The last chance to register for MeetDomainers!

Daniel Dryzek — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 02:58:25 +0000

For the last few months me and my wife Agnes have been working pretty hard to make upcoming MeetDomainers the biggest and the best so far. Now is your turn!

In just a few days, one hundred specialists from Poland and abroad will meet to talk about domain names and alternative investments. There will be sessions dedicated to domains, wine, green energy and startups. Three-hour negotiation workshop is also a part of the event, as well as live domain auction. Check out our agenda!

After the conference, we invite you for a night in Opera Club sponsored by ZeroPark. Enjoy the evening with excellent food and drinks. Network and have fun!

Half of the domains in the Extended T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Miami Auction are .co

Daniel Dryzek — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 11:27:54 +0000

It was a little bit surprising to me to see 423 out of 796 domains (768 separate lots) listed in the Extended T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Miami Auction to be .co names. It will be interesting to see how many of them will sell.

Three .co names were sold in live auction in Miami (DayTrading.co $1,000, Alquiler.co $1,200, Coches.co $15,000) out of 37 that were listed for sale (I don’t count combos .com + .co).

More statistics of TLDs in the extended Rick Latona auction:

.co – 423 (53,1%)
.com – 131 (16,5%)
.cm – 73 (9,2%)
.tv – 56 (7,0%)
.net – 35 (4,4%)

NameDrive – A New Player On The European Domain Auction Market

Daniel Dryzek — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:38:14 +0000

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!

Daniel Dryzek — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:32:37 +0000

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.
