Bidding
Opens in a T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Silent Auction at the
Above.com Domain Marketplace + Servers.com to be
Sold in Bankruptcy Auction
|
|
The
next T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
conference
is coming up October 20-23 at the Ritz
Carlton on Florida's Fort
Lauderdale Beach. As always, the show
will feature a live
domain auction with this one
scheduled for Monday, October 21 at
4:30pm. However, there is going to be an added
twist this time around. |
|
|
|
|
|
T.R.A.F.F.I.C
has enlisted Above.com’s
Domain Marketplace to
host an online Silent Auction
in
conjunction with the live event. Bidding
has already opened in
the Silent Auction which will
continue until 3pm (U.S.
Eastern time) on October 31.
Domains that |
|
do
not reach the reserve price in
the Silent Auction before the live
event October 21 can be moved into
the sale at the Ritz Carlton (if
show organizers wish to include
them). Those that do meet the
reserve beforehand will stay
in the Silent Auction and names not
sold in the live event will get a second
chance by in the Silent Auction
that will continue for 10 days after
the live event.

President and Founder David
Warmuz said, "We are
delighted that our Domain
Marketplace was selected to
host the 2013 T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
East Silent Auction. The Above
Domain Marketplace is loaded
with features that are not
available in commonplace
marketplaces which most people
are accustomed to. We added
innovative features such as Verified
Traffic Stats, built-in domain
pricing tool, and a
seller’s personal auction
URL, to name just a
few."
Among
the domains included in the
Silent Auction are: 3DCopying.com,
FloridaCharterFlights.com,
WomensFragrances.com, BulkAdvertising.com,
MensWatch.com and Tablets.co.
You can view the entire 2013
Silent Auction inventory here.
To
participate in the auction,
buyers must create
a verified Above account
to bid. Once an account is
created, buyers can create a
watch list to follow just the
domains they are interested
in. |

Another
auction that will be of
considerable
interest - even though
it includes only one domain
- is coming up
later this month. By
order of the United
States Bankruptcy Court
for the Northern
District of Texas,
Dallas Division, Servers.com
will be auctioned off on
October 29, 2013.
The auction
will take place at 2pm
(local time) at the
office of Trustee’s
Counsel located at: 500
North Akard Street,
Suite 3800, Dallas,
Texas 75201. |
|
Only
"qualified
bidders" will
be permitted to attend
the auction. Interested
parties must become
qualified bidders
by providing
financial information to
the Trustee evidencing
the ability to purchase
the domain name and must
deliver to the
Trustee a deposit of
$40,000 to
participate in the
auction (qualified
bidders will be
permitted to participate
in the auction by
telephone).
Daniel
J. Sherman, Chapter
11 Trustee of the Ondova
Limited Company,
said he has received a
"stalking horse
bid" of $300,000
for the domain name. The
Bankruptcy Court has
authorized the Trustee
to attempt to seek
higher and better bids
by conducting the
October 29
auction.
A
hearing to approve the
sale to the highest
bidder has been
scheduled for November
4, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
Central Time. For more
