The table above lists current GNAME auction inventory (pre-release and pending-delete auctions). Use the guide below to understand how GNAME auctions work, how prices/timing behave, what “deletion types” mean, and how to shortlist quickly with quality signals.
How GNAME Auctions Work (quick map)
-
Pre-release / Name-Pre. Partner-supplied or user-released names auctioned before registry deletion. Contact updates complete in ~1–15 days; no later redemption by the previous registrant.
-
Pending-delete → auction. Domains caught at drop go to public auction. Settlement for a won auction is typically due within 3 days.
-
Deposits & bid extensions. GNAME freezes 20% of your bid as a deposit; it’s released if you’re outbid. A bid in the final 5 minutes auto-extends closing by 0–10 minutes until no new bids arrive (GNAME warns last-3-minute bids aren’t guaranteed due to timing variance).
-
Special deletion type (Jm-Pre). Transfer may need 40–45 days for contact updates, and rare redemption by the former registrant may occur within ~60 days; if so, you’re refunded.
Finding Opportunities on GNAME
-
Search & bid. Use GNAME's console to search expiring/deleting names, filter by DA/PA/age, and bid in auctions. You can download pending-delete lists several days in advance to see what will hit the market.
-
Lifecycle basics. If owners don’t renew (grace/redemption), domains move to pending-delete (≈5 days) and then drop to the registry—when catchers compete.
What the Table Above Shows
The table surfaces live GNAME auctions and overlays history + link-quality signals so you’re not relying on marketplace data alone. Typical columns include Source (GNAME), Bids, Current Price, End Time, Deletion Type (e.g., Name-Pre, Jm-Pre), plus:
-
Karma Score (0–100): Wayback-based cleanliness. Spam eras, doorway patterns, and hard topic flips lower the score—use it to skip toxic names instantly.
-
Majestic TF/CF, Moz DA / Spam Score, BL, RD: third-party link metrics for fast triage.
-
Similarweb Traffic (when available): directional visibility only.
-
Wayback Age, Wayback Langs, Categories: quick read on age, language footprint, and topical fit.
Workflow: shortlist by Karma Score + link columns → confirm Deletion Type implications → decide using Bids / Price / End Time.
Due Diligence Tailored to GNAME
-
Open Wayback snapshots across years; avoid pharma/casino/piracy eras and weird 301 chains.
-
Check real referring pages (not just scores). Prefer editorial, in-content links and natural anchors.
-
Match topics. If your build isn’t close to the historical theme, don’t expect much carry-over.
-
Mind deletion type. Name-Pre = no redemption risk post-win; Jm-Pre can rarely be redeemed (refund if it happens).
-
Plan funds & deposit. 20% bid deposit is frozen during the auction; auction wins must be settled within 3 days.
Quick Buyer’s Checklist
-
Deletion type understood (Name-Pre vs. Jm-Pre vs. pending-delete).
-
Karma Score high; Wayback clean and on-topic.
-
Link sanity (TF/CF, DA/SS as triage) + manual spot-checks.
-
Funds ready for 20% deposit and 3-day settlement if you win.
Bottom line: Use Karma Score and link signals to filter fast, understand each deletion type’s implications, and be ready for 20% deposits and 3-day settlements. With the table’s overlays and GNAME’s extended-closing rules, you can time bids confidently and avoid avoidable risks.
