A Good Sign for .US?


I just noticed a bunch of high priced (for .us) expiring names on TDNAM today, with bids.

Tycoon.us - https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13107059
Trudeau.us - https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13106945
Trinidad.us - https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13106913
Tower.us - https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13106778
Trans.us -[url]https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13106822[url]
Topaz.us - https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13106721
Titty.us - https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13106638
Tigre.us - https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13106590
Pupkin.us - https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13105963
Pumpkins.us - https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListing.aspx?miid=13105964
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/cctld-discussion/474733-a-good-sign-for-us.html

Many of these are over $100. I see 4 letter dictionary words get passed over all the time. Is this a good sign for .us, one or two bidders getting overly excited over a few good names, or just the result of names that are good enough to get multi-hundred dollar bids?

What do you guys think?

I think better news would have been to see these domains developed.

Totals: $6,316 + $8,365 + $2,547 = $17,225 (So Far). Who is buying these names?

The previous owner should be kicking themselves right now, even though I am sure that they could not get close to these prices if these had tried to sell them before they expired.

There are at least 3 bidders fighting it out on many of the higher priced names. We will see in about a week who won them.

Many of those domains appear to be ones you sold. Did the buyer not decide to renew them?

The LLL are selling as hot as they did 2 years ago. Very impressive prices (based on the current rut).

BD knows the value and why would they spending this much on names that they could buy other names for less....doesn't make the most sense.
