I see Moniker auctions now charge $100 a sale plus commission if your name is not registered at Moniker before the auction. They picked 5 of my domains for the upcoming TRAFFIC silent auction. Four were ccTLS's and two are $99.95 each to renew.

Perhaps ccTLDs will become more valuable with this rule. Follow the money trail. Moniker will make money with that rule and promote selling ccTLD's in their auctions now. I think I like the idea because I am heavily invested in ccTLDS. What do you guys think? Good idea or bad?

I like Moniker escrow also I might add. Excellent service. I like everything about Moniker actually as they are helping us domainers substantially.

Hey Adatise

Just to clarify – The $100 fee is charged to you IF your domain is not at Moniker prior to the auction event. If your name(s) are selected for auction, having them at Moniker will only facilitate faster pay-outs to sellers, and provide buyers faster possession of the domain(s) they purchased. All of this can happen if/when the domain is here at Moniker. Names sold at auction (that aren’t at Moniker) will not be guaranteed delivery within 1-3 days vs. a name that is (already) registered here.

The only way Moniker can provide this type of quality service is to have access to the registrar. If your names are at Moniker or one of our “sister” registrars, we can control domain ownership, and provide you with a safe and reliable transition. Once payment clears, the domain(s) is transferred to the new owner and payment is made to the seller.

If you have any additional questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks

Moniker really has to make this rule in order to make things run smooth. I sold a ccTLD once at a Moniker auction and it took us darn near a week of hard work to get the transfer through and it never was really right (long story).

I will never buy a dot IM, IO, or dot SE domain again as transferring them is a pain is the neck and virtually takes an act of God to complete. I felt sorry for (Mike doing the transfer) because Moniker didn't make any money off the sale considering the man hours we put in for completion of the transfer.
