[dnbknowledge]

The 8 auctions you can see on Auctionpus.com now started on the 2nd of May and will end on Monday (May 16) at 2 PM EST (~3 days and 4 hours left at the moment of writing), here are the domains:

DatingBook.com

Need we say more? As you guys know, we own one of the best dating portfolios out there and out of all dating domains, DatingBook.com is the one for which we have received the most offers by far. In fact, we received an offer which represented 2x the reserve we're listing it at approximately one year ago but we were not interested in selling our dating domains back then and the offer in question is no longer valid, c'est la vie. Our loss, your gain. DatingBook.com has a reserve between $20,000 and $25,000.

Personals.biz

The best possible domain for an "online personals" site which caters to the needs of entrepreneurs and business minded people in general. We wanted to develop Personals.biz as well as Dating.biz initially but ended up focusing on projects not related to dating instead, which is why we ultimately decided to sell. Personals.biz has a reserve between $10,000 and $15,000.

PUA.tv

"PUA" (which means Pick Up Artist) is the most popular seduction-related term by far. Since more and more Pick Up Artists are focusing on videos these days, dot TV represents the ideal TLD for a PUA website. This domain USED TO have a mid-high 3 figure premium renewal fee but after Verisign's March 2010 policy change, it is now a STANDARD RENEWAL domain. PUA.tv has a reserve between $4,000 and $5,000.

Daniel.tv

Let's just say we're 100% sure that each and every person who reads this knows at least one Daniel. According to official statistics, over 1,000,000 people are called Daniel in the US alone, an insanely popular first name. This domain USED TO have a mid-high 3 figure premium renewal fee but after Verisign's March 2010 policy change, it is now a STANDARD RENEWAL domain. Daniel.tv has a reserve between $1,000 and $1,500.

FashionForMen.com

What better domain for a fashin site that caters to the needs of men... than FashionForMen.com? FashionForMen.com has a reserve between $500 and $1,000.

EngagementJewelry.com

People will always spend LOTS of money on engagement jewelry, this much is certain, and it should come as no surprise that your average earnings per click will be impressive to say the least. EngagementJewelry.com has a reserve between $500 and $1,000.

GoldJewelry.net

Do we really have to explain why the gold jewelry industry is extremely lucrative? Of course not, so we'll just limit ourselves ot saying that GoldJewelry.net has a reserve between $2,000 and $2,500.

DiamondRing.net

A diamond ring is not exactly cheap. In fact, lots of people spend a small fortune on one and your average earnings per click will reflect that. DiamondRing.net has a reserve between $2,000 and $2,500.

Dullard.com

One of the best domains we've ever auctioned, it speaks for itself and represents the best possible choice for a viral/humor site. Jokes, funny images, something like the "Epic Fail" concept and so on, the sky is the limit when it comes to possible uses. Dullard.com has a reserve between $4,000 and $5,000.

Seduction.tv

The seduction industry is extremely lucrative to say the least. Millions upon millions of men are interested in becoming better with women and this will never change. For this reason, the seduction niche will always be in the spotlight. This is one of the most video-centric industries out there because, now more than ever, visitors want to see video case studies, video presentations and so on. For this reason, the .tv TLD repesents an excellent fit! Seduction.tv has a reserve between $2,500 and $3,000.

ForumPosts.com

The Internet is maturing but some things such as email and forums will never change, at least not fundamentally. There will always be demand for forum posting services and this domain automatically helps you brand yourself as an authority. ForumPosts.com has a reserve between $500 and $1,000.

Q.pe

Peru (.pe), with a population of 28,836,700, is definitely NOT just some random tiny island. On the one hand, Q.pe is the shortest domain on the market at this point and that gives you a HUGE edge if you want to start an URL shortener. On the other hand, it represents an amazing ccTLD investment. Everyone wants a piece of the .pe market, find just one business owner who wouldn’t want this baby: we dare you! Q.pe has a reserve between $1,000 and $1,500.

Furniture-related keywords always have impressive CPCs and this gem is just waiting to be turned into an ecommerce store or even an AdSense website. AudioCabinet.com has a reserve between $400 and $500.

MiniGolf.mx

With a population of 106,350,434, the Mexican market is definitely extremely attractive and let's just say that people would not be surprised if a domain like MiniGolf.mx will be sold to an end user for a record-breaking amount in the future. MiniGolf.mx has a reserve between $500 and $1,000.

I thought this place would of been finished by now but well done for keeping it going,it must be hard work?

 

[james2002]

I think it is better to change the tile which mentions "low or no reserve". It's no longer the case. There are mid x,xxx or higher reserved domains in the lists?

I thought this place would of been finished by now but well done for keeping it going,it must be hard work?

Switching to bi-weekly auctions (so only 16 auctions per month, two sets @ 8 auctions each) was a very smart decision for two reasons:

1) I don't have to submit 8 auctions each day and we're FINALLY seeing consistent sales via auctions (up until this point, domains were pretty much only selling through the marketplace, so it was clear to me that we needed to only list the best domains we're able to offer through the auctions in order to convince people to drop by on a regular basis). We're never going to sell $200k in domains per week or whatever and I understand that. As long as I see sales and win-win situations, I'm satisfied.

2) We're offering high quality domains through our auctions (we will only list the best domains we have access to through our 16 monthly auctions) and affordable but still investment grade domains at $65 each through the marketplace: the best of both worlds, so to speak.

I think it is better to change the tile which mentions "low or no reserve". It's no longer the case. There are mid x,xxx or higher reserved domains in the lists?

Yep, that's how things will always be from now on: the best domains will be auctioned (16 auctions per month, 2 sets at 8 auctions each) and 500 - 1,000 more affordable but still investment grade domains will be available at our marketplace ($65 each).

I wish Adam all the best with his new project but ShowcaseManager.com and Auctionpus.com have completely different business models. We simply take the best domains we have access to, a very limited number (only 16 per month), and auction them. As I'm sure you can agree, the quality of our inventory has gone up dramatically since we switched to bi-monthly auctions. We're even auctioning blockbuster domains such as Fanboys.com at reseller prices these days, it's all a matter of generating win-win situations.
