Lot 001 · the dotcomjack auction
BoardSnap. Starts at $1.
A live iOS app on its own name, its full source, its backend and a 1,016 page site, sold as one lot to whoever wants it most. No list price, no negotiation, no broker taking a quarter of it. The bidding is public and the curve you will watch is the real bid history, not an animation of one.
Lot announced
Bidding opens Sat, Sep 26 at 8:00 PM Eastern.
Requesting a paddle means accepting the auction terms, under which a bid is a binding offer to buy and cannot be retracted. Paddles are approved before bidding opens, so every bid on the board comes from a known person. Paddles close Fri, Oct 2 at 8:00 PM Eastern, 24 hours before the hammer.
01
Everything in the lot
One transfer, one buyer, nothing held back. The domain, the shipped app, the source, the backend and the site all move together.
| The domain | boardsnap.ai. Two real words, nine characters, registered through 2028-04-17, so roughly 19 months of runway comes with it. Single owner, never parked with ads, no disputes. |
| The iOS app | Live on the App Store under this exact name, App Store ID 6763090203. Version 1.2.0, five shipped releases, rated 5.0 from 5 ratings. Three approved subscription products. |
| The source | The complete Flutter application and the Supabase backend, including 15 edge functions. Not a demo build, the code that is in the store today. |
| The site | A 1,016 page marketing and content site on Cloudflare Pages, with its sitemap, structured data and Workers configuration. |
| Transfer readiness | Apple app transfer eligibility checked against all nine published criteria, zero blockers. A written five phase transfer runbook comes with the lot. |
| Traction, stated plainly | 30 installs, 1 paying customer, $59.49 lifetime revenue. This is an asset sale, not a business with a growth curve, and it is priced by auction for exactly that reason. |
That last row is in the table on purpose. An auction only works if the numbers behind it are the real ones, and a buyer who finds out later is a buyer who does not pay.

What the market says it is worth
Four independent readings, none of them ours, spanning two orders of magnitude. That spread is the entire argument for running an auction instead of picking a number.
An automated valuation. It reads the name only and cannot see an app, a backend or a store listing.
The average .ai aftermarket sale. The extension ranks third globally by volume with the highest sell through rate of any top ten TLD.
A brandability led estimate for a two word, nine character name in an active category.
The only number produced by people actually willing to pay it.
03
How the bidding works
Three rules, and they are the whole of it.
Everyone is verified
A paddle takes a government ID and a card, verified once before you bid. Nothing is charged to take one. It means every number on the board came from a real person, which is not true of most auctions.
A bid is binding
Bids cannot be retracted. If you are the high bidder when the clock stops, your card is charged for the full amount automatically. That is what keeps the curve honest.
Late bids extend the clock
A bid in the final minutes pushes the close back, so the lot cannot be sniped in the last second. It ends when bidding actually stops.
Two clocks, not one. Paddles close a full day before the hammer, because verification is not instant and nobody should upload a document only to watch the lot close while they wait.

Get a paddle
Paddle verification opens before bidding does. Ask now and you will get the link the moment it is live, with the whole window ahead of you rather than an hour of it.
Want to bid
Request a paddle at the top of this page. It costs nothing, Jack approves it by hand, and the page tells you the moment it clears. No commitment until you actually place a bid.
Just watching
The lot page is public and stays public. The bid history is visible to everyone, whether or not you hold a paddle.
Questions about the lot go to the same address. Jack answers them himself. Bidding is governed by the auction terms, including the sealed reserve, the extended close, and settlement through escrow.
