I originally intended to come back from my vacation and begin posting something a little different than the daily Chinese auction results. I was going to post sales and trend info across the “liquid” categories with data I’ve been collecting for a while now from US based auction platforms. I was also working on a website to share all of this data. And then last week, shortnames.com released their new site and really knocked it out of the park. It’s a great looking site, and it has all of the data that I’ve been collecting. I decided against a daily post about data that you can easily look up yourself now. Luckily, Josh decided to join Shane on the daily list, and I asked if I could take over the daily recap post.
DiamondOrganics.com The company should probably own this but its getting bid up for all the backlinks and history. 20 years old
$787 – Probably went out of business? One yelp reviewer stated that it cost $97 to deliver 16 oranges and grapefruits 50 miles away. That’s a tough sell for most.
CustomEnergy.com I still don’t think people understand how big energy storage and creation is going to be over the next decade
$1247 – I would have agreed 5 years ago. Not sure the next decade is in the cards at this point. My energy costs keep dropping. Natural gas is dirt cheap, and I’m now paying something like 7.5 cents per kwh for a 100% renewable plan in Texas.
IdealDomain.com The plural would be even better but still a solid name for someone in our industry
?
PremiumSeed.com No bidders. All plants are grown from seed or cuttings. Why not pretend like you’re the best
$319 – Will probably be a marijuana name.
HydroTomato.com You probably don’t realize it but a lot of the tomatoes you are getting in the store are grown hydroponically. They are getting better at it every year
? Yep, I buy them all the time, and they are pretty good.
eBackorder.com No bidders. Endusers are probably limited but at this price its worth looking at
$260
AtlantaCellular.com Cell phones are coming to Atlanta soon
?
RazorBlade.org Everyone I know over 17 uses one. Although there was this one guy I know that had a disease where he had no hair on his body. I don’t he spent any money on razors
? – Another that would benefit from the plural.
1800Flowerd.com Only here for the typo. Just a little extra reach away from a visit
?
ShroomHunter.com Mushroom hunters don’t mess around. I shit you not, they will blindfold you when they drive you to their morel patch.
? – I went on a shroom hunt once but not for the varieties you can buy in stores.
Shiitake.org Speaking of mushrooms. Here’s a real tasty one
? – Probably my favorite variety that you can buy in stores.
BankingOnBitcoin.com A lot of people are
$610 – I’m surprised it went for this much.
HeadCrusher.com Good brand and the nickname of The Mountain on Game of Thrones
? – Takata should buy this.
LeagueMonster.com Have a monster year in your fantasy league with League Monster.com Free slogan.
?
JustAnotherCoverup.com Conspiracy theorist dream name
?
CloudScore.com I’ll give it a 6
$740 – Cloud names are like vegan names. They almost always sell for nice prices, and you never have to ask a cloud if it is a cloud. A cloud will tell you in the first five minutes.
GMT.us This LLL.us actually has some action. Dot us generally is a the red headed stepchild of the domain world
$420 – Nice segway for the next name.
420RX.com Dr. Weed is in the house
$760 – Someone had the foresight to register this 7 years ago.
35000.org Its round. Gotta give it that
?
Here are the best of the LLLL.coms
The floor on these 4L.coms with vowels and / or a V are certainly rising a bit. I sold two that contained a V yesterday for $450 each.
IBSE.com
$400
ELEU.com
$418
EOVI.com
$510
TYEL.com
$676
SNVG.com
$346
PKLO.com
$345
AGKM.com
$345
VTHO.com
$355
FYKI.com
$410
IAGY.com
?
AYDD.com I love no reserve auctions
$460
VRMM.com Nothing hotter than VR names right now in the auction market. Actually not true, one word keywords are always great
Currently at $1200 and ends in a few hours.
InjuryHelp.com Doctors and lawyers. All willing to help as long as you pay them
Currently at $1550 and ends in about 17 hours.
Shout.com Fantastic name. Because of the quality I imagine the reserve is going to be pretty high
Ended unsold @ $110K – what a great name, but the last recorded sale price for the name was $450K just a few years ago
NetDesk.com Sounds a little 2007ish but still sounds like an online tool
Ended unsold @ $458 – another good name with little traction. The last recorded sale price was $9,400 less than two years ago.
TheBlackHorse.com Not a four figure name at auction but worth more than the present bid IMO
Ended unsold $40 – Without the “The” it sells for much more easily, but I think it is better than a $40 name.
Maybe reserves were too high or the Namejet API was having a problem (don’t think so), but none of the Namejet names are listed as sold anywhere.
NCP.net
?
CoolDomains.com Nice name for someone in our industry. “These domains are Hot” Free Slogan
?
