Valencia bound. I really wish I had practiced my Spanish before this trip.
April 30, 2009 by Rick Latona · 7 Comments
I’m off to Valencia today for a small but I’m sure worthy meeting of domainers in Spain. I’m looking forward to meeting new people and relaxing a bit.
While we are still pushing our extended auction and will be working through the nights closing deals on the remaining names from the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show in Santa Clara it is also time to focus squarly on Amsterdam.
So here I go to Europe to rally the troops.
Major reserve reductions on DietPill.com, SleepingPill.com and SleepingPills.com

Shows.com - The best no reserve name ever for a live auction?
April 20, 2009 by Rick Latona · 9 Comments
What could you do with the domain shows.com? Would you focus on Broadway? Vegas? Television?
Tuesday April 28th you might have a chance to make that decision. Rick Latona Auctions will be putting this name on the block at no reserve at the Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show in Silicon Valley.
It should be exciting seeing how this name does. It could flop due to the economy or it could really take off. All budgets should be watching the auction with paddle in hand though because this isn’t an opportunity that comes often.
DigiLoan.com is here. A new financing option for buyers of premium domains.
April 17, 2009 by Rick Latona · 8 Comments
Six years ago I launched DigiPawn, the first of its kind. We started advancing cash using domains as collateral and while it nearly broke my bank we survived and thrived.
Some time later the good folks at Domain Capital came onto the scene. Great guys, they are. We really have a fantastic relationship with them.
Now, I’d like to formally announce DigiLoan. While we are similar to Domain Capital in structure there is one main difference. If you want to borrow money to buy a name from my newsletter or from one of our auctions, we are very likely to help you out. Make no mistake about it. We are here first and foremost to sell domains.
This sister company of DigiPawn differentiates in a couple of important ways. First off, interest is annual. The deals are 3, 4 or 5 years long. Also, They are interest and principal payments.
Short-term cash advances and very small needs will still be processed through DigiPawn but for the bigger amounts and longer term domain loans, please send your applications through DigiLoan.
Please take a moment to visit our newest addition to the Rick Latona family of companies.
I’m here to answer any questions you may have.
Free Entry into T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Amsterdam? You can get them from me. Here is how
April 16, 2009 by Rick Latona · 5 Comments
Starting tomorrow, I will be putting 1-5 premium ccTLD names for sale in my newsletter that will each come with a free entry into T.R.A.F.F.I.C. ccTLDs Amsterdam. The entry fee into the show is $1995. Each premium name will be worth more than $1995 but I will have them priced at $1995. You can call it what you want. $1995 for the name and get a free ticket or $1995 for the ticket and get a free name. I don’t care.
These will be transferable tickets. Meaning, if you are already registered, plan to invite a colleague, or want to buy 10 of the names or just give tickets away, it doesn’t matter.
If you aren’t subscribed to my newsletter yet you can do so here.
I am keenly aware that the world as a whole is more budget conscious than it has been in a while. I sincerely hope this helps those that need the help and motivates those that need to get their buts in gear.
1st half of Silicon Valley T.R.A.F.F.I.C. auction inventory released
April 14, 2009 by Rick Latona · 11 Comments
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Rick Latona Auctions Announces The First Wave of Domain Names in our Upcoming Featured Auction at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Silicon Valley.
Atlanta, Georgia USA – April 14, 2009 – Rick Latona Auctions announces the first half of our names for our upcoming Featured Auction at TRAFFIC Silicon Valley. “It’s all about momentum at this point,” says Rick Latona, “Rick Schwartz recently announced his sale of candy.com for over $3,000,000, we just sold webcam.com for over $1,000,000. Granted, we worked our asses off to get things done so far this year, and we will continue to do that, but that is what makes us stand out. Nobody works as hard as our team does to maximize every sale at auction and beyond the auction.”
“One more thing, we have deliberately left several slots open in our upcoming Live Auction, and it might be for you. If you have been holding back a premium domain or two, and you know who you are, I’m talking about the guys that have been getting hit up for a year or years by everyone else trying to sell or broker their names - now is the time to let us know you are interested in finding out more about what we can do for you. It is easy, and if we don’t accept your domain name(s) we will release you within a few days to do whatever you want with them. We aren’t going to tie up submissions for a month or two.”
Please note a few changes. No reserve names have been replaced with $1000 reserves. We will not be offering names in our live auctions at less than $1000. Extended sales auctions now have a bottom of $300 per name. Also, exact reserves are now posted.
