Key takeaways

  • A two-digit .vip outsold every .com on GoDaddy's expired-auction board last week.[1]
  • Four-digit numeric .coms took second and third place in the weekly tally.[1]
  • MZS.com was the top three-letter .com, rounding out the leading four sales.[1]
  • Technical issues trimmed this week's tracked list, so the sales count understates normal coverage.[1]
  • Two-letter Slovenian ccTLD FN.si is live at auction with its reserve already cleared.[1]

This week in domains

The week's expired-auction leaderboard was topped by a short numeric in a new gTLD rather than a .com, even as numeric and three-letter .coms filled the next three slots.[1]

GoDaddy expired auctions: .vip numeric beats the .com field

Trav's Sunday list recaps last week's GoDaddy expired auctions, where a two-character numeric .vip finished ahead of two four-digit numeric .coms and a three-letter .com. The ordering matters for pricing comps: short numerics drew the top bids in both a new gTLD and .com, and the .vip result sits above every .com in this sample. The sample is thinner than usual because technical issues cut the tracked set, so comparisons with prior weeks should account for missing data.[1]

Top GoDaddy expired-auction sales, week before October 18, 2026

Live inventory across six venues

The same list points to current auction, backorder and buy-it-now names at Dynadot, NameJet, Sedo, Catched, NamePros and GoDaddy. The standout ccTLD lot is FN.si, already above its reserve, meaning the name will sell at whatever the final bid is.[1]

What to watch

  1. FN.si closing price With the reserve met, the hammer price will provide a fresh comp for two-letter .si names; the source gives no closing date.[1]

  2. Whether next week's tally returns to full coverage This week's count was reduced by technical issues; a full list next week would show whether the shortfall reflected data gaps or lower volume.[1]

Questions investors are asking

What was the highest-priced GoDaddy expired domain auction sale in mid-October 2026?
In the week recapped by Trav's List on October 18, 2026, 30.vip was the top tracked GoDaddy expired-auction sale at $53,100. It finished ahead of 6364.com at $43,500, 7121.com at $32,508 and MZS.com at $25,500.[1]
Why was the October 18, 2026 Trav's List of expired auction sales shorter than usual?
The list covered 41 tracked names that sold for more than $1,000 in GoDaddy expired auctions the previous week, and its author noted it was lighter than normal because of technical issues. Anyone using it for sales comps should treat that week's count as incomplete rather than as a sign of lower market volume.[1]
What does reserve met mean for the FN.si domain auction?
FN.si was listed at 4,800 EUR with its reserve met, which means the seller's minimum has been cleared and the domain will sell to the highest bidder when the auction ends, at that price or higher. The source does not state the venue's closing date.[1]
Which marketplaces carry the domains highlighted in Trav's List for October 18, 2026?
Beyond the GoDaddy expired-auction results, the list highlights current auction, backorder and buy-it-now names at Dynadot, NameJet, Sedo, Catched, NamePros and GoDaddy.[1]
