoring everything 24/7 and, whenever there’s something even remotely suspicious, we’ll pick up the phone and call that bidder for verification purposes.

Dear Fraudsters, We Know Something You Don’t

If you’re smart, you’ve already figured out what I mean. If not, try to pull another stunt like this and you’ll find out the hard way.

That's the reason all bidders should be by telephone verification,just to confirm who they are etc,you will always get some clown to try to bring you down.........

In theory, it all sounds great but a simple telephone verification system is basically useless because anyone can get through, the only way to figure out if someone is here to cause problems or not is to give that person a call, talk to him or her and let your intuition do its thing IMO. It's kind of a combination between an exact science and art. We always prefer to play it safe by assuming that everyone is out to get us, monitoring the site 24/7 definitely can't hurt and that's exactly what we're doing.
