NameDrive – A New Player On The European Domain Auction Market

June 16, 2010 at 7:38 pm · Filed under Domain auctions, ccTLD market ·Tagged , , ,

Looks like we have a new player on the Pan-European domain auction market. NDX Market auction of 3 letter .eu domains will end in the next 21 hours. Only one company was so far on this market and it was Sedo. Will NameDrive grow as a big domain auction and aftermarket Sedo competitor in Europe? Time will tell.

You need to be a certified member to bid on the auction and first you need to open an account too. Auction ends on 17 June 2010 at approximately 5pm CET.

All of the names have some bids, the minimum now is 20 EUR and most popular 3-letter .eu are now: hhz.eu 81 EUR, gze.eu 73 EUR and fzf.eu 66 EUR – not that much..

I am really happy to see some initiative from NameDrive in domain auctions field. Domaining (especially ccTLDs) needs new marketplaces to boost business and make it more live and vibrant. Good luck NDX Market and I am looking forward to new auctions coming soon! Maybe the first Central and Eastern European domain auction..?

    One- & Two-Character .DE Sedo Auction Ends Today!

    October 22, 2009 at 1:32 pm · Filed under Domain auctions, ccTLD market ·Tagged ,

    You probably heard the news about releasing one- & two-character .DE domain names. Names are listed on Sedo pre-auction site. Less than 4 hours left, so place your bids before it is too late. Winners in that auctions are not guaranteed to het their .de names but they will only have to pay if Sedo partner registrars get the names for them.

    “The Pre-Auction gives Sedo members an exclusive advantage to bid on 1, 2 and 3-character .de domains before they are released from DENIC, the official registry of the .de country code top-level domains (ccTLD). The .de domains include all letter and number combinations.”

    I would be surprised if many of the names were snapped up by Sedo partner registrars and delivered to the highest bidders.. but time will tell very soon.

    Very Nice 2-letter .pl Domain For Sale – LL.pl

    July 26, 2009 at 9:48 am · Filed under Domain auctions ·Tagged , , ,

    Only two days left to the end of LL.pl auction at Allegro.pl (Polish version of eBay).

    This is a great two letter .pl domain name (both letters are “L”) and the highest offer for now is only 20,000 PLN (~ 4900 EUR).

    I am not the owner of this domain and I do not profit in any way in selling it.
