Yahoo has decided to release some of its premium domain names to the public through an auction at Sedo…
Yahoo!’s Domainapalooza (hyperlink updated Nov. 16th)
This premium domain name portfolio auction started today, November 14th, and runs through November 21st, 2013. It is an impressive collection of some premium domain names, that is for sure. Although there are quite a few names that I feel are not very good (especially for the reserve price indicated), there are some great domains in the bunch…
- AV.com
- WebServer.com
- Sandwich.com
- Sled.com
- VoiceMail.com
- Crackers.com
- Freeby.com/.net
- BlogsPort.com (or brand it as BlogSport.com)
Please note that the above is merely a sampling of some of the best domain names in the Yahoo Domainapalooza premium domain portfolio auction. But that portfolio is listing over 500 names on its first day, and Yahoo! also indicates that it will also be adding even more domain names throughout the auction.
This is a big opportunity to get a name that can be built into a dominant brand within its industry, not only for players collecting names, but also for entrepreneurs such as myself that develop the names into brands and fully-functional websites, as well as those looking for a great name with which to launch their company.
That said, there is nothing better to allow a great app to take off, by marketing a highly brandable name. Mobile designers and developers and start-ups may really want to take a gander at the names available here. As an example, if you are working on an audio/visual app, what better domain than that of AV.com? I men, some of these names are no-brainers. I wish I could afford some.

It is quite possible that you walk away with a great brandable domain name which you could develop into a profitable website or business? Very likely, considering the quality of some of these names. Especially with names that have an excellent second meaning.
Remember that some of these names have a uniquely Yahoo perspective. For instance, I would not want MYM.com, but very possibly it may have been intended for My Yahoo Mail, or My Yahoo Messenger. And as a 3 letter dot com, it could be quite valuable to the right party.

As of this writing, there are 517 domain names available for auction and with Yahoo planning to add even more this may become the most watched premium domain name portfolio auction in history. As a domainer and developer, my interest is aroused. As a businessman, it is maxed. I wish I didn't have so much tied-up in other endeavors at the moment. But I will definitely study this list thoroughly.
Happy domaining! I hope there will be many domainers taking advantage of this opportunity to add to their portfolio and domainate the market with such great and industry domainating names. ;)
