It's truly mind=boggling that there were fewer domains taken this week (228) than last week (245) - seems like we may be living in the Matrix.

Last week's TBR mania was the definition of "disposable" cash.

It looks like a TBR week where someone or some people lost some nice names due to events beyond their control, or forgetfulness.

I picked up a name from the drop today at WHC minimum that I sold for low/mid 4 figures 4 years ago and I put in a significantly higher start offer but landed it for $18. Made me happy but feel bad for the person that bought it from me as they did put some work into developing it so I’m not going to post the name.
Not the first time I, or im sure many of us, bought a name back in TBR, but usually had to put up more of a $ fight.
Several times it has been someone I bought the name for that let it lapse or whatever and wanted me to try and get it back for them.
And I will say it was much easier to do in the Siber days when they were kind of dominant and the only people that could participate in the auction of a domain were only the ones that had put in an initial bid prior to the drop. Now we can just jump into an auction anytime so it is not quite as “easy?” as it was then.
Just a ramble..

It's probably easier, just more expensive.

Myid still operates that way but I don’t trust them

Yes... And technically end users can participate and they would be willing to pay end user pricing therefore outbidding the wholesalers.

However cooler heads dont always prevail auction fever hits a few times per run. Now i just bow out leaving the rogue bidder holding the bag. Sometimes they think they caught a whale but the whale left the dinner table a bid before leaving someone with a bill they were not really prepared for. Hence the silent non payments we dont hear about.
