## Summary
Last week's top GoDaddy expired sales, the October 31 auction close including Worldcasinos\.com, live Dynadot and Catched listings, and a premium-renewal flag on x\.page\. [[2]](#source-2) [[1]](#source-1)
## Key takeaways
- Numeric \.coms took three of the five top spots in last week's [GoDaddy](https://unique.domains/registrars/godaddy) expired auctions\. [[2]](#source-2)
- Shawarma\.com was the highest-priced dictionary keyword among the week's expired drops\. [[2]](#source-2)
- A casino keyword [\.com](https://unique.domains/tld/com) cleared five figures in the October 31 auction close\. [[1]](#source-1)
- Swedish names such as chain\.se sit at minimum bids on Catched\. [[1]](#source-1)
- A one-letter \.page name carries a premium renewal that buyers must factor in\. [[1]](#source-1)
## Today in domains
Expired-name money last week concentrated in short numeric \.coms and a handful of commercial keywords, while ccTLD inventory on Catched and a premium-renewal one-letter \.page show how far carrying costs and entry prices diverge in the same auction feeds\. [[2]](#source-2) [[1]](#source-1)
### Numerics dominate the GoDaddy expired leaderboard
Trav's weekly tally of [GoDaddy](https://unique.domains/registrars/godaddy) expired auctions put a five-digit numeric at the top, followed by a four-digit numeric, with another four-character number with a leading zero in fourth place\. Three of the five leading results being pure-digit \.coms, all at or above $20,250, shows bidders paying for short numeric strings regardless of meaning\. The two letter-based names in the top five are commercial keywords: a food term and a lending plural\. For portfolio holders, the spread matters as a comparable set: the list covers every tracked name that crossed $1k, so the top end is drawn from a broad base rather than a single outlier\. [[2]](#source-2)
- 88838\.com: $53,000
- 8225\.com: $33,500
- Shawarma\.com: $26,000
- 0230\.com: $20,250
- Paydays\.com: $19,500
Top five GoDaddy expired auction sales, week ending November 1, 2026
### October 31 closes, open Dynadot bids and ccTLD entry prices
Domain Shane's October 31 recap spanned [Dynadot](https://unique.domains/registrars/dynadot), Catched and [GoDaddy](https://unique.domains/registrars/godaddy)\. Worldcasinos\.com drew heavy competition, while oneclick\.si closed at $401 on 38 bids, a sign of active bidding on Slovenian names\. Dynadot still had two keyword names live at the time of the recap, and Catched listed Swedish names at the floor\. The x\.page renewal note is a reminder that a low hammer on a premium-tier name does not reflect the annual holding cost\. [[1]](#source-1)
- roofer\.org \(Dynadot, live\): $1,469
- kinetichealth\.com \(Dynadot, live\): $1,186
- superintelligence\.se \(Catched\): $40
- chain\.se \(Catched\): $40
Current bids on open auctions cited in the October 31 recap
## In short
- Backorders across five platforms: Trav's November 1 list also flags current auctions and backorders at [Dynadot](https://unique.domains/registrars/dynadot), NameJet, [Sedo](https://unique.domains/registrars/sedo), [Atom](https://unique.domains/registrars/atom) and Catched, including BDLS\.com, Finanzen\.com and IPO\.net alongside several \.si and \.se names\. [[2]](#source-2)
## What to watch
- Final prices for roofer\.org and kinetichealth\.com Both [Dynadot](https://unique.domains/registrars/dynadot) auctions were still open at recap time; their closes will show whether a trade-keyword \.org and a two-word health [\.com](https://unique.domains/tld/com) hold above $1k\. [[1]](#source-1)
- BDLS\.com, Finanzen\.com and IPO\.net outcomes These four-letter, German-keyword and finance names are listed across backorder and auction platforms; results will add new comparables for acronym and non-English [\.com](https://unique.domains/tld/com) pricing\. [[2]](#source-2)
- Whether \.se names on Catched move off the $40 floor superintelligence\.se and chain\.se sat at entry level in the recap; bidding activity will indicate demand depth for Swedish ccTLD drops\. [[1]](#source-1)

## Questions and answers
### What sold for the most in GoDaddy expired auctions the week ending November 1, 2026?
88838\.com was the top result at $53,000, according to Trav's list on Domain Shane / DSAD\. It was followed by 8225\.com at $33,500, Shawarma\.com at $26,000, 0230\.com at $20,250 and Paydays\.com at $19,500\. The list tracks 68 [GoDaddy](https://unique.domains/registrars/godaddy) expired names that sold for over $1k that week\. [[2]](#source-2)
### Why does the x\.page renewal fee matter to someone bidding on it?
The October 31 recap from Domain Shane notes that x\.page carries a $1,123 renewal fee\. That is an annual carrying cost on top of whatever the auction price is, so the true cost of holding the name over several years is driven largely by renewals rather than the winning bid\. Premium-renewal names need to be valued on total holding cost, not hammer price alone\. [[1]](#source-1)
### How much did Worldcasinos\.com sell for at auction?
Worldcasinos\.com closed at $10,099 after 98 bids on the October 31, 2026 auction list, as reported in Domain Shane's recap covering [Dynadot](https://unique.domains/registrars/dynadot), Catched and [GoDaddy](https://unique.domains/registrars/godaddy) results\. The high bid count indicates broad competition rather than a single buyer setting the price\. [[1]](#source-1)
### Are \.si and \.se domains selling at auction?
Yes, both appear in recent auction feeds\. In the October 31 recap, oneclick\.si closed at $401 after 38 bids, while Catched listed superintelligence\.se and chain\.se at $40 each\. Trav's November 1 list also includes several \.si and \.se names among current auctions and backorders\. [[1]](#source-1) [[2]](#source-2)
