The third annual DomainMadness.com auction ends today with a live event broadcast from the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas at 2pm Pacific time.  DNN will be covering the event and posting live results here.  You can register and start bidding on the Boxcar.com platform right now.

There are variety of domains for sale, including a good showing of domains that hit the “sweet spot” and domains that are great “brandable generics” that DomainMadness organizer Mike Fiol has written about.

If you’ve entered the contest to win $1000 by picking the domains that will sell, you can follow along to see if you win by downloading the full “bracket” of domains for sale here.

While at DOMAINfest we were surprised to meet Miguel Fiol, the founder of Boxcar and main brain behind DomainConsultant, at an early breakfast. Those who know him know that he usually does not hit the conference circuit before noon. But it was even more interesting to see him bear gifts – a Boxcar domain auction mood light along with a “ticket” that allowed to join Boxcar for a promotional price. He also told us that the site had recently undergone a redesign and today his team also added an auto-refresh for auction listings, thus eliminating the tedious page reloading as auctions come to a close. The site sold its 100th domain name on February 14th earlier this week.

Recent Sales include: VacationHouses.net, Plowing.net, StandingMRI.com, Tasers.com, NoLimitHoldEm.com, StreamingTV.com, MoneyGamer.com, CompanyCreditCard.com, Convection.net, Telescopes.org, AroundTheHorn.com, DomainName.com, DiamondRings.com, CamRoulette.com, SecurityGuards.com, PalmSpringsHomes.com

Following the lack of sales in the Epik DevCon Live Auction, DomainConsultant announced an auction selling a number of domains pointing to a developed e-commerce website – the Saltwater Dreams Action Spots Network.

According to DomainConsultant action sports is “a $7b industry“. Auction organizer Mike Fiol goes on to say:

But it gets even better as ALL the names have been developed with e-commerce and profit from $5000 to $7000 per month, every month, without the slightest hint of promotion or marketing.

Built over the last 13 years, this network also includes thousands of images, members and over 500 affiliate websites. It is AUTOMATED and requires little to no maintenance. Expenses for the whole network equate to $25/mo.

Price is absolutely right and should attract ALOT of interest, seller has agreed to a price equal to less than $325 per name.

This would bring the asking price for the package to about $400,000. If we take the monthly average of profit to be about $6,000 from the quote above, meaning the starting price is close to a 5.5 times multiple annual profit.

Here are some of the 1,244 domain names included in the package:

• Bodyboard.com
• SurfShops.com
• SurfboardWax.com
• SurfPicture/s.com
• SurfForum.com

Some of the names are run of an e-commerce engine, displaying customized sites under a number of domains, while others include a forum and a picture hosting site. All domains are in a single registrar account and all the websites are hosted on a single server with RAID, so an ownership transfer should be a straight forward process.

For all you late night partying domainers, there’s some good news coming from the TRAFFIC show. Rick Schwartz announced today that the TRAFFIC domain show in New York will be adding a new “Night Pass”.  The $995 pass allows attendees to be at the auctions, night parties and the trade show floor after 4pm.

“We know besides the 300+ people that will register for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. in New York there will be lots of additional folks that will be in the city during TRAFFIC and would like to attend but are “Night Owls” and don’t want to go to the seminars and meals and still pay full pop to get in. So Mike Fiol suggested a new NIGHT TRAFFIC PASS. “

We’ve felt TRAFFIC was sorely lacking some sort of “ala carte” pass for a while now.  Many attendees come to the shows to have meetings with other attendees and don’t tend to sit in on the conferences, browse the show floor or  enjoy any meals.  There’s attendees who just want to watch the auction and there’s likely attendees who don’t want any of the late night partying either (though likely very few).  I think I’ve had 2 meals on-site at the last domain shows that I attended, yet my admission was paying for all that food.  I personally wouldn’t mind seeing a daily pass or one without meals as options, but this new idea is a step in the right direction.

Kudos to Rick for listening to feedback and making this available. I know quite a few people who fall in to this demographic, but they may have already bought their ticket.

The GeoDomain Extended Auction has just added another 22 domains to its roster, which will be open for bidding until May 5th. Names include Reserve.com, ironically listed at no reserve, Zodiac.com, PalmCity.com and Fargo.net.
