Hi, Thanks for the support Aftenic. As anyone who has sold domain names for a while knows, I am taking a big risk with this promotion. I have many names in my portfolio worth several thousands of dollars each. Many with Afternic appraisals, some into the double 5 figures. So, one might ask, why take a chance on letting those valuable names go for so little?
Well it’s a calculated risk. I believe there are plenty of smart buyers/investors out there who follow Afternic’s closing soon section closely. If not, they darn well should be. I have seen a lot of great names go through Afternic’s “Closing soon section” for extremely good prices. I believe Afternic’s closing soon section is a better venue for selling Medium value names ($300 to $10,000) than the big auctions like TRAFFIC. Afternic’s “Closing soon” is open 24/7/365 You can always find a good value there. And as stated earlier I believe all the real “Buyers/Investors know this and keep a close eye on it. Hopefully a few of them will see the opportunity to pick up some great bargains and maybe even get competitive on one or two. Thats the calculated risk. If I lose, I lose big, but then again I might win big. Sometimes, you gotta roll the dice.
I have been selling domain names for ten years now, approaching 100 sales. I have sold 18 names at Afternic in the last 2 years, not counting the 4 in closing soon now, averaging $1000.00 a sale. I have sold many names away from Afternic also. So I speak from some experience. I have yet to sell a really big dollar name, my biggest sale being $9500. And I have given away quite a few. $100-$300.
Any help I can get from anyone out there on this promotion will be greatly appriciated. Help get the word out (Did you here? Theres a crazy guy giving away good names on Afternic) I sure hope I am right about those Really Smart Players out there, keeping an eye on Afternic’s (Closing soon section)

Thanks Mark, Got 5 bids so far. Two on YourWifi.com So tahts a very good sign this early. The other names bid on so far are Withdrawals.net
MemphisWireless.com and UXDB.com
Did you think you would ever get the opportunity to get a single word domain for $100.00? Withdrawals can be used for Banking/Money or Pharmacuticial/Drug/Rehab Either way can get good PPC if developed properly.

Indeed, that is a good buy for a strong one word domain.
