Dissecting Rick Latona’s T.R.A.F.F.I.C Auction

Starting at the next T.R.A.F.F.I.C Event in Las Vegas, Rick Latona Auctions will be the only company auctioning domain names. That said, I want to take a look at RLA’s results from yesterdays live auction in New York.  Keep in mind that RLA extended auction is still running.

Below I’ve listed the notable domains that sold in RL Auctions, their selling price and a comment on the sale.

Rio.com $450k – Loads of earning potential with Olympics coming up
Whiskey.com $185k – I guess vodka is more popular
SchoolLoans.com $137k - Included revenue generating website
iAuction.com $50k – Nice name but for fifty grand??
Porn.co.za $45k – Must be a record for .co.za sale
Boy.com $45k – I’ll take this one over porn.co.za for the price
Megan.com $42.5k – A pretty nice sale for a pretty name
900.com $40k – Decent price but still in the reseller range IMO
Kasino.com $35k – I haven’t yet checked alexa but this must get some traffic right?
Hookahs.com $26k – A decent buy for such a generic product .com
PapaNewGuinea.com $25k – Population 6.5 million, I think it’s a bargain
PopStars.com $21k – A bit low, I wonder what the non-plural version would sell for?
PinkDiamond.com $18k – Nice sale! About $15k more that I would have guessed
Hackensack.com $17.5k – City in New Jersey, population approx 45k

Other Notable Sales:

Rick Latona, Moniker to Auction .us, .info, .cc and .cm Domains at TRAFFIC!

That’s right!  If you look through the published lists of domain names to be auctioned off by Rick Latona Auctions and Moniker during the upcoming T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference in New York you will find at least one .us, .info, .cc and .cm domain name. :)

In addition to the stunning NewYorkCity.cc, here are a few others from Rick Latona Auctions worth mentioning:

SM.com
Rio.com
Coed.com
Draw.com
Hell.com
Dancing.com
Dabatase.com
GolfClubs.com

The reserve ranges on these domains look very reasonable and as Rick mentioned in his blog post, they intend to start the auction bidding in the mentioned ranges.  I’ll be interested to see which domains from the inventory create heated bidding wars.  The Rick Latona auction is scheduled for October 27th @ 4:30 pm.

In a crafty move, Moniker added Business.cm, Education.cm,  and Insurance.cm to their auction catalog for the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction.  Other domains in the auction set are one word .coms like:

Bands.com
Fiction.com
Photo.com
Stage.com
Tube.com

As with many of these auctions, lots of these premium names will go unsold.  However, I predict there will be at least one multi million dollar sale as a result of the auctions.  Of course, there will be some excellent deals to be had too!
