LuxuryNames.com is holding another auction! In fact, it started earlier today. It opened up today, March 2nd, and will end on Thursday, March 4th at 3:15 EST. The auction itself is being held at SnapNames.com.

These domain names stood out for me as I browsed the list:

BallerinaShoes.net
Chandeliers.net <– 673,000 EXACT SEARCHES PER MONTH
CorrectiveSurgery.com
CreditRestoration.org
MoscowVacations.com
PrivateAirplanes.com
RefinanceCalculator.com
RentalApartments.net

Two things I like about this auction is that it’s short, only two days and there are only 45 domain names available. I’d suggest finding a name that you like and bidding quick. Before you know it the auction will be over.

Visit SnapNames.com to view the full list and bid.

On Friday I announced my first domain name sales newsletter was going out on Monday of which I asked for domain submissions. Well, I received around 90 emails with about 1,000 domain names for consideration. I still have not had the opportunity to sort through them all.

I wanted to share with everyone the first newsletter to show the range of deals and domain names. Listed were domain names from $300 to $25,000. If any of these domain names interest you just click on the name and either post sold or your best offer.

This will be the first and only time I post the newsletter. The second newsletter will come out this Thursday so make sure to sign up. To sign up simply enter your email address on the form located to the top right of this blog.

More Than 300 Names & Surnames Up for Grabs in the Next .ME Auction

Podgorica, Montenegro – March 2, 2010 – The .ME Registry and NameJet announced the Internet’s largest online auction of personal names today. If you’ve ever wanted your own name as a domain, now is your chance! More than 300 personal names and surnames with a .ME extension are up for auction, starting April 5, 2010.

“We’ve had phenomenal success working with NameJet in the past. Their online auction platform is a perfect venue for this upcoming auction of personal names — the biggest online auction event the .ME Registry has ever held,” stated Predrag Lesic, Executive Director of the .ME Registry. “The popularity of social media makes this an opportune time to create a personal presence online and, as we’ve told the world from the start, dot-ME is as personal as it gets. Dot-ME is all about YOU!”

Here’s a glimpse at some of the many popular names available in this auction:

Andrew.Me
Adam.Me
Brian.Me
Daniel.Me
Douglas.Me
Eric.Me
Jack.Me
James.Me
Jason.Me
John.Me
Kevin.Me
Lindsey.Me
Maria.Me
Paul.Me
Peters.Me
Scott.Me
Shawn.Me
Steve.Me
Ryan.Me
William.Me

For the full list of available first names and surnames, go to www.PersonalNames.Me.

“This is the first time in the history of domains that more than 300 premium personal names have gone to auction at the same time. It’s so rare to gain control of your very own name with any domain extension. Imagine having it with a dot-ME – the ultimate personal domain,” said Steve Brown, General Manager of NameJet.

“Dot-ME is the ideal personal Web site domain,” noted Lesic. “Imagine the power of being the ONLY person in the world to own your first name or last name through dot-ME, even though millions of others have the very same name.”

.ME is proving to be extraordinarily popular for so many reasons. More than 350,000 .ME domains have been registered in the two years since the domain extension’s launch and a number are used for online call-to-action and catch phrase branding by businesses worldwide. One noteworthy example is Facebook, which is using FB.Me as its URL shortener. For other examples and articles about the many clever uses of .ME, visit ExploreTheWorldOf.Me.

To learn more about the .ME Registry, developing a .ME business idea through non-auction allocation of a .ME domain, or to find out how to register a .ME domain, go to www.Domain.Me.

You all know I love a good contest! Here is one from Name.com created exclusively for my ChefPatrick.com readers.

In case you haven’t heard already, to celebrate .com’s 25th anniversary Name.com is running a special this month on their .com, .net and .me extensions. If you register any of those extensions you’ll get their special price of $8.25. This special is running for the entire month of March.

Here’s where the contest comes in. Every time you register one of those extensions using a special “chefpatrick” promo code you automatically get entered into a drawing.  For the whole month of March, five weekly winners will be announced. Each winner will receive a $50 account credit. That’s just awesome, but there’s more!

Everyone that registers a .com, .net or a .me using the promo code will also be entered into a grand prize drawing to be held at the end of March. That lucky person will get a $500 account credit for their Name.com account.

I’m jealous I can’t enter the contest!!

The winners will be announced for the $50 credit every week exclusively here on ChefPatrick.com, so be sure to check back every week to find out if you were a winner. Then of course the grand prize will be announced here as the first week of April.

So go register some names and don’t forget the promo code: chefpatrick
