eShop.com has expired and dropping today

[twiki]

Top domain.

Will be very curious to see where the eventual DropCatch auction might push the price up to.

 

[CraigD]

Wondering who lets it drop actually ?

The current bid is 31k !

Could easily go to 6 figures

 

[TheBuyerz]

Missed to bid for it.

It is private auction now?

The current bid is 31k ! Certainly many NP members have bid on it.

shop names with any one letter prefix are very valuable.

Retail, this is still a 6-fig domain. I would estimate that the right buyer will at least pay in the range 200k for it. I know that the e might seem dated but it's still quite valuable.

It's a safe bet for whoever is the winner - I expect a mid 5-fig range on this one.

I own e-shop.org, so this auction is very interesting for me

Right, shop names with a letter and a hyphen before are still well priced.

E-shop (.gr) here in Greece is the biggest eshop in our country.

I wonder why Microsoft would drop a domain like this....will be interesting to see if they also end up dropping eshop.ca in a few months.

261 people private auction at Snap names;

Since 261 placed backorder on the name there

Snapnames has best Auction system for drops
Private over Public Auction, all day, everyday.

Unlike DropCatch, if the #1 bidder fails to pay
The #2 gets an option to buy (much better imo;
DC kept re-auctioning; pissed me off; if no pay.

By odd coincidence it is also registered in exactly 261 extension according to dotDB.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EShop_Inc.

Parviz Omidyar co-founded the company that became Eshop Inc. when it was sold to MS back in 1996, and then he founded eBay.

I'd hate to be that person who's in charge of renewing domains.

So Micro/soft let it drop? Can they still get the domain back?

Not fair if I can't bid. How could I know it would be caught by SN. Probably I can't win, but worth trying.

 

[topdom]

I go to this page: https://snapnames.com/support/index.action
it is a blank page except top menu and bottom menu.
Is this normal? I can't contact customer service.
When will the auction end?

@topdom wants the invite into the auction without disclosing social security, ID pic etc.

I think he’s making an informal offer:
Even though he’s outside the private auction.
