I am working on a new GoDaddy Goodies list that I will be posting shortly but I wanted to try something a little different as well. Trying new things is often worth doing it, so I wanted to share these 159 domain name auctions.
All auctions are $10 and have 1 bid. What this means, somebody used a Backorder on the domain. To me, this has some value and maybe you will find some domains with value in the list.
I didn’t "watch" all of these, so I do not have end time data to provide but all end starting from Today until 9 days out, so you will have to click a domain your interested in to see the end time. If you use the Creation Date as a guide, 6/18 domains end TODAY (7/23/11), 6/19 domains end tomorrow (7/24/11) etc.
Here are the domains. Each domain is linked to the specific auction page for easy one click bidding or watching.
Let me know what you think.

Scared Slim: Yep, that was me.
But I won’t be bidding on it–too many domains!
Thanks for the list and experiment. You never know what gem might pop up for someone.

Good list. Good new feature for your site. Interesting to see what others are back ordering.

Great list. Thanks for all the time you put into your lists. Would you mind detailing a little bit more what the backorder process means at GoDaddy? Does it simply mean the first $10 bid is via the person that backordered the domain?

@Mike,
GoDaddy’s backorder system is pretty odd and doesn’t work like any other services. I think people get confused with it really. You can backorder expired (PendingDelete) and expired in-house domains that will go to GoDaddy Auction. For expired domains that are registered with GoDaddy, the BO is pointless really because all it does is put in the first ($10) bid in the public expired domain name auction. So it cost $18.95 (ish) for the backorder and you end up “saving” $2 from simply placing a bid when the domain reaches auction. I think most people think if they backorder the domain BEFORE it goes to public expired auction that the domain will NOT go to public auction. If there is more than 1 backorder for a PendingDelete domain and GoDaddy grabs the domain, there is a private auction between whoever BO’ed the domain.

Hope that explains some things better.

Jamie I think you have some fact there wrong. Private backorders have nothing to do with pending delete vs godaddy “pre-delete” auctions.

You do have this right though. Their system is odd.
