auction OKDN.com -- PPZP.com

[Bannen]

OKDN.com - okdn.com - Killer LLLL for anything to do with domain names. I have a minisite on there but I want to go with a different name for that content.
PPZP.com - ppzp.com - Triple repeating P (for Price, Power, Pay, Porn, Photo, etc etc), easy to remember and type (opposite pinkie fingers on the keyboard), even brandable (it rhymes). Had minisite plans for it but, once again, going with a different name.

Both regged at Godaddy. Both have more than 7 months before expiry.

You're bidding for the names SEPARATELY.
Start bid for each one: $80
Min increments: $1
Auction end: 72 hrs after final bid.
BIN for each name: $275

Pay by Paypal only, or else hand deliver cash to my doorstep. In the case of personal delivery, you must be accompanied by a single girl, of legal age, who looks like a supermodel, and must have good teeth (her, not you).
If you're a very new member and/or have TR of < 10, please PM me to confirm before you bid. I may need to give you a few lashes, to give you a taste of what's in store for you if there should be any trouble with the transaction down the road.

Thanks for the bids, here's how things stand:
1. Nem0, in a polite yet self-assured knowledge of knowing that these names were indeed worth this starting price and much more, bravely ignored his wife's adamant rule to buy no more LLLL, ponied up the 'nads and started us off with the minimum bid for both names. Well done Nem0, guys around the world beer-salute you and take inspiration.

2. Dman_2007 swans in with a bold strike, instantly upping the ante on PPZP to $85 and showing with a rapier stroke that he is in the bidding as a real man, not a mouse that can be frightened off by other more timid bids of minimum increment. This is a man who will go to bat for you if you're in trouble, and, indeed, take a bat to you if you're causing him trouble. No g-string underwear for Dman, an excellent and deserving second bid on this name.

3. Moneymakerster, true to the long and confusing lack of clarity and commitment seen in his username, makes a paltry, somewhat passive-aggressive attempt to outbid Dman and bids, if it can truly be called a bid rather than a squeak, $1 more. But what most people don't know is that Moneymakerster often wins by cunning tactics, letting others make the powerful, energy-draining large bids, then flitting in and topping their bids with a tiny increment. This would never have worked back in the barbarian days, where such small maneuvers would be quashed by a big broadsword tearing him in two while Conan laughs and wipes the blood from his blade; but in the internet age, such pinpoint tactics are the stuff of legend and can make or break a person's fortune. Will Moneymakerster continue to end this auction in quiet glory?

4. Stub dips his foot in, full of brash self-assurance yet cautious hesitation. It's not a bid to make you praise the gods and experience enlightenment in the face of a man's challenge against all odds, but you have to respect that he at least doubled the minimum increment, quietly hoping to appear a serious bidder and yet not wanting to throw attention onto this name he's bidding for. It's an in-between tactic that shows a little certainty and a little hesitation, obviously inspired by Siddhartha Gautama's precept on taking the middle path, and we'll have to see if Stub juices up into a heated bidding war should there be other bidders on this name, or if he waters down to a shrivelled dilution of his former self and bows out. I, for one, have seen deep into his soul on other threads, and I think he is very capable of not only winning, but exceeding magnificently.

Update:

5. Andriushc, in a frenzy of subtlety, decides to teach Moneymakerster a lesson about making min-increment bids, to show him he's not the only geek with gristle, and tops the bid with another dollar. He could have bid much higher, we've seen his courageous form in other auctions and marvelled and cheered and whistled him on, but he's cunningly decided to play the small-bid gambit, and does so with a sneer and a spit, though these are affected merely to mask his deep-felt care for all living beings, including the other bidders.

6. Bluename enters the ring calmly heroic. This man is the ideal warrior. Not in the real world, where he is quite skinny, pasty-faced and with a lot of acne scars, but when he lets loose on the keyboard, empires topple. He doesn't need to prove his manliness with a huge bid, nor will he allow himself to be intimidated into the paltry game of min-increment bidding. He chooses a harmonic median between the two, and, taking time only to fortify his courage and energy with another bag of chips and some pop, and letting the empty containers fall with scorn to the knee-high pile of old empty wrappers filling his room in his married younger sister's basement, he clicks 'submit reply' and rockets on to glory.

7. In a completely surprise move - at least, if you're a noob and you've never seen it happen before, and if you're a total milksop wet blanket whenever anything even mildly unexpected occurs - MillerCCC penetrates the auction as a wild-card interloper! He makes a flaccid bid of minimum increment, all the while thinking he actually has a chance against his wolflike opponents, when really they have the bidding sewn up tight as a cow's ass in fly season. MillerCCC came completely unarmed and not knowing the game rules, he PM's Bannen, spells his name wrong, asks Bannen if Moneybookers is okay (when Bannen clearly specified otherwise), and did not even ask Bannen if it was okay to bid even though he has no TR and is a brand new member; and, when asked, would provide no evidence of being a member in good standing on any other domain forum. So, thank you for the bid MillerCCC but in this case the ringmaster Bannen must, exceedingly respectfully, decline.

8. Stub, using his secret ninja spider-sense, has intuited that the previous bidder would be rejected. Showing his consummate skill, he merely adds a dollar to that bid, knowing that it need be treated with no further seriousness than that. In a nod to Stub's patience and piercing insightfulness, Bannen accepts the loss gracefully and returns the high bid for OKDN to Stub's previous bid of $82, and wastes no more time on such a small hiccup. Bannen will also now stop referring to himself in the third person format.

Current:
OKDN.com - Stub - $82 WITH A LITTLE MORE THAN 1 AND A HALF DAYS LEFT TO BID! Before you run away, too scaird to bid higher on this one, take a good look: It has the very popular word 'OK' (meaning good, well, friendly, accepted) and the very popular abbreviation 'DN', for Domain Names. I know that, with this economy, I'll take a bath on this sale; still, it's at less than half the price I paid for it, so you can make many more bids and not look like a fool and still get a great deal.
PPZP.com - Bluename - $90 WITH A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO DAYS TO BID. Again, this price is still well under half of my paid amount. Which means absolutely nothing to you bloodthirsty vultures, but it does show that you've got a lot of bidding leeway while still getting the name for a great resellers price.
