PALM BEACH – What do you do when a live and online auction produces lackluster results? Why, you re-run it again a couple of months later (Just kidding – As soon as I saw the title of the email, Back by “Popular Demand”, I thought, yea right – but NUMBERS my friends, do not lie, and those numbers show that Domaining, is indeed very much alive and well; at least at NamesCon it is.)
Yesterday, NameJet.com and RightOfTheDot.com announced via email and a formal press release that the two would be re-running the 2019 NamesCon Global 2019 domain name auction which took place live in Las Vegas back in January.
According to the press release, last year’s auction (2018, not this year) resulted in the highest sale in NameJet history with “super.com” selling for a record-breaking $1.2 million. This year (2019) the NamesCon auction (both live and online) resulted in a total of $2.4 million in sales. Large sales were OL.com ($900k), LEADS.com ($435k) and category killer DomainNames.com ($370k).
Last year’s auction resulted in the highest sale in NameJet’s history with “super.com” selling for a record-breaking $1.2 million, which has since been used to create a $50 million venture-capital fund for the video-game industry. Other notable sales from that auction include “great.com” for $900,000, “runner.com,” “fakenews.com” and “tees.com.”
Back in the 2018 the NamesCon domain auction resulted in $1,578,350.00 from 77 domain sales without tallying the sale of Super.com which actually took place a month later and is attributed to NameJet.com. The year prior, 2017, tallied just $1,274,219.00 with a higher number of sales, at 131 transactions. However, 2019 shows a RESURGENCE in name buying by netting a total of $2,413,557.00 from 99 transactions.
After searching around for auction results over the past few years there were many sources which differed between which sales took place live and which took place afterwards via online bidding. For this reason, the auction results attributed to NamesCon were tallied using super-site NameBio which does an excellent job of not only keeping track of all domain name sale prices, venues, dates, etc., – but they also allow you to query the database in a multitude of ways. Fantastic site.
