Domainfest is next week in Santa Monica, California.
Fortunately, the weather will be excellent. Typical L.A. winter weather.
The following premium domains are for sale. 
They are being offered through the website GenericDomainSales . The website does not have any solid contact information and the website ownership is hidden behind whois privacy. In situations like this, it is best to be cautious about purchasing the domains until it can be confirmed the seller is actually the domain owner. It appears there is a connection (but unconfirmed) with GenericDomainNameSales.com and also Todd Reum.
The website offers the email contact address as sales@GenericDomainSales.com

In October, Toby Clements announced a contest. One buyer and one seller would receive $ 1,000. each.
When a company runs a contest, they always state who won at the end of the contest.
So, who were the winners?
(Toby Clements announcement - October, 2011)
All,
Today, I want to announce a monthly bonus for October:
If you buy or sell a name with us for the entire month of October, your name will be put on a list. At the end of the month, I will pick two people (one buyer and one seller). The winners will each get their pick of either a $1,000 store credit with TobyClements.com (for future domain deals) or a $1,000 Gift Card to the store of their choice. With all of the domains we have and all of the holiday’s coming up, either prize is a true winner.
The rules are simple:
- Every purchase and/or sale qualifies you Regardless of price! (that’s right, a $500 domain purchase gives you a shot at $1,000!)
- Each domain deal this month gets you an entry.
- Multiple domains on one deal is still One Entry.
- No discounted commission deals qualify.
- All decisions made by me are final.
All this being said, if you have submissions, please get them over to us at Submissions [at] TobyClements.com.
If you are thinking about buying a name, this is a great month to get a bonus for doing it.
Best of luck to all of you and we will announce the winner in November.
Regards,
Toby Clements
U.S. Congress
Today, a U.S. Senate committee overseeing commerce and technology asked Icann and other stakeholders – “what is the hurry?”
Icann told the senators they are moving ahead with the introduction of the new gtld. Icann has already held hearings and published the guide books covering the new gtld. It was very obvious that Icann is not answerable to the U.S. Congress.
Representatives from the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), YMCA and other associations explained it will cost the firms they represent millions in unnecessary domain registrations and renewals to prevent cybersquatting. And, the domains will not be beneficial to them.
More information about today’s U.S. Senate hearing can be seen at Clickz.
Earlier today, I noticed a number of bids on DNForum for zvy.com and xz.org.
3 letter .com and 2 letter .org domains are valuable. But, why pay the standard market price for a 3 letter .com like zvy.com when it doesn’t contain one good letter. The underlying value for 3 letter .com domain for a domainer is knowing a possible enduser will have a use for it. Who could possibly use zvy? Checking the different acronym databases, no uses turned up which is unusual.
Furthermore, 2 letter .org domains are rare. And, possibly an organization might have a use for the letter ‘x’. But, who could use xz.org? The Ex Zen Assn?
In the same sales section of DNForum, one could buy a premium 3 letter .com for a few more thousand (dollars) than the cost of zvy.com. Knowing there is an instant market for the domain.
I suspect the possible buyer of zvy.com and xz.org is gambling. Unfortunately, hoping there is a bigger fool down the road.
The seller of the domains purchased the domains recently. They were purchased in the range of $ 2,500. each. And, he plans to flip these low value domains for a quick profit.
Add’l facts – zvy.com sold today. As an educated guess, the domain sold in the range of $ 5,000.+.
How did we let this Birthday slip by without any fanfare?
Namejet’s first day of operation was 4 yrs and 2 months ago. October 5, 2007.
Namejet was 4 years old in October. It’s amazing how quickly they grow up.
3 different 3 letter .orgs were sold on Namejet today.
The 3 domains were originally purchased in May, 2011 by the domainer Oliver Hoger. He sold the domains in June, 2011 plus a few other 3 letter domains to Media Options in Panama.
6 weeks ago, Media Options contracted with Namejet to sell the 3 .org domains in an auction which ended today.
TEO.org sold for $ 2,600.
TAJ.org sold for $ 1,309. And, with an interesting twist, Oliver Hoger was the high bidder.
The premium domain TLT.org sold for $ x,xxx.
domainer pondering the best sales platform
Here is a clear example of the price difference when you have a large quantity of active buyers interested in a domain.
2 weeks ago, 1V1.com was offered on the domain forums . Over a period of 10 days, the highest offer was $ 700. The lowest offer was $ 100. from a well known domainer - Oliver Hoger. The seller decided to sell it through the domain brokerage site – Sedo.
Last week, 1V1.com sold on Sedo for $ 4,000. The payment has been received by Sedo but the whois has not changed as of today.
Congratulations to the seller – Michael Belair.
eRx.com sold in auction today on Namejet for $ 7,100.
It was purchased by the Panama company – Media Options.
Media Options continuously purchases premium domains at low prices to sell at higher prices in the future. (Buy low, Sell high.) My compliments on the business strategy.
I’m sure this one slipped by a number of domainers looking for a homerun purchase.
eRx.com is being auctioned off in the next couple days on Namejet. If you don’t already have your initial bid in, it is too late for you to enter the final bidding process.
What a great domain for an online drug store.
Good luck.
