That’s all for today. Let’s move onto today’s domain auctions.

It’s time to snap to it with today’s randomly selected domain auctions from SnapNames.com.

This randomly selected list of domains focuses primarily on keyword domains in auction.

It’s likely I’ll mix in random geo domain auction lists from time to time. I wish you the best in bidding.

Below is a hand-picked list of quick-pick domains with NO bids. There are a few sleepers on the list worth NOT BIDDING on, and allowing to enter into buy-it-now closeout status.

Attempting to allow domains with no bids to close in auction can be a bit risky. Once domains enter buy-it-now closeout status is also risky too.

I enjoy sniping and flipping expired domains at $5 pricing (really $13 after renewing it for a year), but be wise and don’t lose out on a good domain in an attempt to wait it out.

As always do your homework and research each domain before you commit to bidding and buying.

Welcome back to today’s randomly selected domain auctions from NameJet.com.

For the many readers (that’s you!) that have expressed interest in NameJet.com domain auctions via a daily list, here it is. Unlike GoDaddy auctions, I don’t provide commentary for NameJet.com auctions.

Thanks for using my growing daily domain auction lists.

Below is a compiled list of expiring emoji domain auctions.  This specific auction list may not become a norm, so enjoy it while it lasts. 🙂

For expiring emoji domain auctions with bids, I’ve included emoji.  For auctions without bids at the time of this writing, emoji not included, but do feel free to use PunyCoder.com (copy and paste the list).

That’s all for today. Let’s move onto today’s emoji domain auctions.

At the beginning of the month, I shared an article, “How about domain auction bidder ids or usernames“, in response to GoDaddy’s self-reported article about a GoDaddy customer’s “serious allegations” about the collusion of multiple GoDaddy employees participating domain auctions.

Long story short, GoDaddy fired the employee for violating GoDaddy’s Code of Conduct for creating an account with fictitious data to place initial proxy bids only.

While many domain investors appreciated GoDaddy’s swift response in firing the employee, many beat the drum loudly questioning when GoDaddy would add bidder ids or usernames to its auction platform.
