Moniker's latest live domain auction was held today at the Casino Affiliates Convention in Amsterdam. The going was slow this time out with total sales coming in just a bit above 

$100,000. The top sales were Winnings.com ($27,000), Roulette.mobi ($15,000), OnlineCasino.at ($7,500) and CasinoGuests.com ($5,100). Michael Berkens monitored today's auction and has a complete list of auction results on his blog. The names that did not sell in the live auction and hundreds of additional domains are still up for bid in an accompanying online silent auction that will conclude on April 10. You can download a copy of the complete auction inventory list from the Moniker website.

One other note today - we ran one more set of 1st quarter 2008 sales numbers to round out the information we posted Wednesday April 2 (total value of all reported domain sales, which hit an all-time high) and Thursday April 3 (average price of the domains sold, also a new high). Today we can add the median sales price of all of the sales reported to us in 1Q-2008 (the median price is the price at which 50% of sales were higher and 50% were lower). That number for 1Q-2008 was $2,750, just a hair above the $2,700 median price in the same quarter a year ago and exactly the same as the median for all of 2007. If you look at .com sales only, the median price in 1Q-2008 was $3,000, almost unchanged from 1Q-2007 when the number was $3,100.
