Is there a good or bad time of year to sell domains? For example, are we getting into a slow time with holidays or doesn't it seem to matter much?

I had an auction where I was selling a domain. There was only one bidder who bid a dollar. And I was bidding in another auction and I was the only bidder. I think at times like this when there is a lot going on that people are not buying as much. It may depend on the kind of domains that are being sold also.

Spend a lot of money -> lower taxes

So demand should go up at the end of the year, assuming businesses in general are making profit.

Well i was told by some friends this time around the the bid amounts would drop becoz of the holiday season and later the taxation.

And come Jan-Feb the bid amounts would go up again. but this time round i think because of the LLLL domains dissapearing, the demand for them is bringing about good sales.

If you get paid in euros (or gbp or else) now is a good time to buy domains with the weak dollar

Even here in my country, dollar is getting weaker

IMHO, people spend more on gifts than domain name during this season (thanksgiving, xmas)

I've seen a bunch of underrated sales/ buyer's getting great bargains, which tells me its a buyer's market now. Its usually a seller's market when you're dealing with great names.