FunDeal.com Everyone loves a deal. Making it fun is a bonus

DirtStopper.com I could use some of this. I come home filthy every night
?
ItsLong.com Give this one out as an email at the bars. Or porn name
?
VeganRolls.com you know how I loooooooove vegan stuff
? – There are plenty of delicious vegan rolls. One of my favorites is made with shrooms – the varieties that you can buy in stores of course.
ILikeYourMom.com Careful.
? – Could be an interesting site.
Cleanser.co Has a few bids already. I don’t like it because I don’t like cleaning
?
YTYT.net Even as a dot net I know there will be quite a few Chinese that will want this pattern

An interview with Mike Navarini
Namerific.com. Mike gives us some insight into why Namerific is better than their competitors and tells us the top sale so far on Namerific for 2016.
1) How long have you been buying and selling brandable names and how did you get involved with Namerific ?
I bought my first domain as a teenager, and have been collecting them ever since. I met my co-founder, Zane Gocha while on a vacation in Hawaii and he showed me how I could make money buying/selling domains, and thats when my interest in domains peaked.
2) How has Namerific changed since Zane Gocha left?
We’ve added a new partner to our business, Yancy Naughton of HasTraffic.com. Yancy has brought his wealth of domain knowledge and extensive domain industry connections to our business. As for the site itself, we have been making development and design changes. If you’ve noticed, we’ve completely re-designed our site and logo/color scheme. We have several new modules we will be rolling out in the coming months as well.
3) You don’t require exclusivity at Namerific, Margot from BrandBucket told me years ago that exclusivity was a must. Why don’t you require it ?
Yes, perhaps a “must” to make more money. We care more about our domain sellers than our pocketbook. Giving domain sellers the ability to list in multiple sources increases their chances of selling their domains.
4) How is Namerific better than BrandBucket and BrandRoot ?
We offer our buyers a smaller list of higher quality names, which leads to a better shopping experience.
5) Do you spend money on marketing Namerific and client domains ?
We have a large advertising budget for SEO, search, and display traffic and we re-invest a large portion of sales revenues to advertising. We also attend many domain conferences to attract the best domains possible.
6) In your opinion what are the best kind of brandables to focus on for a newcomer ?
Short, 3-4L .com’s are your safest bet when it comes to being able to liquidate a domain, and in my opinion those are the best places to be. However, if you don’t have a budget to work with, focus on finding some gems for hand-reg price.
7) Most domain owners believe 30% commission is outrageous, it is why many don’t even consider brandable marketplaces. So how do you justify 30% ?
For our lower priced domains, the commission is 30% and that covers the cost of hiring our designers, writers, developers, and advertising. For higher priced domains, the commission is as low as 10%. For a domain seller, all you need to do is figure out what price you want in pocket and we’ll price accordingly for our non-domain industry buyers at retail prices. Yes, you may pay a smaller commission on sales at other sites, but you’d likely be selling to other domain wholesalers and bargain-hunters that want rock bottom prices.
8) Do you sell company owned domains on Namerific and do they get special placement or treatment ?
Yes, we own a large portfolio of names and we feature the best inventory at the top of our site in “featured” and “premium” sections. We also feature, for free, all of the top domains listed on our site, regardless of who owns them. For less premium names, our sellers can pay a monthly fee to have them show in the “featured” section.
9) How do you handle logos ? How much does the domain owner pay for a logo and can they submit their own ?
Many domain sellers pay nothing upfront to get their domain live, they simply pay a $100 commission (or more, depends what they chose when they listed) to the logo designer when the domain does sell. Others that have domains that do not pass our initial review are welcome to pay $8 to cover the initial design fee. For domain sellers that have bulk listings, we charge $5 in some cases.
10) If a member does not like the pricing Namerific suggests can they persuade you to raise it ?
Yes, all of our prices are flexible and we can adjust based on input from sellers.
11) Any thoughts about releasing sales numbers on a quarterly basis ? Do you have any you can post right here ?
We recently sold Soni.com several weeks ago for nearly $30,000. To protect our buyers, we can’t release all sales info, but we do on a case by case basis.
12) Will you stop accepting submissions at a certain number ?
No, we accept all submissions!

It’s common to see companies in China upgrade their domain names. There can be many reasons, such as better name, prestige, publicity, expanded business line, and going global.
.com is king in China’s corporate world. We often see companies shortening their .com names. A good case is China-sss.com, which is an inferior name for the domestic airline 春秋航空 (Chun Qiu Hang Kong). The company changed the name to the prestigious CH.com, which is an exact match for its trading name (春航=Chun Hang).
Other examples of upgrading to shorter .com names include HDB.com (from HuDongBa.com) and 37.com (from 37wan.com).
