Rick Latona Auctions announced that it will donate its services as well as its brand new online auction platform (developed in house) to the WhyPark Charity Domain Auction taking place from December 7 to December 11, 2009.

The auction will be the first to utilize the new beta auction platform which will replace Proxibid.com and can be found at www.Latonas.com (currently only shows a pre-registration page).

“We are excited to support the WhyPark Charity Auction,” said Rick Latona, President of Rick Latona Auctions. “It is also the perfect opportunity for us to test drive our new Latonas.com auction platform. Since it is an online only auction with no live auctioneer, it should be a low stress environment. Customers will be able to help people through The WhyPark Charity Auction , pick up a great new name or two and get a sneak preview of what we are up to here in Atlanta.”

“The WhyPark charity auction is simply about raising funds for a charity in need,” said Craig Rowe, President of WhyPark Technology Services. “The domain name community raises funds for several charities worldwide and this is another opportunity to provide financial assistance to a worthwhile organization of the highest winning bidder’s choice. We are excited to partner with Rick Latona Auctions, a leader in the domain industry to help make this a successful auction.”

WhyPark’s Charity Domain Auction will include up to 50 domain names, all donated by domain industry leaders and all with no reserve price. The proceeds will be given to a socially-responsible charity chosen by the highest single bidder in the auction.
