In the current list of 29 domains , Cyberjokes.com and batoota.com are the cheapest auctioned domains starting from $1,000 to $5,000. Where as , the expensive one is av.com which is auctioned for the price starting from $ 1 million to $ 1.5 million. Below is the complete list of 29 domain names:
Yahoo explained the reason why the company choose to do the auction:
When you’re a company that’s been around as long as Yahoo, there are lots of fun things that you stumble across. This year, we found a huge list of domain names that the company has owned for quite some time.
As we discussed what to do with them, it became obvious that it was time to set them free…back into the wild of the Internet. Surely, creative people, businesses and entrepreneurs could come up with something great to do with them. They could even spark some brand new ideas or companies.
If Yahoo manages to sell all the domains , so the company will have a healthy amount of money which can be utilized for company benefits.