For companies using .cn names, they like to upgrade to .com if they can afford. For example, 亿童 (Yi Tong) moved up from Allkids.com.cn to Yitong.com last year and 上海云盾 (Shang Hai Yun Dun) from Yundun.cn to Yundun.com early this year.
If they can’t afford, they may go from a long .com to a short .cn. For example, Yaya888.com changed to Yaya.cn and Readnovel.com to XS.cn (XS =小说=Xiao Shuo=novel).
For companies owning a 3-pin or 4-pin domain name, they also like to upgrade to an acronym name.
For example, 猪八戒 (Zhu Ba Jie ) is a marketplace for logo design and other digital services. Its corporate site was ZhuBaJie.com. As a 3-pin .com exactly matching the company name, the domain name is perfectly fine. However, the company chose to upgrade to ZBJ.com early this year. It’s reported that traffic to the new site soared immediately.
Another example is 九信金融 (Jiu Xin Jin Rong) which upgraded from JiuXinFinance.com to JXJR.com.
Even a short .com domain name may go even shorter. When it happens, the company gets a lot of free publicity and also creates a sense of prestige. The most well-known example is LeTV.com upgrading to Le.com last year. LeTV.com has only four letters so is already very short. But, the company spent more than 10m USD last year to acquire the Le.com, which became the talk of the town.
If you own a domain name sitting in the path of a likely upgrade, then the domain name will be very valuable. How do you find out? Research is one of the ways.

Our admirable technology companies are telling us that 5G will be 100x faster than 4G and that it will have 50x lower latency. But my more independent technology colleagues tell me ‘it all depends’. I have no doubt that the quality of 5G will be up to standard. The vendors and operators have done a terrific job of getting us to where we are now and there is no reason to believe that this will be any different. However there are other variables that will affect the service.
In my view the promises above are, typically, the best possible case scenarios.
For example, it depends on what frequency bands are used — 6GHz, 28GHz, 27 GHZ. The higher the frequency the more fibre you need closer to the user in order to deliver those higher speeds. Currently less than 50% of mobile towers are connected to fibre, and the rollout of fibre can’t keep up with the rapid deployment of mobile broadband. 5G means more mobile towers so it is unlikely that all of these towers will be linked to fibre in the near future.
In relation to latency issues, here the ‘it all depends’ includes distances involved between network elements and also the actual quality and capabilities of the devices connected to the network (be aware of the blame game between network operators and device vendors).
Other issues that can affect the performance of 5G (but are not unique to it) includes the number of users connected to the same cell, the actual applications used, whether it is used in a mobile situation as the speed of moving will have an effect, and, last but not least, weather conditions. All of this will need to be considered when selecting the right infrastructure for the right application.
Others that are looking at M2M and are shopping around have also been told by their mobile operators that their LTE networks (with a range of different flavours) will become commercially attractive for certain M2M applications by early 2017. So, from a mobile network perspective, over the next five years or so LTE will take an important share of this market and unless these services are migrated to 5G at no extra cost and at a time when these networks are stable enough for such application, 5G will take a back seat.
So, yes, in theory 5G can deliver on those promises but better to check out if that will be the case in the particular 5G services that your operator provides you with. And also check the backhaul issue. Is there fibre or enough capacity in the microwave backhaul network to support that particular application?
On the positive side — something we have been talking about for a long time — 5G will drive fibre deeper and deeper into the network and that will also benefit the business model for FttH.
Another promise: the vendors let us believe that 5G is ideal for M2M applications (machine-to-machine or IoT internet of things) as it will allow for 100x the number of devices to be connected to such a network. That might be true, but what about the affordability? There is no indication that prices will match the current costs of linking IoT devices to LPWS (low-powered wireless networks), 2G networks, mesh networks. The reality of IoT or M2M networks is that the sensors and devices connected to such networks don’t change for a decade or more, so it is not anticipated that there will be a rush to migration by those operating such applications at the moment. Furthermore 5G is a new technology and very few M2M users would want to be the guinea pigs for this.
Also, to make 5G cost-effective, significant investments will be required in the network by the network operator in order to optimise the network, so that application devices (radio modules) need less technology and are therefore competitively priced against the technology used in the devices employed on other M2M networks.
For starters, I am sure there will be some niche market applications that will be ideally suited for 5G and those who want to operate this will be willing to pay a premium for the use of the 5G networks. And over time — depending on how all of the other alternative infrastructure develops — there will also be a market for 5G M2M and IoT applications.
In the meantime expect a great deal of hype. There will be 4½G and early 5G offerings but there will also be standards and compatibility issues. It will miraculously support driverless cars (imagine the variability of problems when the car suddenly stops); it will spur robotics and virtual reality; yes, it will allow pigs to fly; and it will make your perfect cup of coffee 🙂
