Most of you were watching us at the TRAFFIC Domain Conference & Expo in New York and that has made all of the difference. Our first auction brought in over 700,000 USD in total sales in 1.5 hours, and we would sincerely like to thank everyone involved in helping us reach that at our first sale.
The show that we put on in New York simply would not have been possible without your support. After the sale, we noticed that many had the same question, “When is the next auction?” Well, that actually depends on where you live. It is November 20 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm if you live in Australia, and it is November 19 from 9:00pm to 11:00pm if you are in the US in EST. In either event, the auction is at the TRAFFIC Down Under (TDU) Conference in Gold Coast, Australia.
Our domain submissions for New York broke the 10,000 mark but from early indicators our submissions for TDU look like they are going to exceed those for New York!
“Take a look at [TDU's] agenda,” said Rick Latona of Rick Latona Auctions, “this is three solid days packed with serious industry workshops and educational sessions. The first Keynote Speaker is Paul Tworney, CEO of ICANN. T.R.A.F.F.I.C. and the folks at Fabulous really have an excellent program planned. I wouldn’t want to miss this one.”

Things others have said about Rick Latona Auctions forming their strategic alliance with TRAFFIC:
“Congrats Rick. I knew we could count on you to shake things up and keep life interesting. You will be a force to be reckoned with…” Ron Jackson
“Rick, I have no doubt it will be a success. Hey Rick, Is there anything in the Domain world that you’re not doing?…” Larry Fischer
“I believe Rick’s auction at TRAFFIC will provide the spark that the industry needs at a time and place that will make a difference….this really is a game changer.” Rick Schwartz
Rick Latona Auctions was founded as a natural extension to www.RickLatona.com to pursue other avenues in the domain marketplace to sell domain names. When asked why he made the decision to launch now, Rick said, “I had been considering the idea for years. When I realized that I was one of the largest individual resellers and brokers of domains it really became an issue of timing. Rick Schwartz created that timing for us. I understand what names people want and what prices will get them to bite. It’ll be more than interesting to see how this winning formula will perform in a live format.”
