It was quite a busy week on the Tucows domain auction platform. There aren’t many buyers on there and bidding is often last minute. Our new e3auction platform is due to be released at the end of next week, which should give you more access to dictionary lists and inbound links for these domains, so keep an eye out for that.

My favourite here was OnlineHelpdesk.com for $2000. Online help desks are an essential part of customer support for any large company operating on the internet. As you can see from these results in Google, it’s a vibrant niche with many competitors. A domain like this could give someone an edge at a very low cost.

I was also surprised to see NetCurrency.com go for just $167. PayPal, WebMoney, e-Gold and Google are all players in the billion-dollar internet payment industry. Internet currencies are also seeing sustained growth in emerging economies, such as India, China and Russia where credit cards penetration is low.
