Lofty Matters

Here is a possible business investment or even just an idea for anyone who is looking for a good domain for a website they want to create to use for a site related to auction sales or managing auctions. It’s an auction for a domain at AuctionClose.com eBay Auction. The domain is www.auctionclose.com.

The person who owns this domain has owned it for about seven years and has never used it as a brand or as a website and now they have decided to auction it on Ebay. This domain gets a fair amount of organic traffic just from the name alone, so anyone purchasing will definitely have a nice head start on SEO.

It’s a 7-day auction running until next Tuesday, January 20, 2009. International bidding is accepted and the starting bid is $199.95. The value is estimated to be around $2000. Any fees involved in the transaction (for the transfer or for more years of registration) are assumed by the buyer.

I have to admit that though this is a little rich for my blood, it is an interesting way to purchase a good domain. I will definitely be watching this auction to see where it ends up. If this is successful it looks like this would be a great way to find and/or market a good domain.
