When
the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
conference announced
a new partnership
with
Rick
Latona Auctions that made Latona's
company the sole provider of live domain auction
services for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. shows, people
wondered how Oversee's Moniker.com
would respond. After
|
|
pioneering
the live auction platform at
T.R.A.F.F.I.C., Moniker lost the
opportunity to sell there when the
Latona deal was announced. Last night we
found out at least part of what is next
for Moniker when Oversee announced a new
monthly online domain auction
that will combine the resources of
Moniker and their sister company SnapNames.com
with the sales events being held on a
new and improved platform at
SnapNames.com.
The first
auction of the series, entitled "Summer
Stimulus," begins July 16
at 12 noon U.S. Pacific time (3pm
Eastern) and
|
|
|
concludes July
21 at 12:15 p.m. Pacific
(3:15pm Eastern). Subsequent auctions
will begin the second Tuesday of
every month and end two days later
on the second Thursday. Oversee said the
sales will feature low or no reserve
pricing. The catalog for the first
auction can be seen here.
To submit a
domain name for their future monthly
auctions, go to http://showcase.snapnames.com
where you will also find a calendar of
upcoming events. The deadline for
submitting names for the August showcase
auction is July 28.

With
the auction competition heating
up Bido.com
served noticed that they intend
to be among the major players
when they unveiled a slick new
makeover today. To their
credit Bido has brought several
fresh and unique twists to the
auction game with a bevy of interactive
features that come bundled
in an exceptionally attractive
interface. They call it the
"Social Auction"
platform which sums up their
approach very well. |
|
The
new look will soon be
complemented with multiple
daily auctions instead of
the one-a-day format the company
started with. Bido
Co-Founder Sahar Sarid
provided more details about the
changes at Bido in a post on his
blog
today. |
