CD.com reserved at $176,480

The CD.com domain name was not able to reach the reserve price of $176,480.00 last bid (and only bid) is $150,000.00. This signifies even the domain name market is affected by the current economic crisis. The men.org domain name was sold for $12,500.00.

There are some auctions today, and hopefully it will be a different outcome.

First Australian Web Site to Auction ".au" Domain Names

After the recent auDA (au Domain Administration) decision to allow the sale, purchase and trade of ".au" domain names, the anticipated .au property boom has begun. The need for a well structured, affordable venue, advertising domain names for sale in Australia, has been realised by the creation of the Domain Shed Web site Domainshed.

The CEO of Domain Shed, Goran Simunovic, believes the Domain Shed Web site will allow anyone to have insight into the current .au domain name marketplace. "As well as providing a tool for the sale of .au names, the Web site also works to enable potential buyers and sellers to get the gist of movements within the marketplace," Simunovic says.
