Portfolio 100+ domain auction

woopwoop · Jan 6, 2015

I've added BINs to the new spreadsheet here:
Update: Link to the spreadsheet will now be PMed to anyone who bid in the auction.

If you were the highest bidder, you have the first 24 hours to claim dibs.
If you were a non-highest bidder on any name in the auction you have 48 hours to offer the BIN and if the highest bidder doesn't claim in the first 24 hours it's yours.
Updated: After 48 hours (Thursday onwards) the link to the names with the BIN prices will be posted and it'll be open to anyone to make an offer... but I am seeking out endusers so no guarantees.

Some in the list did sell:
Helmuts got lilford for £20 (let me know if you want any others at BIN to transfer together)

bensd got the following for £1 each (total=£32):

3. Anyone who bids on a domain will see the auction BIN prices after it has closed. The highest bidder will be given priority in accepting the BIN price during the 24 hours after I send out the BINs.

But, now everyone can see them? Not just me as highest bidder for a name?

Alien - I backtracked and made the updates above.

The link will go public on Thursday for everyone. But it was in the original intention as quoted that anyone who placed a bid (even non-highest, on any domain) would see all the BINs. The highest bidder still receives 24hours priority. This was one of the differences to the original format. I was trying to get more bids this way across a wider selection of names.

My mistake was publishing the link for non-bidders to see so early - sorry!

I'll PM the link to bidders now.

In hindsight would it not of been much easier just to skip the auction and do the list of domains with BIN prices to begin with.

Probably. I was exhausted (not from the auction!) when I posted the link last night... It's been removed and everyone who bid should have now received it.

On Thursday I'll post the BINs publicly - also some of the names will be removed by then.

So hopefully there was some incentive to bid !
