Some would say they are the “King and Prince of .IO Domains”, while others have not a clue who either gent is if they were to pass them on streets — including me, and I grew up with one of them. 😬

The gents I speak of are none other than Mike Carson — serial entrepreneur, software developer, and founder of Park.io, and the guy I grew up with and reconnected with at NamesCon Global 2020 in Austin, Texas, Steve Webb — partner and researcher, developer, and marketer at Park.io.

Both are down to earth and very unassuming gentleman that blend into an environment about as good as a chameleon. Heck, had either gentleman not wore Park.io gear or had NamesCon lanyards and name badges, I would have not ever known the Park.io founder and partners were ever in the building.

They certainly don’t make much of a splash in person, but online is where they shine and make their presence known in a mighty and fierce way with one of the hottest domain extensions this last and this decade: .io.

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.

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).
