Domainer Mardi Gras Auction Afterparty - ‘No Reserve’ Names, Habitat for Humanity Invited
From DomainConsultant.com
What’s an after party without those great, fun ‘No Reserve’ names to add some fresh fever and flavor to the mix? Aftermarket.com and DomainConsultant.com are proud to announce the addition of ten high-quality, keyword-rich domains - at the perfect price! This includes premiums like Engrossing.com, HealthyMenu.com, PhotoPapers.com, Music365.com, Operable.com, CozumelIsland.com, BathMirrors.com and more.
These names have been added to an auction that already includes premium generics like RentalVillas.com, Mahogany.com, GolfSet.com, Pho.com, DNSales.com and more- many with 0% financing available (denoted with * below).
Third-Party Valuations Included
In an effort to help identify value, we chose third-party data and comparables aggregator Estibot.com (with which we have no affiliation) to provide snap valuations for each name in the inventory.
The result is we found some of the names valued below price, yes (brandables rarely produce good comparable figures) but also noticed that most of the names are being offered at figures well-below their current market value and resale potential. Valuation figures are included next to prices and should be used as informational only - not as set valuation.
Here is the current rundown of availability with fresh comments from DC analysts plus Estibot valuations:

New Notes |
| Mahogany.com |
$25,000.00 |
$88,000.00 |
$2 bids, lots of ads - $88,000 valuation. Mountains of resale value on this name - huge buyer pool for a RARE brandable AND premium generic. |
| Pho.com* |
$25,000.00 |
$75,000.00 |
Rare, uncompromising LLL that looks and sounds good and has lots of advertisers. VERY popular restaurant/dish in many areas. Financing available. |
| xxxFilms.com |
$10,000.00 |
$460.00 |
Few things still do well in adult but adult video and dvd stores and VOD sites are one of them. They still convert, this is a major term in a segment that produces lots of return customers. |
| CustomSites.com* |
$15,000.00 |
$2,600.00 |
Major brandable for template service or design and development firm - priced right for industry margins, financing makes ROI short and efficient. |
| MovieBuff.com |
$15,000.00 |
$1,800.00 |
The e-commerce potential for known term such as this is massive. Consider posters and memorabilia, videos, apparel and more. Name for the most loyal of a massive global industry. |
| Credenzas.com |
$13,500.00 |
$35,000.00 |
TONS of advertisers on a very specific, targeted industry domain. Valued at $35,000 and previously priced much higher. This is someone liquidating, take advantage! |
| Golfset.com* |
$4,500.00 |
$26,000.00 |
Frequent term for a set of clubs - many advertisers, rare seven L golf domain. With 0% financing too! Valued at $26,000. |
| TheFrenchQuarter.com |
$24,000.00 |
$5,100.00 |
I imagine the cost of anything with a roof in The French Quarter (correct saying) is far more than this name. Sell one property and recoup. |
| VirtualServer.com |
$50,000.00 |
$77,000.00 |
One of the best domains in the offering (beyond voodoo.com) - $6 bids, $80k valuation. Emerging, growing and spreading - likely never see this name as affordable again. |
| GoCart.com |
$75,000.00 |
$180,000.00 |
Lots of usage and frequency, traffic and potential sales - big ad term and commercial marketplace. |
| ElectronicToys.com |
$33,000.00 |
$110,000.00 |
More ads on this name than any other in the auction. Better ads, better advertisers, better price and value than that ‘other’ one. |
| DownandDirty.com |
$5,000.00 |
$19,000.00 |
Seriously, for $5k - this is a great, known and recognizable term asking to be a hip brand. Resale value galore on names like these. |
| Trays.com* |
$25,000.00 |
$120,000.00 |
Valued at over $120,000 because of the sheer size and scope of the marketplace. Lots of ad competition - with financing too! |
| RentalVillas.com* |
$9,000.00 |
$9,600.00 |
Phenomenal two-worder covering a vast and profitable travel biz. Advertisers and financing to boot. |
| DNSales.com* |
$5,000.00 |
$1,200.00 |
With DnJournal, DNNews, DnForum, etc. - where is this name? Has likely traffic and financing is available! |
Here is the new guest list for the after party but don’t forget - it all ends Friday, February 27th at 4:00pm CST. Bidding is now open on these NR names.

Notes |
| Music365.com |
NO RESERVE |
$110.00 |

| EducationCreditUnion.com |
NO RESERVE |
$5,700.00 |

| HealthyMenu.com |
NO RESERVE |
$620.00 |
All sorts of big potential for this type of recognizable, relevant phrase used regularly - one of these days someone will release a ‘healthy menu’ and it will blow up. |

$3,300.00 |
Nice niche term with advertisers. Could be used for Realestate, Legal docs, or even domain broker/buyer services |

Great sounding, positive 1 word domain that has brand potential in many sectors, medical, building trades, engineering, and IT. |
| BathMirrors.com |
NO RESERVE |
$4,900.00 |
Top-level and keyword-rich with nice search volume, ads and resale value. |
| CozumelIsland.com |
NO RESERVE |
$10,000.00 |
Haven’t seen a destination at NR - ever! Perfect for development, sponsors and travel niche. SEO value to boot. |
Each Domain Sold Benefits Habitat for Humanity
Building on the success of raising over $1000 in donations with the Mardi Gras gift packages benefiting the local Habitat for Humanity, we thought we’d continue the effort and donate a portion of each name sold to this worthwhile and highly needed cause. We are donating $100 for each No Reserve domain sold - no matter what the sales amount is. If we sell each of the 10 additional domains, that will be an additional $1000 for Habitat for Humanity!
Many who were in NOLA were affected by some of the conditions, including us - so we’d like to do more. You can do more too by visiting Habitat for Humanity - New Orleans website.
After Party Ends Friday, February 27th at 4:00CST
Bidding is open! To bid on any of these premium names, simply login or register before it all ends at 4:00pm CST on February 27th, 2009 and everyone is sent home.
