Yahoo to auction over 100 domain names ranging from $1,000 to $1.5 million

&gt; The company has simply decided it wants a quick revenue bump as these domains have likely hit their peak in value.<p>This is a ridiculous observation given that Yahoo has revenue in billions of USD, and no, selling domains for thousands of dollars will not be any kind of meaningful &quot;quick revenue bump.&quot; Tech reporting at its finest right here.

A lot of them are good old (noun).com. Those seem valuable at first, but is that still the case? It used to be that people would build a brand around something like pets.com, but now it seems much more popular to create a brand name that is more identifiable and trademarkable.

Ah, av.com. The good old redirect to altavista.com. I wonder how much they payed for that back in the days...

Here are some that caught my eye:<p>• webserver.com (250k-500k) • finalcountdown.com (10k-25k) • sandwich.com (50k-100k) • airtrafficcontrol.com (10k-25k)<p>I imagine sandwich.com might be a good asset for a chain sandwich restaurant (subway or quiznos, perhaps).

I really hope the producers of <i>Arrested Development</i> buy finalcountdown.com

Seems more likely that Yahoo is preparing to take a write-down on a collection of assets and is trying to mitigate the total amount by auctioning off the leftovers.

I guess they&#x27;re still holding on to broadcast.com. $5 billion for a 301 to yahoo.com, maybe they&#x27;re waiting for the right buyer.

Webcal.com for $5000? That seems way too cheap.

This article reminded me how mammals.org would redirect to Apple. I just tested it and it doesn&#x27;t work any longer. :(

Mostly significantly over valued. They will draw attention though so maybe they&#x27;ll get high prices.

Yahoo is cleaning up the house before vacating it and relocating elsewhere. This is just a garage sale.

Fellow HN&#x27;ers,<p>I had purchased a domain which I&#x27;m planning to Sell now. (iAppleService.com)<p>I&#x27;m totally new to this Domain Selling business.<p>- How do you guys proceed to find the Right buyer? Can someone share their experience. Looking for help.

I wonder how much legacy code can be pushed malware using one of these.

Honestly, I think this is great. Let these solid domains get used.

jumpcut was an amazing tool. I wish they didn&#x27;t deadpool it.

Why buy westerns.com when you could buy .westerns instead?

surprised not to see broadcast.com on there.

truestory.com sounds cool
