Results From Sedo's 2nd .AT Auction Are In & The Big ROTD/NameJet NamesCon Auction is Underway

As we previously noted Sedo scheduled three auctions of short .AT domain names this month. Our report on results from the first one is here and the second one just ended Monday (November 22) with another impressive list of sales. .AT is Austria's official ccTLD but, unlike some country code domains, .AT names can be purchased by anyone. 

Sedo said thousands of bids came in from around the world on nearly 400 domains in the latest  auction. The top ten sales alone totaled €79,242 ($83,996 at today's exchange rate). Here's a list of those top sellers:

6.at

11,001 €

i.at

10,100 €

jt.at

10,000 €

5.at

9,200 €

me.at

7,505 €

ö.at

7,400 €

qr.at

6,600 €

if.at

6,100 €

4.at

5,900 €

l.at

5,436 €

Sedo's third and final auction in the series is open now with lots closing next Monday, November 28. Some of the top names in the catalog for this final sale includes wh.at, r.at, s.at, sw.at, v.at as well as  numerics with meaning in the Chinese culture like 7.at and  8.at.

While Sedo's auction series is finishing up, NameJet and RightOfTheDot have just launched a big live and online domain auction they are once again staging in conjunction with the annual NamesCon conference in Las Vegas where the 2017 show will run January 22-25. The live event will be held on January 23rd from 3PM-6PM Pacific time but the online auction is  open now.

A joint press release about the event said, "The auctions will feature some of the best .com and new gTLD names available anywhere including a super premium bundled lot featuring BAR.COM, BAR.NET, CAFES.COM, GRILL.COM, PLACE.COM, PUB.COM SHELTER.COM, and other individual 

premium and super premium names such as LEADS.COM, SPORTSCARS.COM, PATTY.COM, STOP.COM, WINECLUB.COM, GOLD.CLUB, SINGLE.COM, E.HOSTING, MORTGAGE.BROKER, PPL.NET, and others."

"There will be an estimated 400 names in the overall auction with an estimated 125 domains being offered at the live auction on January 23rd. Many premium domains will be priced at no and low reserves to promote competitive bidding and true market prices."

The last two NamesCon auctions resulted in over $3.5 million in sales. For those interested in placing names in the auction, the release also noted, "Additional domain names will be considered for inclusion by submitting names at http://rotd.com/auction-submission/. Please note that only ultra-premium names will be considered. Accepted names will be added continually to pre-bidding before the start of NamesCon so you will want to check the auction page often for new additions and bidding activity."
