auction. Only 3,000 premier domains will make the cut.
SnapNames Live(TM), an integrated live and online auction platform
developed by SnapNames(R), another Oversee.net company, will power online
bidding at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West 2008. The SnapNames Live system allows the
auctioneer to simultaneously recognize bidders in the room and online; a video
stream lets bidders and viewers follow the action via the Internet. This is
the first Moniker auction powered by SnapNames Live since Moniker joined the
Oversee family in January.
"After successful auctions in 2007, Moniker is ready to begin 2008 not
only with some of the best inventory available in one place, but also using
the exciting SnapNames Live system," said Monte Cahn, president of
Moniker.com. "In addition, we are eager to start T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West with a
no- and low-reserve auction to help drive participation in our premium auction
later in the week."
Presented by the World Association of Domain Name Developers, Inc.
(WADND), T.R.A.F.F.I.C. is the domain industry's signature conference series.
Jim McCann, CEO of 1800-FLOWERS and Flowers.com, will keynote T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
West 2008 in Las Vegas.
Concurrent Online Auction Available At Moniker.Com
Moniker will also be hosting an online auction in conjunction with the
live events in Las Vegas with thousands of additional names to bid on. The
online auction will begin on February 20 and continue into the week following
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. West 2008.
The online auction provides additional opportunities for individuals to
purchase domain names that will support their overall portfolio.
In 2007, Moniker hosted ten live and online domain name auctions at
industry and niche events, topping more than $30 million in total sales.
