Aftermarket.com - 50 Premium Domains? Right….

September 19th, 2008

Domaintools is at the live auction market once more, this time with a 50 domain premium auction (Scheduled for Sept 24th during the TRAFFIC conference) They were supposed to be releasing the list on Sept 17th, but instead released a “sneak peak” list of about 30 domain names. Needless to say, there are some “interesting” picks.

Overall, the list looks sub-par, for not just a Domaintools auction, but compared to the Rick Latona and Moniker Auctions, pretty embarassing.

So, what went wrong? Domaintools hired a third party company, DomainConsultant.com to evaluate the domain names, and determine which ones made the grade. Either DomainConsultant did a rotten job or the submissions for this auction were awful. Either way, this auction is looking to be a bust.

When a domain name like NameLender.com  makes it on a list of the Top 50 of “Thousands and Thousands” of submissions, your not going to have the quality supply of domains you want.

Best of luck to DomainTools/Aftermarket.com - your going to need it.

  1. I saw this on http://www.SubliminalMessages.Com and wanted to ask what did you realistically expect? Sex.com to be listed with no reserve?

    Of course, these will be the lesser desireable names. Obviously, the good ones are scheduled for development.

  4. Sam,

    I did expect since they hired an outside consulting firm to see a decent list of domain names. Wife.com and Husband.com are great and there are some other gems on there, but frankly, lots of the names on the list leave me scratching my head.

  5. I personally like openings.com for job site or even use subdomain job.openings.com. peephole.com is a good one but probably more adult than I’d be comfortable with. Does seem many, including myself, were expecting something better.
