RL's Amsterdam Inventory, first half

[joned]

Just spotted this -

First half of Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Amsterdam auction inventory released | RickLatona.com

(not sure if this was the right section to post this, please feel free to move it Admin)

Quite a few .uk's in there. And I'd never heard of .cm til I read that

Cheers, Jon

Thanks Jon,

I submitted some domain names a while ago but they didn't get in, i thought they would have stopped taking them by now but they have not and i just submitted some more.



PS* you've got some mad extensions :lol:

Waste of my money although I am not attending i.e. via sponsors who suck PPC money to support this nonsenses.

I tried submitting a few names but failed (I wouldn't lower my reserves far enough).

Thanks Jon,

Yea, big keywords with mad extensions is a little pet project (recently got currencytrading.be). The "what the hell, let's take a punt" section of my portfolio!

Cheers, Jon

If you fire up a WHOIS on the .co.uk domains it looks like RL owns most of them!

Nothing wrong with that but I'm surprised that there aren't more from 3rd parties.

Will be interested to see the next tranche of domains when they are released.

I had wondered, what with the low reserves they insist on, and the fact that the insiders own a big proportion of the names on the final list, whether its some sort of insiders club obscured by all the hype, where they offload mainly their own names and can buy up all ours on the cheap after getting us to lower the reserves to give-away levels.

 

[Ging]

Looking at that list I can only assume they have some buyers already lined up to get them. Crablegs ????? Is that a domain that is really worth putting into an auction ?

 

[disruptive]

Auctions can often be the least transparent entities going....

I agree with most on the reserve issue. Putting a low reserve on your killer domain and there only being 3 people in the room and all thinking its an early xmas. Same sentiments for virtually all auctions formats unless there are lots of buyers who can the value of the entity.

Perhaps we should dictate how many need to be in the room first before we agree to sell.

Any too cheap sales create a buzz and generate income, only for the Auctioner, so why bother with auctions? Its so hit and miss. I will only let mine out of my site with high reserves because I cannot be sure of a fair value.

 

[disruptive]

RL wanted usedplanes.co.uk....

I see he has UsedMotorCycles.co.uk

I wondered that as well when I saw it, its one of RL's, I had a bit of a search to see it there was a double meaning or something, but found nothing.

Like you say maybe there is already an interested buyer, but there has to be 2+ people interested for an auction to work...$500 anyone?

wtf.co.uk

Update, the full list -

Final Auction Inventory for Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Amsterdam released here. More names, a few .coms | RickLatona.com

Cheers, Jon

 

[jasman]

A few gems but mainly a crock of shit if you ask me. Can't believe they've been turning down good names when the list is full of .cm and .eu domains. Come on! Most of those names I wouldnt register if they were available let alone pay auction prices.

 

[doodlebug]

I agree with you jasman, a bunch of crap mainly.

Will be interesting to see how much LOL,co,uk goes for ?

Wonder how many bidders there will be ?

 

[disruptive]

saw houses.co.uk there

one of the better ones.

I have houseshouses.co.uk - is that worth twice as much? What about if it was hyphenated???

Cheers, Jon

Cheers, Jon

May as well submit it, looks like it would be one of the better names in the auction. Might be worth registering houseshouses.eu and houses-houses.cm -you could flip them for several times what you paid, easy money
