Not everything is about domains. Rick Latona Auctions is now accepting any and all submissions to our auctions. Allow me to explain.

February 24th, 2009 by Rick Latona

I think that’s a Jonas Brother’s signature. LOL

A month or so ago I was thinking about our auction business. It occured to me that I have an auctioneer, an auction staff and a willing audience. It was one of those “whoa” moments where I realized I should be auctioning off anything and everything that people in the audience may want.

That doesn’t mean that I’m going to start auctioning off vinyl albums and country lakes. It means I want to auction off other products and services my audience may need. Don’t get me wrong, if you have a rare antique sitting around you want to auction at no reserve just to warm up the audience, I’ll listen. That’s just not the point of this post.

What I’m looking for are hosting companies, traffic companies, web design firms and anything related who wish to auction off their wares and services to an onsite and online audience of domain owners.

If you have a company you feel fits that category, please contact me and we’ll talk business. Perhaps I can promote you to a targeted group and put some cash in your company’s coffers.

We have two major auctions coming in April. First, we’ll be at The Phoenix Forum. Later, we’ll be at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Silicon Valley event.

    Rick, one of my domains is listed on your Phoenix Forum for silent auction at no reserve. Please promote it in any way possible to get the word out. :)

    super idea! If nothing else it may wake up the attendees. Hey how about starbucks cards:)

    Most peeps prolly have hosting they want but web design sounds great if priced right.

    Am thinking here maybe laptops and iPods type stuff donated by “such and such” company? The bidders may get some deals and the sponsors get some exposure.

  3. Bright idea but probably still need a lot of work and won’t be successful from the beginning but may work in the future. Good luck with this idea!

    Spice it!

    I agree with Daniel, it will have some obstacle (which normal) but it might work.

    Cheers,

    Geee at first I thought I had just found somewhere to market all those old vinyl albums I got ;)

    Seriously, I think it’s a great idea… some vertical lift. Good luck.

    I would contact sitepoint sellers that can’t move big ticket e-commerce sites via sitepoint

  8. Hello Rick,
