Available to Highest Bidders
Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) October 11, 2006 – While the housing market is collapsing, real estate on the Web is booming. Moniker, the first and only provider of Domain Asset Management™ services, today announced it will hold an exciting live auction of quality domain names at 1:30 p.m. ET, Friday, October 27, during T.R.A.F.F.I.C. EAST, an Internet marketing conference taking place at the Westin Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, Florida.
The median domain name resale price rose 24 percent between 2004 and 2005, according to industry analysts. All current indicators point to further growth, making domain names a highly attractive addition to an investment portfolio and demonstrating they are assets that require effective management.

- Auction.com
- Audit.com

The Live Auction: Raising the Paddle

Moniker along with its partner Domain Capital, will offer domain financing to leverage domain purchases made at this event or for other transactions. Moniker and Domain Capital have been pioneering the same concept for virtual real-estate for years in a fashion similar to real estate mortgage financing. Fifty percent of the previous Live Auction’s purchases were financed using this financing service.
