Okay, I just couldn’t help myself and posting a domain auctions list one day earlier than I should have.  Vacation 2016 officially doesn’t end until Wed at 11:59pm.  I couldn’t say away any longer.  I did go (trying to get some sympathy). 😉

Vacation 2016 has been nice, although it did not turn out to be spent the way we thought it would be due to the Zika virus outbreak across South America.

Nevertheless, my wife and I had a grand time “staycation” here in Austin, sleeping in, living without a schedule to adhere to, shopping and taking in a few movies, dating like we were single with no responsibilities, and missing our boys the entire time.  We longed for a vacation for just the two of us, and then we both ended up missing the boys to no end.  It’s funny how that happens…

Hump day it is, and another great day for bidding on domain auctions ending today.

Yesterday was a good auction bidding me for personally. I won a decent .com real estate domain that is the prime candidate for a company using the exact match .net. In addition, I managed to snipe a .net auto repair geo name for the Austin market.

I look forward to selling both domains, and should I not sale, then I’ll lease the type-in traffic from both.

If you’ve not attempted leasing traffic before, it’s definitely a great way to make money with a domain that you can’t flip fast or one that you’ll have to hold over time. But be careful because not all domains are good candidates for leasing their traffic.

It’s another terrific Tuesday, and I’m ready for a few good auctions today.  I’m not stating which domains I’ll bid on exactly.

I’m certain that when I tip my cards and share which domains I’ll bid on, I have at least 2-3 additional bidders upping the price on auctions I would normally win at a lesser price.  That said, I won’t be sharing today, but I do wish you luck on the domains you’ll bid on. 🙂

It’s Monday, and most have a day off for those observing this day as a holiday.  This day is more than just a day off from work, but we as nation observe this day as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Known affectionately as MLK, his effort and work lives on until the end of time.Not all of MLK’s thoughts, actions, words or deeds were on point or the best idea, but a few have greatly impacted the lives of many who lived in the King era and those of us who follow.

Oh the impact of having a dream…

It’s a bright and early Saturday morning in Austin, Texas, and another day to bid and capture expiring domains.

I plan on having a laid back and easy kind of a Saturday.  At least that’s what I’m allowing myself to believe.

Every time I proclaim such a thought, I’m quickly reminded by my wife that she and the boys have other plans for my time.  But I can’t complain, because life would be life without her, my boys and soon-to-arrive princess (July 2016)! 🙂

As for domain auctions… I’ve included a list of numeric .com domains, quite a few brandable .com domains, some 3L, 4L, and a mixed bag of short character domains across multiple extensions.  There’s quite a few that I might just bid on should time permit.

It’s Friday!  It’s Friday!  And there is much work to be done this day.  I’m expecting domaining interviews to spike with NamesCon overviews, domain sales tips, and domain closed deals.

As I mentioned yesterday, NamesCon 2016 held a live auction for 130 domains (approximately 450 domains in total), and sold roughly $1.5 million in sales.

Because all of the domains could not be presented in live auction, an extended auction via NameJet will host auctions for approximately 340 domains.  This silent auction, as it is sometimes referred too, will end January 21, 2016, and you can find more information on NameJet.  

What a list of expiring domains that has been assembled today.  It’s a bit longer than I even thought it would be, but I couldn’t leave one domain off.  I’m covering the domain gamut with the exception of new domain extensions: .com, .net, .org, .cc, .co.

In other news, the Namescon 2016 Extended Auction is underway.  Check the previous link for the list of domains in extended auction.  You’ll only have a little over 6 days remaining to bid in this silent auction.

If you didn’t know, the Namescon live auction was reportedly to have sold approximately $1.5 million.  That’s not bad at all for a live auction.
