Drops today - September 2012

[neddy]

Lot of competition on the drops today for a net.au

bodybuilding.net.au - 7 bidders on Neftfleet; 8 bidders on Drop.

NF snapped it for $955.

Congrats.

 

[Lucas]

Yep, congrats to the winner of bodybuilding.net.au - I was the under-bidder on Netfleet and Drop...

 

[James]

bodybuilding.com is a big global brand who dominate the serps, I think they should be ok with the .net.au but...

 

[chris]

Nice one, congrats!

Dog Insurance and Cat Insurance... great opportunity for owner of pet insurance to consolidate their offering.

Some decent domains for tomorrow too - after quite a lean spell it seems.

DogInsurance.com.au
CatInsurance.com.au

as mentioned but also

Peru.com.au
Napier.com.au
Mortgage-Brokers.com.au

and SleepCity.com.au - just over 6 months ago the company had 450 staff and 64 stores now its domain fades into obscurity

( on my screen for nf)

i love how SleepCity.com.au is listed, then
Orgasm.net.au is just above
Mission-Impossible.com.au and the next one down is
GoodGuy.com.au

lol, does someone a NF have a weird sense of humour?

yeah.. they will take a little longer to drop off! Just saying it's quite sad when a big company like that ends up with their former website ending up on the drops selling for what, $50 or whatever it ends up going for...

the big bucks were out today on doginsurance.com.au and catinsurance.com.au

Indeed, but they are good domains you could build a healthy business around.

Netfleet now catching with zero bids?

Netfleet now catching with zero bids?

Always has - legacy from when Publishing Australia owned half of it... the conspiracy theorists thought that any bids from PA could be considered shill bidding so NF allowed PA to catch uncontested domains only.

Same as Domain Active do with Drop

 

[johno69]

I thought NF's whole game plan was to bring attention to bids on their platform.

Must be nice being able to slip under the radar.

Must be nice being able to slip under the radar.

How do you mean? For me as in PA? Frankly it sucks - NF have asked me to only bid on domains that nobody else wants.

Hardly slipping under the radar either - it's the same as placing a $10 snipe bid with 5 secs to go

I know. But there are still some crazy people who sit and let names drop on both to hand reg.

Maybe they will learn now.

Yeah it's strange isn't it. tbh I hardly go for any domains these days... never that exciting picking over the scraps.

Andrew's been grabbing a heap with Domain Active recently though which is great to see. Good that the Fabulous guys are still bullish about growing their .au portfolio!

Not as many as may appear

Yes good to the local industry holds interest.
