2018 Sept 20 – 321 Auction Domains

Yesterday was a great day for auctions in terms of names .. today by comparison is a little underwhelming. Maybe it’s also because I’m a little tired and didn’t go as deep into today’s domains as I usually do? But some days are just better than others.

In a funny bit of timing, there was a significantly higher number of “traffic” domains today. With that I’ll stress again that my lists are intended as a tool and starting point to bring awareness to notable and interesting domains at auction. I can’t stress enough that some of them should not be registered as a domainer, then for other domains it still depends on the price.

The information and data shared are NOT certified in any way. There are many steps in my process and there’s always a small chance that: I copy/pasted wrong; that my file got corrupted; that the original data was wrong; that the original data was tricked. If the statistics provided are an important part of your reasons for buying a domain then is up to you to do your own research to make sure everything is accurate, and that the domain has enough resale value to justify your purchase.

I rarely buy domains based on traffic data. In fact, I rarely buy names based on most stats. I’m not going to say whether or not doing so is good or bad, however, do make sure you inform yourselves and learn about all the various data points of domains, and how they might or might not be reliable or not depending on the source.

2018 Sept 20 – 963 Closeout Domains

I posted a huge number of domains going to auction earlier today. A lot were taken, but there still are quite a few that made it to $11 closeout, which is why the list is much longer than usual.

I wanted to post the Closeouts earlier this evening, but was super tired all day and just crashed out until about an hour ago. Hopefully I’ll be a bit more productive tonight and tomorrow!

2018 Sept 19 – 436 Auction Domains

A serious great auction day today. Huge list with some solid names. I haven’t personally had my eyes on as many domains as I do today in several months. Definitely take your time to go through the full list today!

Also a larger number of domains with traffic than usual today. Although I didn’t really notice any unusual pattern and any particular niche out of the ordinary. With a couple of exceptions I rarely base my purchases on reported traffic and parking revenue as you can’t necessarily take them for granted that they will continue to generate traffic or revenue after you buy them. That being said .. I have been lucky a few times and had domains that brought me a very nice parking revenue stream for quite some time after purchase. But definitely if you see a domain name I tagged with “Traffic” and/or “Parking Revenue”, then click on the domain link to check out the specific numbers being reported, as well as do a little more research to see if that data makes sense to you.

2018 Sept 18 – 337 Auction Domains

I’ve realised that around this time of “night” I often use the term “tomorrow’s list” and that it might confuse some of you. For me “tomorrow” is technically after I wake up. But I’m up quite late at night (it’s currently 5:30am in Montreal / Eastern Time Zone), so just bear that in mind when I say “tomorrow”. The best thing to do to figure out what list I’m posting is simply to assume it’s for the upcoming auction day .. so in this particular case in a little over 6 hours from now.

For closeouts it’s a bit different, as the names are already at closeout, so it’s important for you to check the list as soon as you can to grab the best domains before anyone else. Sometimes names disappear and reappear (would take too long to explain everything here), so if a name you want isn’t available try again in a few hours. Unfortunately most of the time they do not reappear as someone ended up buying it.

Also important to note is that while sometimes I try to get ahead a few days in going through the expiration lists, I always do a last minute scan of domains with bids (just in case there aren’t notable new domains with bids that didn’t have bids a day or two earlier). So the freshness of the bid count will depend on when I post the list. That’s why I used to try to post shortly before auction start time. But that’s really created a little too much chaos in my life and I’ve found myself really burnt out with all my other issues going on in the real world (significant water damage in my condo is one of the handful of things on my plate). So I’ll likely be posting more often sometime before going to bed. Particularly after the clocks go back, as GoDaddy Auctions don’t change their clocks, so auctions will start one hour earlier in a few weeks for those who do adjust our clocks.

In the next few weeks I’m going to try to get a mailing list going. Maybe even a priority list for those of you who actually use the links. Still overloaded with life issues, so it’s slow but steady going forward.

Anyhow .. speaking of being tired … Zzzzzz
