NamesCon domain name auction switches to GoDaddy

The NamesCon 2019 domain name auction is switching to GoDaddy as its auction platform.

It makes sense that the GoDaddy auction platform is replacing Namejet as GoDaddy is the owner of NamesCon.

Auction submissions are now OPEN for the NamesCon / RightOfTheDot live and online auctions January 28 – February 7, 2019.

The live/online auction is scheduled to start on Monday January 28 in Las Vegas at 4.15 pm local time. The live auction will end at 7 pm PST.

Pre-bidding will start in November 2018, with post-auction extended bidding running through February 7, 2019. Pre and Post Bidding will be available through GoDaddy.com. (Auction link not available at this time.)

(The RightOfTheDot is a bit confusing with different dates for the auction close and a few other inconsistencies so please do check back for exact dates and times. The Namejet logo needs to be replaced as well.)

Now all that is missing is a more objective selection of the domain names that are going into the auction.

Commission Fees (ROTD may at lower its commission to consummate a sale at approved net to seller):

25% of the final selling price on auction Domain submission; or

20% of agreed sale price if sold through private brokerage only.
