The .ME registry just announced via domain.me blog that there will be another premium auction via Sedo.com. This year’s premium .ME auction will start on October 27th and only lasts one week ending on November 3rd, 2011. These are names that were previously unreleased by the registry. Here are my top picks:
| Keywords RealEstate.me + Realty.me Cam.me + Camera.me Property.me Deal.me VIP.me Golf.me Fitness.me |
Geo’s America.me London.me LosAngeles.me Others: 777.me 800.me 888.me |
Those are just a handful that of names that jumped off the page at me. Be sure to check out the full list. I think this will be a great opportunity for domain investors to pick up some premium .ME names at reasonable prices. I’ve seen a few pretty big flips result from names that were sold in the first premium .ME auction. With 178 in this auction you can bet that there will be some deals to be had.
A few others that will be on the auction block worth mentioning are Taxi.me, Astrology.me, Jewelry.me and Shoes.me. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Cam.me will be the top sale in this auction.

Do you know if you can submit to the auction? I am really looking for the right buyer for SmartPhones.me
Thanks
Steve – Thanks for your question. These are ‘premium’ names that until next month have not been released by the registry. Updated the post to reflect that info.
Steve,
How much do you want for smartphones.me? If the price is right I might take a look at it, or we can trade, I have:
LicensedBroker.me
ChiefExecutive.me
Let me know if you want to make a deal, or buy mine.
RealEstate.me = top sale. Especially after RealEstate.com just sold for 8.5 mil.
Unfortunately, none of these .Me’s are verbs – or, true ‘action’ phrases…eg Contact.me, Call.me, or Phone.me…
These domains may contain premium terms – but, imo, they are not really premium uses of the .Me extension – and, so should be only 2nd tier .Me value.
I was looking for $5K for the SmartPhones.me but all offers are open on it. I think I have it set at $250 reserve at SEDO if I remember correctly. I had it a few years now. I did move OnlineCollege.me a few years back.
@Voltaire – You got a few hidden gems in your portfolio, nice. I feel $5K for smartphones.me is fair – look at all the possibilities a end user can do with the name with all the latest mobile and app craze. The term is searched for 4.1 million times Per Month and feel with that volume it is reasonable.
Honest appraisal value for StuckItIn.me?
Damn iPad, that should say StickItIn.me
@Voltaire – there are a few action/verb names like taxi.me, deal.me and romance.me in this auction. Also, while there are not any of the super premium verb (call.me, like.me, etc) I think that a lot of them work really well with the .ME extension.. ie.. like cam.me, fitness.me, medicine.me.
@Greg – I think that names like yours while that use .ME as an action or hack have potential. Perhaps not immediately very valuable, I think there will be more of a demand for action phrases that end in .me like yours.
