Afternic have announced they have made changes to Afternic Auctions, their expiring domain auction service, which makes it easier to find exclusive premium domains.
There is now the ability to see how many PreOrders have been submitted on a domain before its live auction starts. This makes it easier to easily find the hottest domains. Or there is the option of spotting the domains with the least competition by finding domains without any or with few PreOrders.
Afternic warn users of their service that some members may be watching domains, but may not have preordered yet and this will not be visible. Use the Afternic watchlist found in MyAfternic (âWatch Existing Listingsâ). But donât let a domain disappear â expiring domains only go to auction if at least one member has preordered.
To use this new facility:
1. Go to Afternic.com
2. Scroll down their home page until you see the button âSearch Afternic Auctionsâ. Click on this and it brings you to a search page dedicated to their exclusive Afternic Auction inventory.
3. Enter any specific search criteria or enter none at all. Then click the âSearch Afternic Auctionsâ button. Simply searching without adding criteria will show all of the Afternic Auction inventory.
4. Click â# of Bidsâ to sort by the number of bids. Note, the results show domains that are both in live auction and available for PreOrder.
