York, a remarkable
number of high quality domains are being offered for sale
over the next seven days. The GreatDomains online auction
started yesterday with Fly.com, Bicycle.com
and Planet.com among the domains on the block.
Their auction will end next Thursday (Sept. 25) and
Sedo will be hosting an auction closing champagne
celebration at their T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference booth at 1pm
on the 25th.
A couple of months ago we
heard rumors from credible sources that Sedo would likely
be one of the live auction presenters at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.,
however the company's Chief Operating Officer, Jeremiah
Johnston said, “Contrary to the speculation that
Sedo would be one of the auctioneers at the upcoming
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Conference, we’ve decided to focus our
resources on our high-performing online auctions." |

Though Sedo
is out of the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. mix, Aftermarket.com
and RickLatona.com
will be joining Moniker.com
in presenting live auctions next week. Moniker, who was
the sole live auctioneer at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. prior to the
upcoming event, will run two auctions in New York. Moniker
and Rick Latona have both announced their final auction
catalogs (available through their links above) and
Aftermarket.com has whittled their list down to the prime
contenders that were released on the DomainTools.com
blog yesterday.
Latona
introduced a new wrinkle by allowing bidders to start
bidding online a week before their Sept 24th live auction
in New York. The hammer on all of their domains will drop
there on the 24th (the same day Aftermarket.com's sale
will be held). It's going to be very interesting to
see how the multiple sales fare and we will of course be
there to cover it all for you.
