Recent closed auction results.
Data last updated UTC
Domain auctions that have already ended, across the major marketplaces. Each row shows the last price bid, how much activity it drew, and when it closed. A closing figure is the final bid rather than a confirmed sale, since auctions can end below their reserve.

How to read this
Price is the last bid on record before the auction closed. Bidding in the closing minutes can land above it.
A closing price is not a confirmed sale. We record what the auction reached, not what changed hands: a reserve may not have been met, and an auction can be cancelled or the domain reclaimed by its owner.
Only auctions are listed. Buy-It-Now and make-offer listings carry an asking price rather than a bid, so they are excluded. A number nobody has bid against is not a result.
History can change what a price means. Bidders may have been paying for a former website’s traffic, links or reputation rather than for the name. Two names of the same shape are not comparable until you have checked what each one used to be.
This is the contested end of each marketplace rather than its full inventory, and nothing that closed below $100 is listed. Prices are USD, times are UTC.
Every row carries two research actions. Archive opens the domain’s capture calendar at the Internet Archive, which is free and answers most of what history can tell you. Backlinks opens Semrush, which is not. Unpaid recommendation. See disclosure.
Why some rows show bids and others show bidders
| Marketplace | Role | Activity | What that means here |
|---|---|---|---|
| GoDaddy | Operator | Bids | Registrar expiry auctions. The feed also carries member listings with an asking price rather than a bid, and those are excluded here. |
| Catched | Drop-catch | Bids | A primary drop-catcher rather than a shop window: rows carry which registrar physically caught the name, so this adds inventory instead of repeating it. |
| DropCatch | Drop-catch | Bids and bidders | Names caught at the moment they were released, then auctioned between the people who backordered them. Publishes both a bid and a bidder count. |
| NameJet | Drop-catch | Bidders | Publishes a bidder count and no bid count at all, so its rows are the lower of the two measures. A NameJet 12 is not comparable with a GoDaddy 12. |
| park.io | Drop-catch | Bids | Drop-catch auctions, historically strongest on the developer-facing extensions rather than .com. |
| Dynadot | Aggregator | Bids and bidders | A marketplace showing mostly other registrars’ auctions alongside its own. Where the same auction reaches us twice, the operator’s record is the one kept. |
| Sav | Aggregator | Bids and bidders | Also lists other platforms’ inventory, overlapping heavily with Dynadot. Deduplicated against it rather than counted twice. |
A bid is one action; a bidder is one account that may have bid thirty times. The two are never comparable as a single number. The longer version
