Trying to create a daily rendez-vous:

A pair of years ago when I was working on another project Mike Berkens (TheDomains.com) suggested me to deliver my expiring daily listings everyday at the same hour to create some addiction. Saying that SnapNames closes at 3h00 PM EST and NameJet.com at 4h00 PM EST so stick at a time around these 2 major daily domainers rendez-vous will finish creating an habit.

Recently Mike Cohen (DomainStryker.com) suggested me the same.
Even if I have allways found it a good idea I never implemented it until now.

So it’s official, from now the BargainDomains.com auctions will close everyday at the same hour of the day:

  • New-York: 5h00 PM
  • Los Angeles: 2h00PM
  • Paris: 11h00 PM
  • Moscow: 1h00 AM
  • New Delhi: 2h30 AM
  • Tokyo: 6h00 AM
  • Melbourne: 7h00 AM
  • I prefered this hour better than 2h00 PM EST, first by courtesy because AuctionPus.com closes at this time each day, and because it translates to 2h00 PM in Los Angeles, and I wanted Californian domainers be back at office and relax to can bid.

    So now, you know, after the NameJet.com auction wait a moment and place your winning bid on your prefered BargainDomains.com auctions!

    Tomorrow a next improvement, so stay tuned. Thanks!

      That’s awesome syncing, Francois. But did you notice that the clock inside the eye shows 10:55 and not 5:00 ? :D

      LOL … I know, it was a fast banner.
      I plan to create an attractive and highly visible countdown so everybody will notice/remember BargainDomains.com auctions close at 5h00 PM EST everyday.

      It may be a good idea for Californian domainers, but not for others.
      # Paris: 11h00 PM
      # Moscow: 1h00 AM
      # New Delhi: 2h30 AM
      …!

      Unfortunatelly byDomainerss you will not find a time that is good for everyone. When is the day here is the night in the other half of the earth.
      That you want it or no most domain business is done in America (and by Americans) so you have to accomodate. I live myself in France and I can tell you 11h00 it’s not the best time for me.
      The idea to synchronize the end of auctions is really positive and an hour must be found that don’t overlap the other major daily domaining events.
      As we support proxy bidding buyers can allways place a proxy bid and go sleep!
