Interesting times actually, a lot of the big players are starting to cross promote each others domain collections for individual sale. There are a lot of other deals like this going on with out press releases.

YesDirect (who now owns BuyDomains) recently bought out the 32,000 name collection from exclusivedomains.com.

When they mean over 600,000 domains, they really mean OVER 600,000... that is monsterous
