Sedo.com
will conduct their 1st ever No Reserve Online Domain
Auction starting at 1pm February 26
and ending at the same time on March 5. No
reserve sometimes produces a low quality catalog, but
this event, specializing in .com, .net and
.uk domains, will include solid names like Deposits.com,
Wait.net and Ran.co.uk.

Sedo COO
and General Counsel Jeremiah Johnston said,
“Our No Reserves auction presents an excellent
opportunity to acquire a highly valuable, mainstream
domain at an affordable price, as buyers are not
restricted to a pre-determined value set by the seller.
In these tough economic times, this is a rare chance to
obtain the ideal descriptive domain that can drive much
more traffic to your online business and significantly
increase profits.”
The auction
will also give sellers a chance to liquidate their
unused domains and with Sedo's marketing muscle behind
the event, the names entered will get above average
exposure. Sedo is still accepting
|
|
|
domains for this
auction event. For more information on seller
criteria for the No Reserve Auction, domain owners can
contact Sedo Broker Matthew Rosebrook at [email protected].
Qualifying sellers can
also apply directly through their Sedo account.

night party at the Playboy Mansion Jan. 29 |
In case you missed
the link on the home page, DN Journal's definitive
review of the 2009 DOMAINfest
Global Conference in Hollywood, California
was published last night. The event ran Jan. 27-30
at the Renaissance Hotel (the same hotel
currently being seen on the world's most popular
TV show, American Idol. The singers
who made Idol's Hollywood week finals
stayed at the Renaissance which is adjacent to the
Kodak Theater where the competition is
staged).
Our DOMAINfest Global
review is packed with previously unreleased photos
(many from the |
|
spectacular Playboy
Mansion Party that served as the event’s
grand finale) plus loads of inside conference
info. You can get all of the details here: Triumph
in Tinseltown: DOMAINfest Global 2009 Raises the
Conference Bar. |

One other note today,
veteran domainer Theo Develegas has opened
a new domain news aggregation site at DNGator.com.
There are already several good news aggregation
sites out there, including Francois
Carrillo's very popular Domaining.com,
so Develegas took a minimalist approach
with DNGator. Sgt. Joe Friday from Dragnet
would have loved it because the quick-loading site
offers just the facts ma'am. |
