budgettracker.com.au - thoughts?

My first reaction was too many characters and the "tt" doesn't do it any favours.

It's not one that I would go for.

Here are some examples of good domains dropping tomorrow:
lf.com.au
stir.com.au

Is it just me or is Netfleet having a few issues with their drop auction list. I can only see about 20 names on the list while Drop has the usual amount?

Think twice before registering more..look at what is for sale here or you may be registering names you will not want to renew later;

It's not just you. They've been having issues for a couple of days now. Email alerts are also not working properly.

Thanks. That would explain the 8 emails that I received all at once yesterday.

What did these go for? Superfish may like to know, he then gets an idea of pricing for drops

Thanks for the followup mate - I'm guessing you need to ensure you are available for when the deadline approaches to time your offer?

What did these go for? Superfish may like to know, he then gets an idea of pricing for drops

• LF.com.au - at least $3,200 (fees and GST inclusive) on Domain Shield, but I think it was more likely $6,400 ('level 9'), as the high bid on Drop.com.au was $6,000 with six bidders participating.
  
• HCR.com.au - $55 + fees and GST on Drop.com.au.
• Stir.com.au - at least $200 (fees and GST inclusive) on Domain Shield.

And here's a bonus domain... I picked up OnlineTraining.com.au through Domain Shield. People can take a guess as to the winning bid amount, and I'll confirm the correct one.
For those that don't know, Domain Shield has a tiered bidding system that doubles at each level. E.g. level 1 is $25, level 2 is $50, level 3 is $100, level 4 is $200, level 5 is $400, level 6 is $800, and so on. The pricing on Domain Shield is all inclusive of fees and GST.

$6,400?

 

[findtim]

now ebranding, ( LF.com.au) "slap on wrist" , superfish a domain can be won for $20 even if another drop catcher has a bid of $30K

but ebrandings logic is sound given there were 6 bidders, as the bid levels get taken at DS people can't enter so they have to chance it somewhere else like NF and drop.
thats just how it works.

I'm not sure that I get your drift here Tim!

Regarding LF.com.au, I was simply suggesting that the winning bid on DS was likely to be $6,400 ('level 9'); given the interest (bidding activity) visible on the only other platform that was working properly today (Netfleet is still not right - showing just four domains for tomorrow's drops). I didn't win the domain, so I can only speculate based on my experience and the bids that I'm aware of on DS and drop!

Run, it's the Thread police again ...... run

It helps, some do a high bid, I haven't bothered with the drops for a while so not sure if that is still offered on each platform? Someone else will most likely know and share it here.

 

[findtim]

so I can only speculate based on my experience

which is what i said !
my post was directly related to superfishes perceived present knowledge as detailed by him ! in that context i do not think i was being the thread police.
my basic concept was that a name can be won with a $20 regardless of another platforms bid, thats all !

[findtim]

once upon a time it was a "game" . i don't see it like that now but also i don't bid anymore.
i think the general rule of thumb is place your highest bid and go back to work ! there's no point waiting @ to the last 10 minutes.

no doubt someone will correct me.

So I'm getting the sense that dropped domains are generally no good but good for someone like me trying to turn $20 into $50. You search all the domain marketplaces to find one you feel and calculate is a good option. Then head to your registery whether netfleet/uniregistry etc. where you search for the domain and bid. Correct?

trying to turn $20 into $50

if you think like that most will say don't even start. better to buy hot coke cans from coles, chill them and sell them as cold coke on the gold coast beaches.

well, thats my bankruptcy plan !

Thanks Tim, obviously my dream is much greater and I am lookong to ultimately increase a second income stream, however I was merely indicating my desire to mitigate my risk in the early stages and get my feet wet.
