The MissDomain.com charity auction for Haiti ended last week. The auction did very well in my opinion, and collected a total of €10 192 with 73 of the donated domains selling!

Top 10 highest sales from the auction

Most domains sold for under €100, 15 domains sold for €100+ with “ij.se” toping the list at €2530. Here is the top 10 sales from the auction…

  • IJ.se – €2350
  • Forsakringar.nu (“Insurances”) – €1100
  • Webhotell.com (“Web host”) – €900
  • Prylar.nu (“Gadgets”) – €850
  • Uthyres.nu (“For Rent”) – €850

  • Festlokaler.nu (website PR4) (“Party Premises”) – €325
  • BytJobb.nu (“Switch Work Place”) – €225
  • Idol.nu – €190

My Own Acquisition – “Wallpaper”

As I mentioned in my last post about the Haiti auction, there where some good deals to be made on the mostly Swedish domains. I managed to by one domain myself – “Bakgrundsbild.se” (the Swedish word for “Computer Wallpaper”) – I got a good deal on that name getting it for the starting bid of €20. The keyword has 18 000+ exact local searches/month here in Sweden, and I have some good plans for development of the domain!

The .SE and .NU is sponsoring a domain name auction, held by Miss Domain, in favor for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Some nice Swedish, and a few English domains, have been donated!

I just found out about this auction by reading a post on Domain Name News. The auction is organized by Miss Domain, and starts on February 5th (submissions should be in by Feb 4th). The domains submitted so far is mostly Swedish, and the mayor TLD is .SE and .NU, but there is also a few .COM / .NET / .INFO and .EU domains.

Being from Sweden myself, the .SE is of course very interesting. But the .NU is also a very popular TLD here in Sweden, since “Nu” actually is the word for “Now” in Swedish (and I also think that it´s the same in Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands).

Favorite Domains and Translations

Here is some of my favorites from the ones listed right now, along with a English translated words for the ones in Swedish…

  • Flygplan.nu (Aircraft)
  • Forsakringar.nu (The way of typing “Insurance” without using an IDN)
  • Bakgrundsbild.se (Background Image / Computer Wallpaper)
  • Omyndig.se (Under-age)
  • Skidor.nu (Skis)
  • Actually.se

The starting bid for each domain will be €20 and the auction will last 7 days from the starting date.
