I'm of the belief that all 24 of the reported sales on this thread are valid. I'm not sure what happened with their reporting software afterward. It seems to have gone buggy.

I guess the good news is if you had 1 sale of possibly only 24 you did good, the bad news is if it is only 24 total then I guess the silent auction followed the trend of the live auction, This was the first geo auction as last year in Chicago they didn't have one so maybe something new of this sort takes time to gather some steam, some bidders may have not wanted to pay to bid as well so if you had names in you may see some after effects as I received 4 offers so far today, I would expect the offers to be from domainers but they seem to be from end users so maybe just a lucky coincidence in timing.

Was your sale not on the original list of 24 listed on this thread?

I'm hoping it was more than 24. Like you said, 24 is very low. TRAFFIC silent's have been getting around 300 sales lately.

Bill it was on the list of 24, I passed on PubCon as I figure TRAFFIC will be stronger, not saying PubCon won't produce some gems, just think more advertising will be done for TRAFFIC and it's still months away which gives time.

I would check to make sure that you aren't listed at pubcon anyway. I explicitly told my rep to not sweep from previous auctions, and I just found out he did anyway against my explicit instructions.

The geo auction was the first time I have ever submitted to Moniker, don't think anything would be considered premium for that but I'll spot check it, Thanks.

The non geo domains have never been submitted and will give them a shot at TRAFFIC and see if any pull through.

Yes, this is why I set different reserves for each domain and each auction. I raised my reserves for pubcon under the assumption that it would not be marketed, making low reserves very risky.

Like I said above, keep excellent records, and on important details like Moniker screwing up reserves make sure that you get a confirmation that they received the materials and comments. It could help later... like in my case with low reserves from previous auctions being swept into this auction, even though I explicitly set higher reserves for pubcon on the official spreadsheet submission... again, glad I have it on record with a confirmation of receipt by my Moniker rep (Don L*).

I see that quite a few of those on this list that are now missing in action with your updated list were regged in Sept by you know who.
Now you know :td:
I ran the whois on them and see who you mean, but what do you see in this that I'm missing? What happened to those names?

I believe that the concern/interest among some of the people is this:

Domain Name: ILLINOISRESERVATIONS.COM
Registrar: MONIKER ONLINE SERVICES, INC.
Whois Server: whois.moniker.com
Referral URL: http://www.moniker.com/whois.html
Name Server: NS1.PERFECTDOMAINS.COM
Name Server: NS2.PERFECTDOMAINS.COM
Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Status: clientUpdateProhibited
Updated Date: 20-nov-2007
Creation Date: 20-sep-2007 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I believe the final date for submission was 9/17/07, so the above was registered after the final date. If you look at the traffic thread there was a similar issue about the same owner registering hundreds of names after the close of submissions but being admitted to the auction.

There were others that have done a more thorough investigation, so see the other threads. I do admit there is a pattern... and when it comes to hundreds of domains it is a statistically significant pattern too!

thanks for the answer. so one thing is the date they were regged compared to the cutoff date by moniker. i spose they can let in whoever they want at whatever time though.

what else is going on that people would be concerned about with this auction? and what happened to those names with bids that disappeared?

yea, I agree it is their auction. A few days late is no big deal. I suppose the objections were with the large volume of late submissions.

I think the other "missing" domains were related to some bug or whatever. I do know that mine was one that went missing and then I got the seller's agreement today from Moniker, so it wasn't missing for long!

I had a feeling that this auction wouldn't get many bids, so I was reluctant to lower my reserve price...
Unfortunately I was right...

Thanks Wot

I'd say hackensack.com was a bargain and oakland.info, fresno.us and murrieta.com to note a few. All underpriced.
