.us A Good Sign for .US?

[Sleepys]

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 -https://www.tdnam.com/trpItemListin...w.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

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?

At least a 3-way bidding struggle for BPS.

 

[steven22]

I am high bidder on BPS

Not anymore!

 

[fonzie_007]

I am high bidder on BPS

Jerk...

I haven't won a LLL all day!

 

[DotUSDomains]

unplanned bidding

 

[Sleepys]

Jerk...

At these prices. I think that you may be thankful for that in the future.

 

[fonzie_007]

BPS too rich for my blood now...

Just curious, who won ELI earlier?

 

[steven22]

Not me....got out at $400

high bidder again on BPS...

I am going to really need a TDNAM code now...LOL

 

[DotUSDomains]

cnc.us anyone know what that finished at ?

thats the 1 i came to bid on but got distracted.

 

[fonzie_007]

I had to go to lunch, so someone surpassed my autobid of $750. Shame, because I thought that was a decent enough bid to win it.

Finally got around to winning a LLL, despite some previous significant bids on other LLLs.

I was talkin about ELI and my autobid for $756. (winner got it at $761)

 

[irishmat]

ah right, eli is a great LLL, unlucky to miss out on it for $5

I'm guessing it still would have been a bidding battle, but I was surprised it went over my autobid. Prices have been impressive today. Could this be a sign of a rebound in the .us market?

 

[irishmat]

possibly, not sure about you but ive been getting more offers of late and a few enquiries about bulk sales

 

[steven22]

I don't think so....It appears the same bidders/ domain investors are driving the prices up.

I did recently sell a LLL.us for $4500

What do you use to autobid on tdnam? I have been looking for something to do that forever.

You just type in your high bid and it will continue proxy bidding for you until your max dollar amount is reached.
