There were some good results from Moniker’s Domain name auction in New York this week.

Here are some Key indicators from the list:

Total Sales:

$10.87 million

Averages:

$93,687 per domain sold

Average sale by domain extension:

• .com – $119,808
• .net – $27,062
• .info – $19,000
• .org – $18,500
• .biz – $15,000
• .mobi – $14,875
• .us – $14,500
• .de – $9,750

Percentage sold by extension:

• .biz – 100% (1 sale)
• .de – 100% (1 sale)
• .info – 100% (2 sales)
• .org – 77.78% (7 sales, 2 no sale)
• .net – 61.54% (16 sales, 10 no sale)
• .com – 54.49% (85 sales, 71 no sale)
• .us – 50% (2 sales, 2 no sale)
• .mobi – 18.18% (2 sales, 9 no sale)

.mobi might be losing steam. After several six figure sales in their launch, the mobile extension failed to reach the reserve on 9 of their 11 offerings, despite most of them having reserves in the mid 5 and 4 figures. I wrote an earlier post on why .mobi might lose its worth.

.tv also saw a no sale on its only offering at the auction – StockMarket.tv. Its reserve was at a mere $7500, raising serious doubts on the extension’s future as the Television central in the web. The Moldova extension .md, trying to identify itself as the medical extension, made an unsuccessful appearance too with Z.md.

Overall the auction can be seen as a success and shows a strong domain market. It will be interesting to hear what happens next week when I attend the ICANN meeting where they will be discussing the future of gTLDs and the possibility of introducing new ones.
