You’ll rarely hear me call a purchase at an auction a good deal — they generally represent the current state of the market rather well, however I’m a bit surprised to see what a few CVCVs have sold for on NameJet lately.

I don’t like Network Solutions and I’ve largely stayed away from using NameJet myself because of the fact I don’t want to financially support  what Network Solutions stands for, however it sure is tempting to start using them when I see CVCVs selling for what I’ve seen them sell for lately…

TAXO.com sold on NameJet yesterday for $1650 — even if you’re not a fan of LLLL.coms or short domains, you can surely appreciate the development possibilities of this name, and to be frank, I’m a bit shocked to see this one sold for so much less than many of the other recent CVCV sales — 16 of the past 25 CVCV sales (without a Y or Q) since March have sold for more than TAXO. I wonder if this one had been put on auction around say, March-April if we would have seen different results. NameJet is by no means normally a cheap venue for CVCVs, with only 2 of the past 9 (going all the way back to February 17th) CVCVs of triple or quad premium quality selling for less than TAXO.

NameJet had one CVCV sale in April that would certainly qualify as being a “steal” — DIFE.com selling for $901 on April 15th. You have to go all the way back to 2006 to see a reported CVCV sale having sold for less. Since May of 2008, no other reported sales of quad premium CVCVs have been for under $1800, nevermind under $1000.
