At the DOMAINfest conference last week there were 2 live domain name auctions. Professional auctioneers took bids from the audience at the conference anf from those registered and bidding online. It was an interesting experience, especially as the last time I saw a live auction it was for farm equipment!.

Below is a video I took of the auction of importliquor.com from day 1, which sold for US$3,500.00. Domain Name News has the complete list of domain names from day 1 and day 2 and what the sold for and which ones did not receive a minimum bid.

If you cannot see the embedded video, you can link to it directly on YouTube.

Back in December, I was at the Moniker domain name auction at Pubcon, and was surprised how few names met their minimum bid. Seems like this one went a little better, but a lot still got left on the auction block. I wonder if that’s a sign of overspeculation in the market?
