SNAPNAMES AUCTIONS
On August 13, 2015 SnapNames began offering dropping .CLUB names. Deleted names are offered for $69.00, and names with multiple bids go into a 3-day SnapNames Auction. September marks the first full month of SnapNames sales. NOTE: Toward the end of September SnapNames modified the way they present dropping names and while there is a “bidder” column, they no longer show the number of bids placed for a name. This is intended to benefit domain investors who uncover a “gem” and don’t want others to notice due to a bid.
During September 84 names sold with a single bid and 40 names completed auctions.
The highest auction price was $1,350 for 001.club and the average auction price was $267.05. A look at the top auctions shows that the demand for short numeric domains continues. Here are some of the top .CLUB auctions completed on SnapNames in September:
001.club $1,350
002.club $ 1,074
