Good Afternoon Folks!!

In April I ran 2 contests so domainers could show off their appraisal skills. Many posted their guesses but only 2 were able to win.

The first contest was for how much SmartPhones.com would sell for at TRAFFIC in Silicon Valley this past April. The actual selling price was $95,000 and Edwin Sherman came closest with his entry of $92,000. Edwin receives a free ticket to the New York Show in October. Congratulations!

The next contest involved a total of 6 domain names. 3 auctioned by RickLatona.com and 3 auctioned by Moniker.com.

From Rick Latona

Shows.com NO RESERVE and Sold for 102k
SmartPhones.com $50k Reserve and Sold for 95k
WaterPurifiers.com $15k Reserve and did not sell.

From Moniker.com

Exhibiting.com $1k-$5k Reserve and Sold for $5000
HotProducts.com NO RESERVE and Sold for $9000
GolfCaddy.com $1k-$5k Reserve and Sold for $5500

Total $ 216,500

The winning entry was submitted by Andrea Mignolo at $215,000 and thereby being named 'Appraiser of the Year.' The award will be given at the New York TRAFFIC Show during our Awards Luncheon. And of course Andrea will also receive a free ticket to the show as promised.

Congratulations to both our winners who had the gut and guts to call the numbers in front of their peers!!

Have a GREAT Day!
