06.com on auction

[sevent]

Not my name, but I think it's owned by a DNF member.

I've said this to folks in private before, I'll say it here publicly:

If you can pick up a 0N.com name for under $100k or *any other* NN.com for less than $170k do it now, while you still have a chance. I'm holding out for at least a quarter M$ for my pearl and don't think I'll have to wait much longer to get it. Or I might just decide that this is my "retirement name".

Nice way of advertising this 06 sale, pal.
Great name, indeed!

I think that has to do with how sedo does the automated bidding on your behalf. For example, you set a max bid but that bid isn't met unless someone else bids up that amount. So if bidder A has current high bid of 10k and max reserve bid of $30k, then bidder B puts in max reserve bid of $25k, the current bid will bump up to $25k.something and show bidder A still in the lead.

Does that make sense Simon?

@DNP: NOT my name. It's owned by Scott Richter. He owns lots of nice numerics, including *several* NN.com's last I checked.

This sold for 20K less than 1 year ago on sedo. Talk about a nice return if this actually does sell again.

In the years to come there will be no better ROI on any category of domain names than numerics, and that process has already begun. A good analysis of the background for why that will be the case is here:

Nice try. You're forgetting about generic .com's

Actually I'm not. Generic .com's are awesome things, but most of them are *already* priced at really high levels, so even if they go up I don't think it will be as extreme. And, even if they do go up, there's one more *super* important factor to keep in mind: liquidity.

Just because Vodka.com sold for $3M doesn't mean every prime .com can now be unloaded whenever you want for the cost of small private jet. I know folks with prime generics who have been trying to sell them "for what they are really worth" for half a decade. By contrast, the numeric and short domain name .com markets in general are highly liquid.

I see where you're going with this. But I wasn't even thinking of vodka when I put out this comment. Personally I think vodka was VERY overpaid for, and I don't even consider vodka.com a generic domain.

A lot of NN.com are also priced VERY high, especially on sedo.

Actually that one helps prove my point. I've seen lots of mentions of that auction all over the forums, yet it has a single bid and will probably end on just one bid. Which means that the owner had finally gotten a great end-user bid, and thought maybe he could get some more by entering it in to sedo's auction (they let you enter names into auction starting with the highest current bid you've received and no reserve). But that's probably not going to happen.

According to a WHOIS history report, the same person has owned rex.com since at least 2001, so perhaps he's had it for a decade or more. Which means that to get nice fat "market" prices when you sell your generics you need to be prepared to wait a *long* time for the right buyer to come along.

In contrast it looks like 06.com finished with 20 bids from 11 different bidders.

Let's wait for sedo to publish the sale.

0N.com name for over $200k will come within 3 years. It is not easy to get 0N.com from market.

0N have meaning such as hour & date & month etc.....

01.com is very easy remember than NN.com such as 73.com. 00.com to 09.com have 10 domain names only.

I almost bid on it for my birthday ----- 2006... just kidding

Maybe, or maybe not. Although the market for numeric domains is very influenced by Asian buyers, Western buyers tend to prefer numbers which don't start with "0", which is why 0NN.com names are worth significantly less to resellers than non 0 NNN names.

Certainly looks like value is increasing for NN's:

Interesting to see that list of public sales. I know of a handful of private sales which confirm the steep upward trend and then some. There were still some decent bargains to be had just a couple years ago. Now I wish I had bought more than one of them back then

I'd still pick up more NN.com's at todays prices if I had a few hundred large to throw around.

[bigbobm]

Recent sales of numerics on:
NNNN.com $300- $1250 (snapnames)
5000 com $14,000 Apr 07 sedo
3000 com $12,000 Feb 07 sedo

The demand on NNN.com is much greater.
