Offical Unoffical TRAFFIC 08 Vegas Thread

[cheezecake]

Just curious does anyone know what the hell is going on? 9 days to auction so why in the hell have they not finished the list and started their "Promotion" to earn the 15% of my sale price. Monikers auctions have turned into a joke recently way to many inferior names at the auctions and numbers being carried on the back of one decent sale. How do they expect to get a bunch of bidders if there is no list out other than a few of the live auction names?

I usually buy about 10-15k worth of names at the traffic auction plus spur bidding on others I dont win but I for one will not be buying in this one and I am emailing my account manager to let him know not to include any I have submitted to the auction in the auction. These names had to be submitted in october or november

Monikers attempt to corner the auction market has actually in my minds led to better auctions by SEDO (Though very poorly run) and snapnames etc. Moniker does not have the staff or time to run 2-3 auctions a month like they are trying to do

Just my 2 cents by the way

Good to get it off your chest, IMHO.

Any updated link(s) to the upcoming Traffic show? :gl:
Thanks much.

The recent moniker idate auction was a joke! Hardly a mention of it anywhere. The full list only appeared the day before it started. Only a handful of domains sold at the live auction and when I looked at the silent auction an hour or so before it ended there appeared to be no bids whatsoever!!

Maybe 25 names sold in the silent auction at idate. Same thing happening here. Will be no advance time to look at and research domains before you bid. I am done with moniker and traffic until they get themselves straightend out

As an aside, how much do they charge to attend? And, has there ever been a verified sale - and then leading to a fully developed and promoted website - to someone other than an Usual Suspect™ ... at any of the Traffic Shows to date? IYHO's. :gl:

TRAFFIC is always different though; it brings the big players together. Has anyone received an email about their names being accepted yet? I am sure lots of people feel the same way but I am genuinely surprise one of my names didn't make the Live (or at least what we can see so far).

I got the usual email asking me to lower prices on about ten domains.

That was at the beginning of last week.

 

[cheezecake]

I have sold domains including one in the livein the past not sure whobought it because the money was paid

Has anyone else heard also? This is my first time submitting domains for Traffic and all were set with very low reserves.

Don't worry too much about it. Last time I submitted 8 domains, 3 were accepted. I did not get any notification that they were in the auction until I saw the full list. Once the full inventory list comes out it is easy to check if your domains made it as they are usually in alphabetical order.

It isnt finding the domains it is people having time to see them etc and decide what they want. I submitted over 500 so it is not easy to look for 500 domains in a list. Moniker needs to update the system so when you log into your account you see what domains got in

 

[cheezecake]

still no freaking list out

 

[Charley]

still no freaking list out

Why is it taking so long ?

 

[cheezecake]

because they are so busy with other crappy auctions
