NamesCon/ROTD Domain Auction & GoDaddy Q2 Premium Auction Heading Into Home Stretch

NamesCon/ROTD Domain Auction & GoDaddy Q2 Premium Auction Heading Into Home Stretch  

While the 2024 NamesCon Global conference ended June 8, the annual live and online domain auction that Right Of The Dot runs in association with NamesCon is just wrapping today (Tuesday, June 18). Starting at 2PM US Eastern Standard Time (1PM Central), the remaining lots in the timed auction will be closing in 30-second intervals. 38 new lots have been added since the close of the live auction (held at NamesCon Global in Austin June 6) with a total of 563 total lots still available. Those include Tatiana.com, Abbie.com, DirectSales.com, FlightLesson.com, RemoteAcess.com and HeadHunters.org to name just a few.

People that missed the live auction can still participate in the online event by going to bid.rotd.com (anyone who registered online for the live auction is automatically registered for the timed auction). A downloadable .csv file of the current catalog is available here. Heading into the close, total revenue from the live/online events is just under $700,000 with a 48% sell-through rate. At the live auction the top sales were GNP.com at $140,000, Atlanta.org at $70,000, FEF.com at $50,000, PortAransas.com at $42,000 and Pharmacy.net at $30,000.

Another major online event, the GoDaddy 2Q Namefind Premium Domain Auction, is also nearing its conclusion but this one won't end until Thursday afternoon June 20 (US Eastern time). Approximately 400 no reserve domains were put on the block for the GoDaddy sale.

On a related note, while NamesCon Global just ended, conference organizers said the dates and location for the 2025 show will be announced soon. Meanwhile, we've already gotten the dates for the 2025 Nordic Domain Days event in Stockholm, Sweden. It will be held April 27-29, 2025.
