Drop In Auction Prices & Competition?

[DomainVP]

Every year I notice a seasonal drop in general auction prices and competition from May to September.

Do you think it's vacation time for marketers?
Could it be the influence of domainers that are in colleges and schools taking a summer break?

Anyone else notice this?

College students or marketers or anyone who takes summer off is not a domainer

More people inside during the winter months on their computers
More people busy outside moving around in the summer months

For me, that could explain why there are a lot of drops in January and February, people register in the fall/winter months and drop or forget to renew by the first of following year.
