LiveDomainAuctioneers.com broke on to the scene last month. Basically what they do is whole live no reserve domain name auctions completely online. Lots of people when they here domain auction house they automatically go, great another one. Well with Live Domain Auctioneers that is not the case.

LiveDomainAuctioneers

They take the traditional auction method and tailored it to domain names for a mass audience. By having no reserves EVER on any domain name they save everyone time. Does not matter if a $1 bid is placed on a name it WILL sell. This is something you really do not see very much at other auctions. Other auctions may say no reserve but there usually is a minimum bid. With Live Domain Auctioneers that is not the case.

The other cool thing that helps us domainers out is that it is completely ONLINE and LIVE. Which means that you can bid from anywhere in the world and know that it is in real time. They even provide audio as the auctions take place. Along with all of that is the software that they have chosen to use is top of the line, ProxiBid.com. Others have used this platform in the past and i think it is a great fit for this type of auction.

I have had a brief conversation with the owners of LiveDomainAuctioneers.com and i squeezed in the question about user submitted domain names. They had told me that it was a possibility in the future. Now that would really set off the quality of domain names being auction.

I like what they are doing and so far it has been great to watch. So go ahead and check out the names that are being auctioned and possibly even purchase a domain name. Here are some of their featured domain names:

MegaFight.com
TurboBroadband.com
MobiGeeks.com
Ellei.com
BigDelivery.com
Identicals.com
JazzMonkey.com
KikMe.com
FitnessShows.com
HotDotComs.com

Auction Catalogue

I am pretty sure by now most of the domainers in the space have felt the waves of Bido.com over the past couple of days. Yesterday was the first auction of the relaunch where they auctioned off “EquityGrant.com“. Though not a very good domain at all the auction was a success with the domain selling for $810.

If you have not heard of Bido.com yet or know what exactly it is i will explain it to you. It is essentially being called the “Social Domain Auction Platform”. The reason for this is because there is commentary and chat in every auction every day. This adds an extra in site from Industry Leaders and from the average joe domainer that wants to chat it up during the auction.

You are probably asking right now, “Ok, that sounds cool. How does this work?” Well its pretty simple. Bido.com revolves around “The Power of 1″. This means that 1 domain is auction off everyday at 1pm EST, 1 hour open bidding, 1 dollar no reserve, and 1 lucky winner. It really is that simple and is extremely exciting to watch and participate in.

Some of the domains up for auction in the coming days include BarPictures.com, FixedLoans.com, and DressOrganic.com.

So head on over to Bido.com and have a look for yourself and get to know the regulars. It is very interesting and should be something to pay attention to in the coming months.
