Auction Results for last week

Domaintools GavelLast week was an interesting week for Domain Auctions. BuyUSA.com topped the charts and the typo of Facebook fetched $15,000. I wonder how long it will take Facebook to discover their typo is on the loose. Some long names sold like Breast Cancer Support Group and Thoroughbred Race Horses. It goes to show that even four word domain names fetch good prices when they totally define a huge category. CamelTeo was an interesting sale, apparently a lot of people spell toe, T E O. Frank Schilling reported publicly that he snores and that he also bought SnoringCure.com. It takes a big man to admit he snores.

Why else pay 140X for a name like snoringcure.com ($8,000+ at Snapnames.com today). It will be a frosty day in Hell when PPC revenues pay for that one, but I now own a great snoring name! I can sell products relating to the malady .. some of them may cure my snoring (much to my wife’s relief). It is generic, descriptive, easy to buy traffic for, easy to arbitrage - I could probably live off that one name! Man you gotta love domains.

We have asked other auction services to send us their Auction data. So far only Snapnames has sent us their data but we will report all sales data when receive them.

    […] Misspelled domain names are often sold at domain auctions. It may be cheaper to purchase your cybersquatted domain names than to fight to get them back. Or maybe you can stop the auction from happening. […]
