The new weekly domain sales Report is out at DNJournal.com. Action in the domain aftermarket has been a bit slower than expected in the opening quarter of 2011, but a lot of catching up was done over the past seven days. In fact, 4 of the year's 10 biggest sales were logged since last week's report as the market served up its best performance of the year to date. We also saw the year’s second biggest ccTLD sale, but that was the only non .com domain on the new all extension Top 20 Chart as the .coms turned in their most dominating performance of the year. You can get all of the details here: http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2011/20110406.htm

Also new at DNJournal this week are a pair of special feature stories I think you will find interesting and useful in your own domaining endeavours:

Backstage at Domain Holdings: How They are Turning Tier 1 Generic Domains Into Fully Developed Businesses: http://www.dnjournal.com/articles/companies/mortgage.org.htm

and

Five Years of Painstaking Development Produces New Standard in Domain Management at ParkLogic.com: http://www.dnjournal.com/articles/companies/park-logic-march-2011.htm

Last but not least, Michael Cyger of DomainSherpa.com just released an in-depth video interview with me (running time 78 minutes) that covers a lot of ground that I haven’t publicly talked about before, including a lot of detailed domain selling tips. You can view that interview here:

after looking at the full list it just confirms why i tell people that want their domains appraised that 99% of domains that end up selling for $2k-$5k would "NEVER" get more than reg fee from a reseller..... which is why it pays to always hold-out for end users if possible

Some of the auction results published are provided by Snapnames, which is the largest admitted domain auction fraudster in history. There's no mention of that fact in the published auction results (none that I noticed anyway), so it makes me wonder if the results dnjournal publishes can really be trusted.

It seems to me the whole drop/catch-then-auction scene is shady and not at all transparent. Buyer beware of the auction house shenanigans, and readers beware of domain "news" sites that give you a glistening portrayal of one of the seediest businesses I have ever seen.
