RightOfTheDot and NameJet on Wednesday announced the release of the initial list of ultra-premium domain names up for pre-bidding before the live, in-person and online domain name auction at NamesCon Global 2019, the largest annual domain-industry conference.
The live domain auction takes place on January 28, 2019, from 4 pm – 7 pm PST at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pre-bidding and the extended auction will take place on the NameJet.com auction platform found at namejet.com/featuredauctions/liveauction.
The auction will feature some of the best domain names available, including “leads.com,” “give.com,” “drone.com,” “texasholdem.com,” “cellularphones.com,” “qo.com,” “prize.com,” bride.com,” “sucks.com,” “broker.com,” “domainnames.com,” “tablets.com” and many more, including several super-premium non-.com domains such as “mortgage.pro,” “chinese.restaurant,” ”boater.club” and “newyork.pizza.” There will be an estimated 400 names in the overall auction with an estimated 120 domains offered at the live auction.Last year’s auction resulted in the highest sale in NameJet’s history with “super.com” selling for a record-breaking $1.2 million, which has since been used to create a $50 million venture-capital fund for the video-game industry. Other notable sales from that auction include “great.com” for $900,000, “runner.com,” “fakenews.com” and “tees.com.”
“RightOfTheDot and NameJet have generated millions in revenue for our
clients and sold domain names never before available to a wide array of
established companies, start-ups and individuals,” said Monte Cahn,
RightOfTheDot’s president and director. “Continuing to raise the overall
value for the domain industry is our joint mission, and we look to
further that effort with this year’s list of fantastic domain names.”
“We are thrilled to once again partner with RightOfTheDot to support
the live domain auction at NamesCon,” said Jonathan Tenenbaum, general
manager of NameJet.
Many of the premium domains will be priced at no and low reserves to promote competitive bidding and true market prices. Additional domain names will be considered for inclusion by submitting names at rotd.com/auction-submission/. Only ultra-premium names will be considered.
A NameJet account is required to participate in the online and live
auctions. Bids for domains may be placed now on the NameJet website.
Accepted names will be added continually to pre-bidding before the start
of NamesCon so participants should check the auction page often for new
additions and bidding activity. Following the live auction, the online
auction will continue on the NameJet website for an additional 16 days,
closing on February 13.
