NamesCon

NamesCon extended auction results: 144 domains sold out of 359

The NamesCon extended auction ended on Namejet last week featuring the domain names that didn’t sell on the NamesCon 2017 live auction. Getting all the results was not easy to do…

NameJet and RightOfTheDot partnered again to provide the NamesCon domain auction.

Live auction

The live auction was held on the 22nd of January, 2017 at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas. 100 111 of the 143 lots were sold. Average price was $11,666. Highest selling domain name was single.com for $290k. On the New gTLD front, LUXURY.CLUB sold for $5,000. You can see all the results from the live auction here. (It was very challenging to post accurate results and I believe there are still some discrepancies in my published results.)

The auction total reported was higher that what my report has: “The NamesCon 2017 live auction was a great success with over $1,200,000 in sales and a 75% sell-through rate.”

I found 5 domains that did not sell on the live auction but did not make it to the extended one. I believe that these were sold immediately after the live auction at a price lower or at the reserve: UF.TV, FACTORY.NET, RAWO.COM, CATALLERGIES.COM, OCCUPIED.COM.

Extended auction

Highest selling domain of the extended auction was FreeChecking.com that sold for $7,100. There were 2-3 good deals in the sold domains.

Here are some stats of the extended auction:

  • There were 359 domains (or lots) in the auction
  • 144 of the domains were sold
  • 175 of the domains did not meet the reserve and 40 domains did not get any bids
  • Only 12 of the domains that had a reserve were sold
  • Sales total was $117,109
  • Average price was about $813
  • 36 of the domains sold for 4 figures while 11 sold for less than $100

  1. Man, the .net domains didn’t sell for anywhere near what I thought they would have. I guess the aftermarket is tough for .net domains.

  2. I’m interested to know which sold domains you thought were good deals.

  3. Ouch. DoctorLove.com sold for $1,500 at the 2016 Namescon and $673 at this year’s.

  4. Was this auction considered a success?
    I’m new to the domain game. So my experience is zilch,
    but only 144 of 359 names for a flagship auction event seems to be a bit low.

    Is this the normal rate of sales for an auction?

    • No, this was not a success. I think that there should not be an extended namescon auction. It is no different that the other namejet auctions. And it is misleading to the people submitting domains as they don’t know if their name is going to be on the live auction or the extended one.

  5. UPDATE: 2 more domains have been sold after the extended auction closed:
    Yea.com – $44,500
    Internetservices.com – $32,000
