Aron
Meystedt, the Founder and
Director of HA's new Domain
Name & Intellectual Property
Division, told us,
"The domaining community might
be curious as to why some names made
the auction and others did not. The
ultimate goal is to build this
division to where our client base of
over 850,000 affluent buyers
is excited about domain names. So,
you will notice many names that fit
the departments on the HA.com
website - coins,
currency, art, wine, comics, gold,
silver. Those are all categories
with affluent buyers."
Meystedt
also noted, "We picked less
ecommerce names this time and more
generic branding names that are
perfect for naming a company, a
product or a service. I
tried to select names that didn’t
require the pitch related to domain
investing and monetization - names
that our clients may like to buy and
use right away."
"With that said, there are
great deals for domainers in this
auction," Meystedt, who is
a |
domain
investor himself, added. "There
are over 10 three-letter .com
domains and nearly all of them
are at prices domain investors would
like. There are some solid
names for development as well as a
huge geographic name at a bargain
price, in my opinion. So, yes,
there are names for investors
in this auction!" |
