This very special video is sponsored by LuxuryNames.com. Make sure to watch the video, we’re talking limousines, a beautiful woman, Moet champaign and over $3,000 in LuxuryNames.com and DomainSuperstar.com prizes.

Sorry in advance for the poor video quality. We had no choice but to record video while in the limousine on the way to the airport. It was raining badly and we had to catch our flight. LuxuryNames.com knows how to do things in style!

Congrats to the LuxuryNames.com Auction contest winners!

Also a special thank you to David and J of Black Diamond Luxury Transportation for the ride to the airport in that beautiful Navigator limousine.

The drawing for the LuxuryNames auction contest has been postponed until Friday’s video. Because of the holiday week there are still some people that haven’t paid yet thus, not allowing them to have an entry placed into the drawing. We want to give everyone a chance and understand that some people were traveling for the holiday and are just getting around to making payments.

Thank you for you patience with this.

Make sure to watch Friday’s video to watch the announcement, presented in a special way of course, and to hear what’s cooking in the domain world!

LuxuryNames.com has teamed up with DomainSuperstar.com to put together a couple great prizes for two successful winners in the LuxuryNames auction at SnapNames starting today and ending on November 24th.

Prizes:

Grand Prize includes both €1,000 of COLD HARD CASH (approximately $1,487 US) and a FULL YEAR subscription to Domain SuperStar’s Premium Tools, valued at $770, making this prize worth over $2,250 US.

Second Prize is a full year subscription to Domain SuperStar’s Premium Tools valued at $770, no cash included.

(Only persons who have successfully won and paid for an auction will be eligible – full  details will be announced tomorrow but I have the scoop today).

Why is LuxuryNames doing this?

They believe in this industry and believe in buyers who want to develop great names. They also understand some may need a little help in this incredibly tough economic time. Obviously the goal of the auction is to sell domain names, however they also believe many domain owners want to mature faster in the development stage, so what better way then to provide some premium tools and cash to do this.

What can the €1,000 be used for?

The goal of this contest is to help the lucky winner financially to bring his/her new domain to life. The money will be paid directly to you. Of course it’s understood that some may want to use the money to pay off credit cards, enjoy a cheeky night out or double down at the poker table, however the hope is the winner will use these funds for development – something that can be showcased down the road if so desired.

The winners will be determined in a video drawing on December 1st (one week after the auction close) by me, Chef Patrick, with at least one lovely assistant. LuxuryNames has already gone on record saying they take no responsibility for the video on December 1^st. You know how I announce winners.

What are you waiting for? 80% of the domain names in this auction have reserves under $1,500. Bid now!
