Why I can't log into Masterbucks?
A user of the Epik Masterbucks product, that became notorious last year for the wrong reasons, has trouble accessing his account. The obvious question arises: Was he hiding under a rock since the summer of 2022? Find out what others think of this.

GoDaddy Auctions Minimum Bid Increases to $25
It used to be $8, then $12 dollars but inflation changes everything. Now GoDaddy Auctions has doubled the starting price of bids to $25 dollars. Gotta love the company's entrepreneurial spirit. Join the discussion and share your thoughts about this.

Why most domainers are not willing to reveal their full portfolio?
Some domain investors are eager to share their domain portfolios, either to "show off" their digital assets, or just because they embrace this type of exposure. Then again, most domain investors would rather keep their investments private and safe. Which type of investor are you?

Asking lower than what I paid?
Fresh domain investors often believe that the winning amount of an auction determines the base minimum value of their acquired domain, perhaps with the assistance of domain valuation web sites. But this is not how the market works: Value is based on demand and asset rarity. Join the discussion for more tips about the domain market's processes.

Thanks for nice summary of some key topics!

Will be interesting whether the $25 starting price will significantly lower the number of names sold at GD auctions. I would guess some impact, but maybe not much?

I don’t understand what is going on with GoDaddy auctions. Almost all my GoDaddy registered domains I intentionally drop are sold at auction. Some have gone for four figures. I can list a domain at $1000 for years and when i decide to drop it due to lack of interest, it sells for $1500 at the expired auction. Something doesn’t add up.
