.ME of course

Sedo has just closed numerous Premium.Verb.Me auctions, this blog featured a month ago, raising in total $152,290 on 29 domain names (average price $5,251). As usual, the last day was quite vivid with most of the prices doubled and best bids revealed just in the last few minutes.

Four English verbs did not meet their reserves:

• employ.me - $3,000 - (bidding details)
• promote.me - $1,674 - (bidding details)
• clean.me - $1,550 - (bidding details)

Six Serbian premium domains did poor.ly as they probably did not attract serious investors or entrepreneurs, yet two had enjoyed bids above $1k:

• uporedi.me (remind.me / warn.me) - $1,250 - (bidding details)
• izaberi.me (choose.me / elect.me) - $120 - (bidding details)
• dodaj.me (add.me) - $80 - (bidding details)
• zapamti.me (remember.me) - $70 - (bidding details)

Two local names did not match their reserves:

• zaposli.me (send.me) - $1950 - (bidding details)
• kupi.me (buy.me) - $500 - (bidding details)

The registry could have potential.ly dispose the six domains with unmet reserves for $13,174 but that would lead to the average price on these domains to $2,196. They are probably better off with just waiting until the next round.

Obvious.ly, the results for English domains were a bit higher: 25 domains went for total $150,770, making on average $6,030 on every jingling .me domain.
