Domain Roundtable Auction Results April 2008
The auction has been slow starting, but there are spurts of activity. So far the most action has been on lot #82 - Retire(d).net, which sold to the room for $23,500.
Through 90 lots there’s been 20 sales for $82,970 total. More to come.
Through 160 lots 38 names have sold for a total of $177, 520
Here are the final results. Note, several domains were revisited after the gavel originally dropped.
83 Names sold for a total of $416,012.
That’s a tenth of the total $ and about half of the total number of domains from the first DomainTools.com auction in Seattle. Attendance was down considerably from last year. I’m sure that contributed to the lack of blockbuster sales. Last year saw three high five figure deals, four six figure deals as well as a million dollar winning bid on Rebate(s).com totalling $2.5m. This year those deals were conspicuously absent. The big winner this year was Debug.com at $25k. The average sale was just over $5k.

Aside from the numbers the auction moved much quicker than last year. I’m not sure about the future of Roundtable/DomainTools auctions. They are up against the juggernaut of Moniker/SnapNames. I like the idea of the Roundtable auctions because the auction agreement is much less restrictive than Moniker’s, but at the end of the day if the bidders aren’t showing up it isn’t going to matter.
