A couple of weeks ago we gave you a chance to make your best guess on where 27.com would close with the closest guess winning $50. We are giving you another chance at $50 by picking the closing price on 13.co. The 2N.co domain is expiring on Go Daddy and will close May 30. The domain is currently at $6,688. We will keep the comments open until Thursday at 3 p.m. Eastern time. The … [Read more...]

I have no clue, and I follow this market closely.

It looks like B.co (1 letter) to me, which I think devalues it due to potential confusion, but another buyer might think that makes it more valuable.

It'll probably be renewed anyway, so who cares?

It's a competition for fun and a prize for the winner.

Valuating is big part of domaining.

Even if you don't care about the prize, make as personal guess and challenge yourself.

That's my opinion anyway. Good luck whatever you decide.

Agreed, but this is not that. It's an expired domain name that'll most likely be renewed. I follow expired auctions very closely, as I'm sure many of you do as well, and these are often renewed.

Before they get renewed, the owners have a tendency to bid against themselves on multiple accounts to raise the price, awareness, and buzz about the domain name before they renew it. That's not indicative of the value of the domain name.

There are also domainers (let's call this one John) who employ a similar strategy using two accounts, bidding the auction up far beyond its true value, so that when the highest bidder (John's first account) fails to pay, it's offered to the second highest bidder (John's second account) at a fraction of the price.

If you want to award $50 to a domainer for guessing a random number, then why not call it what it is? :)

A public auction with no reserve would be a different story. That'd be fun and make sense.

Absolutely. With any system there is always going to be abusers. You're a realist, I respect that.

Some people will see this competition as a bit of fun and some will take a similar stance to you.

C'est la vie.

I think there are more bogus bids in a public auction than there are in an expired auction. Not every expired auction gets renewed. This one probably will, it is just a way to give the readers some fun and a chance to win cash.

It would end up in figures between 11-12K my best guess -- But ultimately renewed :)
