There are a few on which I will bid.

**chillking** · 02-17-2009, 12:11 PM

The odds are most domains will get sold they have a 80% sell thru rate the highest sell-thru rates in the industry unlike moniker or greatdomains .

**jhansen** · 02-17-2009, 01:23 PM

That's the full list?

Link isn't loading for me at the moment.

Thx

@jhansen, I had problems earlier today. I was at a different place, maybe firewall?

**chillking** · 02-17-2009, 01:53 PM

Hi guys yes this is the full list 50 names i had a chat with Susan Prosser the manager she give me the link for the list https://www.domaintools.com/domain-auctions/live/domainer-mardi-gras some more information below .

1. 0% Financing: In case you haven’t heard, you can finance the purchase of a name over $5,000 for a six month period. This is an old tool used by domainers to acquire better names than they can normally afford.
2. Smaller Inventory: Perhaps the best option at this time is to streamline and focus, so we have brought the total catalog down to fifty (50) select, premium names at below-market prices.
In doing so, we learned the smaller the lot, the more focused and stingy you have to be on quality and price and value. A lot of price negotiation went on behind the scenes - it was a matter of being able to easily replace any name with off-kilter pricing. In this case, less is more.
The end result, we feel, is one of the best catalogs we’ve seen in eons - many of these names have not seen the light of day since their registration. These are category killers, premium generics, brandable generics, ‘no reserve’ names, keyword-rich and alternate extensions. No stone was, indeed, left unturned in order to find something for all levels.
Here is the catalog breakdown, as you can see, creating balance in opportunity was also central:
12 No reserve domain names
7 Domains under $2500
9 under or at $5000 - 0% financing kicks in at $5000
3 under or at $10,000
7 under or at $25,000
2 under $50,000
2 over $100k

**jhansen** · 02-17-2009, 02:01 PM

That's quite disappointing, as I (objectively, honest) submitted a couple names that are far superior in terms of value/resale than a few on the list (Heal.tv?!?! GasCash.com??? Really?), and I was never contacted regarding a drop in reserve price or anything of that sort. Oh well.

Thx for the update!

-Justin

**chillking** · 02-17-2009, 02:07 PM

I submitted 20 names 1 got through and they suggested a lower reserve . I agree with you with heal.tv I think Favorites.com is good but very expensive.

**jhansen** · 02-17-2009, 02:11 PM

Congratulations to you on DNSales, I didn't even notice the connection there.

**chillking** · 02-17-2009, 02:13 PM

Thanks allot i need it lol all's i have done this year is spend on domains.

**FreddyS** · 02-18-2009, 06:15 AM

I submitted approx 50 and only voodoo com was accepted.
its is by far the best in my submitted list, but I think as well that the list could be a bit more attractive, but no one of us need to bid on all.
I think most of the names will get bids.

**chillking** · 02-18-2009, 06:19 AM

voodoo.com is top i hope you sell it good luck mate .

thank you! Normally I would have not put it in auction, but it fits good to New Orleans.

**WebBrands** · 02-18-2009, 03:58 PM

Just curious - what do you guys think would have been a proper reserve for:

CoolRings.com (jewelry or phone ringtones)

for this DMG auction?

Might be fun to throw out a few names that were submitted and compare our opinion with how the committee ruled. What do you think?
