NamesCon's Auction Numbers Firm Up – Plus a .si Flip That Turned $12 Into $14,500

NameBio's own tracking put a number on Tuesday's trading: 707 sales of $100 or more worth a reported $542,074, plus another 2,980 sales under $100 adding $39,909, as the fuller write-up breaks down. Add those together and you land close to the roughly $582,000 NameBio's own post quoted for the day, so the two sets of figures line up.

That table also fills in two gaps from NamesCon coverage. Andrew Hazen said he'd picked up EquipmentAuction.com at the show "for a bargain" without naming a figure; NameBio has it at $7,000. He also mentioned buying RealEstateClasses.com, thanking @MonteCahn, again with no price given at the time; that one lands at $1,500.

The same table adds names to the NamesCon auction that TLD Investors hadn't live-tweeted: domainparking.com sold for $20,000, vacantlots.com for $15,000, vacantlot.com for $12,750 and forms.org for $12,500, all through the Right of the Dot sale. The day's total also folded in a one-word AI domain at $22,000 that I've covered the build-up to before, so I'll just note it sold and leave it there.

Where TLD Investors did tweet live, the numbers check out exactly against NameBio's data: Always.org at $8,500, creditprocessing.com at $5,500, remotepilot.com at $4,000 and Liters.com at $3,000 all match. His complaint that 130 names was too many for one live auction – he reckons 50 would sit better – reads fair against the passes he flagged: NND.net's reserve coming off before it sold for under $1,000, AgenticCode.com stalling at a $2,600 counter-offer that drew no bid, and datingonline.com topping out at a $5,500 bid with no sale.

Two firsthand .si sales, outside the auction room

Away from the NamesCon floor, two sellers posted their own .si deals, and both are worth more than the usual "domain sold" tweet because the sellers gave real numbers on both ends.

Youness Kasmi said he sold GeneralIntuition.si for $14,500 via Afternic, after hand-registering it for $12.25 and holding it about a month. He says the name turned up while he was testing new tools for his site, dnrater. DomainCX also flagged the sale on X, but that post points back to Youness's own tweet rather than adding a separate number, so it's one account, not two.

Separately, a seller posting as K said they'd sold Wanda.si for $6,000 at NamesCon, again thanking @MonteCahn. Both are the seller's own word on their own deal, which is about as solid as this kind of claim gets, and both land in the range the .si chatter has been pointing to for weeks.

Retail sales, still checking out

Of the five Domain.News retail sales I covered from Tuesday, three turn up in NameBio's own tracking with matching figures: amcs.com at $13,751, bolt.xyz at $12,805 and 8f.cc at $12,000, all via GoDaddy exactly as reported. topdeal.com at $15,008 and smartassist.com at $13,508 don't appear in NameBio's named sales, so they stay as single-source reports for now. The registry record for smartassist.com still shows it registered on 5 November, days before the reported sale, which still points to a drop-catch flip rather than a name that's been sitting in a portfolio.

RestartingAmerica.com's reported $20,000 sale hasn't picked up a second source since Frank Meester's original post – no buyer named, no platform given. His smaller $499 sale, UunmaskedWoman.com, is in the same boat.

Also on my radar

Does a tracked data source matching a live-tweeter's numbers settle a NamesCon price for you, and does a seller naming their own hand-reg cost make a flip story just as solid? Let me know.

I love domaining and support the domain industry
