SouthKorea will be interesting indeed.

Is Burma even a country anymore? I thought they officially changed the name to Myanmar many years ago.

 

[domain999]

Since 1989 the military authorities in Burma have promoted the name Myanmar as a conventional name for their state; this decision was not approved by any sitting legislature in Burma, and the US Government did not adopt the name.

So yes, it's still Burma.

Thanks for the clarification domain999.

South Korea: 3400

 

[dag]

Wow...most interesting in that there weren't any bids at the end!

Kind of like a reverse auction -- all the excitement happened early on...

 

[Brad|E]

I didn't see the closing price for North Korea...anyone?

$3400

 

[yoyosean]

i think it was $340. Pretty disappointing prices IMHO for all.

 

[Brad|E]

That was for South Korea. North Korea was at ~340 before I began watching S. Korea exclusively.

 

[scandiman]

$3400

no, wasn't that southkorea?

 

[Brad|E]

sexsearch (905) and Burma (340) on the rise...

 

[dag]

no, wasn't that southkorea?

Oops, yes, sorry...I thought he was asking about SK.

Didn't notice North Korea either, as it turns out... :red:

 

[Brad|E]

sexsearch extended: 1100 with 9 min.

meanwhile, battle between bidder 5 and 6 for Burma. 400 with 5 min. Lots of late bidding.

 

[domain999]

northkorea went for $340
southkorea went for $3400

 

[Brad|E]

New bidder enters the picture (one of NamePros own?) on Burma: 420

Edit: now 575.

 

[A|ien]

Great stuff! Better than watching TV with auction activity!

 

[Pred]

i was in until 400
dropped out after that. great name, but myanmar is the official name, so it's not a pure country name
good luck, a couple are interested, so perfect auction conditions

 

[Brad|E]

both auctions getting really interesting.

I'm surprised SouthKorea went so low.

 

[domain999]

CIA says it's Burma, so take it up with them :D
