A couple of days ago I mentioned there were 3 public auctions closing at 2am Eastern time on Sunday. These were three letter .coms, ZTD.com, UDA.com and BPS.com. Only one met reserve and that was BPS.com. ztd.com $9,588 not met uda.com $17,600 not met BPS.com $51,000 met at $50,000 I emailed Michael at Namebio for BPS.com so it can be listed.

Not the best time to auction off valuable domain names
You usually don't see three 3L.coms closing at once on GoDaddy auctions, yesterday SWP.com was a public auction that met reserve at $14,500 and I saw it at $15,500 but did not see the close as my browser crashed.

I just happened to be getting ready to go to bed 5 a.m. … [Read more...]
The domain king is a slumlord? Really?
So Rick got things going yesterday with his post on LLL.coms. I was particularly interested because I was having a discussion last week with a longtime domainer friend. He does not really care for 3L.coms and felt they were overhyped.
