Expiring Names

PCGame.com Sells in pre-Release for over $24,000

NameJet

At Namejet today, a new domain has broken one of the best pre-release record barriers. PcGame.com, a common two-word domain, nearly hit the $25k mark. Clocking in at $24,704 after two and a half hours of bidding, user PLZ captured the title to ownership after battling with a mix of manual and proxy bids vs newyorker.

Certainly this is one of the most premier gaming domains, excluding one-word prizes in the industry. We're certain a buyer will be found quickly if one wasn't lined up already, at a fairly sizable markup no doubt.

Congratulations to the winner as well as the bidders who participated in the excitement.

 

More Deadbeats at Namejet

NameJet

This week has seen at least 4 auctions that we know of at Namejet go into re-auction due to deadbeat bidders. What follows is a list of the domai names in question and the defaulting bidder, as well as the next highest bidder(s)

Multiuser.com - king $1,211 (defaulted) - Re-auction on 9.30 appears to have been purchased by a good buyer.

W3W.com - qatari $2,500 (defaulted), catchname $2,400, Re-Auciton 10.2 won by catchname

Tradewire.com - mind $2,954 (defaulted), dotname $2,854, catchname $2,400 - Re-auction 10.2 won by dotname with catchname 2nd highest.

Solars.com - bidder9999 $6,100 (defaulted), Re-Auction on 10.2 completed, unknown buyer.

 

Some buyers seem to be clear setups for bidding up, which is a problem regardless of who or why. But certainly it's usually those who stand to profit who are most likely to acted stupidly. Perhaps one day we'll actually find out who these bidders are?
