39 domains (out of 76) were sold at Domain Roundtable 2009 live auction in Washington, DC. Total sales grosses $498,100.
Top sales at the auction:
Contests.com $380,000
WeightTraining.com $19,000
CharmBracelet.com $12,500
BabySwing.com $12,000
Castaway.com $9,500
Schizophrenic.com $8,000
Bullfighter.com $5,500
The average price was $12,772 but excluding Contests.com it would be only $3,108. If you compare these results with DRT live auction in 2007, which totaled for $3.912,351 (167 out of 450 listed domains sold) and an average selling price of $23,427 – then you see that domain market in USA is really affected by the crisis.
On the other hand, auction results in 2008 were even worst – sales total reached just $400,000.
You can find full list of domains sold at the auction at DomainNameNews.com. I also used it as my source of information to write this post.
Extended bidding is now open for the Aftermarket.com auction. You can place your bid on any of the 188 domain names still up for grabs.
