Texas.St and 27 other State domains have been put up for auction in what is to surely prove one of this year’s biggest internet domain sales. The portfolio of domain names is being auctioned at www.lovethename.com by the present owner Bill Roy, an English domainer specializing in logical domains.
“There is an old saying – ‘There is nothing new under the sun!’” says Rever Thabiti, VP Sales and Marketing at LoveTheName.com. “In 1664 New York was bought for $24 worth of beads and trinkets, in 1867 Alaska was bought for $7.2 million, and now in 2006 over half of the State domain names in the US are up for sale by auction with total opening bids valued at $7.25 million. The individual auctions for each State have a starting bid price of $250,000, with the exception of Texas, which due to its size and economic importance, has a starting bid price of $500,000.”
