Checking out a domain auction recently, I noticed anyonebuthillary.com is on the block. Asking price? $25,000. So, far no takers, but it got me thinking about local domains. Have these started to take off in price too? You bet… check it out:
If you click on the link above it will take you to the auction (new window). Then you can enter a town or city in the box next to ‘begins with’ to check out the prices of local domains near you. With newyorkrealtors.com going for a cool $10grand, who knows?, maybe you’ll get lucky.
Some other interesting domain names I found on the auctioneer’s block:
- bergencountypsychologists.com - $1,850
- westchesterflorist.com - $4,088
- nyfurniture.com - $48,000
I went in and snagged a couple hotties, despite seeing no actual bids beside any of the above terms.

Okay, now someone has to explain to me what New York Amateur Invitational Bowling is and why it would be worth $50,000.00.
I don’t get out enough. I know that’s the answer.
Cool to hear the Yahoo oddity was only a little blip.

Miriam, your comment really made me laugh. I can’t understand it either… though I don’t get out much either
. They seem to be outrageously priced and thus no bidders. I’m sure there is a reason but I don’t know it either.
