ROTD
Announces 1st Group of Premium
Domains for Next Week's NamesCon
Auction, Pre-Bidding Open Now
|
As
we told you
at the end of August, the NamesCon
Online conference
coming up next week (Wednesday,
September 22 through Friday,
September 24) will feature three
separate domain auctions. The
marquee event will be the
traditional RightOfTheDot
(ROTD) live Premium Domain
Auction that is set to run Thursday,
Sept. 23, starting at 3PM U.S.
Eastern Daylight time). ROTD
just released a list of the
first group of premium
domain names that will be up for
sale and opened pre-bidding
on those names at ROTD.hibid.com.
After
receiving thousands of submissions
for the auction, ROTD selected
300-400 premium names for
pre-bidding, with new names being
added daily. At the end of the
pre-bidding period, 75-100
domains will be selected for
the live auction September 23.
That event will be broadcast live
from a professional video
streaming production studio in
South Florida. World
Champion Auctioneer Wayne Wheat
and RightOfTheDot President Monte
Cahn will run the sale that
will be live streamed on both the NamesCon
website and the ROTD
YouTube Channel. ROTD
provided this sampling of some of the premium names that are available for
bidding now:

To
participate, bidders must first register at https://rotd.hibid.com.
To place bids over $2,000, bidders must be verified so it’s
important not to wait until the last minute to register. Registration with
NamesCon Online is not required but is strongly encouraged. You can register
for the conference here.
RightOfTheDot
will also conduct an online extended auction starting on September
24th that will feature additional premium domains, along with those that did
not meet reserves in the live auction. That will be a timed auction without
an auctioneer. The first lots in the extended auction will begin closing on
Thursday, October 7, 2021, at 1:30 PM EDT.
