The following auction is for the top tier domain Blooks.net registered at Godaddy.
After recieving several requests for pricing/domain information I've decided to hold this premium up for auction.

Auction Rules:

Bidding starts at 200 USD
Bid Increments: 25 USD
Reserve: MET! edit.
Auction End Date: Thursday April 20/06 1PM EST (extended edit).
Payment: Escrow.com/Paypal... At sellers discretion.

Reason for Auction Extension: Recieved 2 PM's with equal amounts at previous auction deadline.....

Therefore in fairness...auction extended the to 1PM EST Apr 20/06.

Current high 1250 as of this edit.

To make it as even as possible only posted bids will be accepted...if 1250 is not surpassed by 1PM EST Thursday....domain will not be sold...

Please note - auction will continue 5 minutes to last if/when last bid placed eg.... bid placed 12:58 auction extended to 1:03, another bid at 1:01 auction extended to 1:06 and so on...winner determined when 5 minute window elapses with last bid.

Auction time revised again due technical difficulties accessing auction (I myself couldn't login for approx 2 hours) Much thanks to the NP'r that called me to confirm I wasn't the only one having problems....

This is an NP exclusive....if you missed the blook land rush, then nows your chance to own one of the rare top generics.

Regards
Steve

What is a blook?

A "blook" is a book developed from blog content and or concept. Blogs have reached the "hard back" level.
Blog to book = blook

This is my understanding anyway.

Nice name EG. I'm blooked too.

What is a blook?

From Wikipedia:

One definition of blook is a book serialized on a blog site. Chapters are published one by one as blog posts, and readers can then subscribe to a blook with an RSS feed, tag it, comment on it, etc. This type of blook was popularized by Tom Evslin in September 2005, with the launch of hackoff.com, a murder mystery set in the dot-com bubble.

Blooks can include online material. For example, hackoff.com includes both a wiki and a faux company website for the fictional company described in the book.

Another definition of blook is a printed book whose content was originally posted on a blog. Tony Pierce published a blook of this type in 2002 which was actually named Blook after Jeff Jarvis of BuzzMachine invented the term

Over a day to go and to answer some lingering questions that have been PM'd.

1. Traffic is unknown as it was recently purchased from previous owner and hasn't been parked.
2. Reserve price will be acknowledged once it is equalled or exceeded...don't ask what it is, but it's well below secondary market valuations.

A little over 3 hours to go until the conclusion of this auction...

And a thank you to all those that have bid thus far...

I'll be online between 11 AM - 12 PM EST to see how this all unfolds..

Judging from the recent threads in this section, you'd think there'd be a new category called "the Auction Blook"......sorry couldn't resist

All the best
Steve
