Rick Latona Auction Results

The Rick Latona auction today was pretty interesting. I watched it all and was logged into my “bidding” account, but didn’t bid on anything–just in case some of the “big” names (Shows.com at no reserve) were going way too cheap .

It is a very good name to form a brand from, but on its own it is a very broad name. I don’t think most of the people searching for “shows” would be look for high priced broadway tickets, more like looking for information on tv shows etc which is low value. It is a good name, but I wouldn’t say it is a screaming deal either, it will take a lot of development work to pay its way, not really a “recession” name.

I think HomeLoans.net was a damn steal. The way it can be monetized and branded for $18,000 was just absolutely ridiculous. I was really considering bidding on it, but just way too much on my plate right now to drop $20K on a domain.

Once the economy stabilizes a bit, I truly believe that the $18,000 price tag will be peanuts.

SmartPhones.com was also a decent sell. Not spectacular, but OK. SanJose.net at $7K was also a great deal.

Lots of people saying .net has taken an 80% hit in prices. Not sure I believe 80%, but wow… there are some steals right now out there. Shoulda put my excess cash in more domains then stocks .
