Upcoming E.co Auction powered by Sedo

[SedoCoUk]

sedo will support the highly anticipated introduction of the .CO top level domain name (TLD) by powering an historic charity auction for E.CO.

The auction, which runs from June 7 at 12 pm EDT to June 10 at 4 pm EDT, will be hosted by .CO Internet S.A.S. at Internet Week, a festival in New York City celebrating all things Internet.

The last hour of bidding – June 10 from 3-4 pm EDT -- will be conducted live from Internet Week’s broadcast stage and simulcast at both the Internet Retailer (Chicago) and TRAFFIC (Vancouver) shows, allowing conference attendees at all three events and online participants from around the world to be a part of the action. All proceeds will go to the charity of the buyer’s choice.

The .CO extension has been named one of the most highly anticipated domain launches since .COM, because of the infinite opportunities it provides Internet users, and its instant appeal given short, meaningful names are so rare and difficult to obtain. Considered a unique and exciting alternative to the .COM extension, .CO has many potential uses for Internet users looking to build or expand their brand online.

The E.CO auction marks the beginning of a new era online -- it is the very first .CO domain auction available, providing Internet users with a limited opportunity to purchase one of the shortest, most meaningful domain names in the world. Domain names of this nature are highly valuable because they are more memorable and extremely rare, presenting an incredible branding opportunity for marketers to successfully build or extend their web presence.

Why not offer it to the Dot Eco initiative? http://www.supportdoteco.com
They are, after all, going after .eco
Isn't the .co registry adamant about trademark protection?

One of the best domain hacks available, hope it reaches its full potential in the auction (my guess is 7 figures - even in todays economic climate).

7 figures?

[Bill Roy]

7 figures?

Yes, $1million plus.

[KING dot NET]

I'll go for $100K

[bmugford]

I'll bet that whatever it sells for, it will never sell for a higher price. The initial auction prices on new extensions are generally among the worst investments as there are so many newbies who think it is their ticket to wealth.

I guess, the money they generate in .co registration still not enough so here's e.co auction ...

I agree with Acro. If they give this one domain to doteco it's a good publicity, a win-win for both party.

Yes, $1million plus.

I'm taking bets

Seriously it's a nice domain but nobody spends 7 figures on domain hacks.

[bmugford]

I seriously doubt it will sell for six figures, let alone seven figures. Considering Eco.org sold for about $50K recently, which is much better, I just don't see that for a domain hack.

Brad

Yes, $1million plus.

[Hyphen]

This won't hit 7 figures. If it does, it's because of the hype and in any other situation it wouldn't touch close.

[kevmacmeh]

Being a single letter investor with 72 one letter domain names, I hope it goes for big bucks!

I can see it going for around $75k

[JB Lions]

So it's on - http://sedo.com/auction/eco/auction_...d=&language=us

Brad,

This is very true, I couldn't agree more.

I'll bet that whatever it sells for, it will never sell for a higher price. The initial auction prices on new extensions are generally among the worst investments as there are so many newbies who think it is their ticket to wealth.

What ever it sells for its going to be a bad investment! For that type of money you can buy premium .coms!

[katherine]

RIght now there are just 7 bidders and less than 2 days to go.

Current Bid:
20,000 USD
Reserve met!

Buzz alone does not produce 7-figure sales.

[JB Lions]

Yeah, doesn't look like it'll hit 7 figures unless we have some big bids coming at the end, sitting at 42,000 USD, with a half hour to go. Ended, 81,000 USD
