Posted on September 30th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | 1 Comment »

Domain Convergence, a domain-industry conference and educational meeting to be held in Niagara Falls, Ontario from October 6-8, 2008, will feature a live premium domain name auction. The auction will be operated by Fusu, the domain aftermarket specialist.

Fusu’s live auction platform will debut on October 8th, 2008 at 3:00pm EDT. The auction is scheduled for 1 hour live at the conference and will extend to a seven day Internet auction for domains that were not sold during the live auction. Fusu will charge a 15% fee to the seller, plus 1% upfront of the reserve price as a listing fee to encourage lower reserves. Fusu’s exclusivity period for the domain sale is 30 days.

“Our aim is to put together a great conference for the Canadian and international domainer community, filled with valuable sessions and opportunities to network. The live auction is the icing on the cake,” said Frank Michlick, chairman of DomainConvergence.

Domain Convergence is aiming for around 30 to 40 hand-picked, well-priced domains, set at a fair and reasonable price. The audience will consist of a select group of domainers and Internet marketing professionals, but bidding will also be available online.

Domain name owners are requested to submit their domains via email to auction@domainconvergence.com until October 4th, 2008 and include their reserve price as well as their postal address and phone number.
