Sure, but a lot of that is Mr Alphabet picking up strays at the end.

Look at the end of the TBR list, when every other registrar was long finished making their picks, Dot-CA/Burmac then "won" over 100 DOMAINS to close things out.

It’s not really about picking up names….it’s the quality that matters.

the problem is no one person can judge every name based on quality, mainly because no one knows the value of every word, term, etc in every language and nuance out there in the world. sure there are the obvious winners, but I've seen many go through the drop untaken that later have sold for good prices, I'm sure we all have had some of those.

Certainly, but play that game too long and too hard, and you'll be in big trouble. The "good stuff" sells far more regularly than the "esoteric crap" - luck has a definite part in all domain sales, but it's still not the major driver.

When I pick up cheap domains, it's usually a name that catches my eye and by all right should be more brandable than it is, but it's just not. Sometimes that comes through for me in terms of a startup agreeing with my opinion and spending some cash.

A recent example is Showpiece.ca that I picked up on the WHC $1.99 sale - I couldn't bring myself to preorder it on the TBR or even hand-reg it, as the numbers just aren't there, but it's still a brand that I think resonates and fits several markets, and it may end up yielding a sale.

But I stay far away from the "crazy stuff".

Very similar, I pick through the leftovers at reg fee.
 
Well, the MYID auctions are over, and I have this distinct feeling that the trio of LLL*ca sales posted by ExcellentDomains certainly had an influence on the end prices.

Personally I have not had an LLL sale in over a year and I'm staying far away from this stuff until I do, especially at these "wholesale" prices.

Hah, I was thinking the same thing. A fool and his money... there is no way it's profitable to pay these prices. I had my eye on GCD, but $800+ for a non-pronounceable acronym only taken in 105 extensions, ridiculous.

I seem to recall some earlier in the year that kept getting close to a grand...

I think a lot of those were either 1-words, top pronounceables, or a set of ultra-premium letters (like starts with an A and ends with a C and a primo letter inbetween).

Yeah makes sense. Agreed though, some of today's seemed a bit high indeed.

That's what happens when someone makes a trio of high-profile sales in a given niche - all the lemmings run off the cliff chasing it.
