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.
