Six-Figure Drought Continues But Four and Five Figure Domain Sales are Flourishing

[Ron Jackson]

The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com. 6-figure sales remained on summer vacation for the 3rd week in a row but buyers were out in force scooping up hundreds of domains priced between $1,000 and $50,000. DomainHoldings sold a group of 22 numeric .coms for $14,800 each - a total of over $325,000. You can get all of the details here: http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2012/20120718.htm

Snapnames needs to do more bidding to get them numbers up, imho.

No kidding. When DNJournal.com said, " Moniker/SnapNames teamed up with the AfternicDLS to sell #4 Hipsters.com for $28,500," it made me wonder if that meant Snapnames and its partners "teamed up" and shill-bid the sales price through the roof, just as Snapnames admittedly did on hundreds or perhaps thousands of auctions in the past. Oh, I didn't read that important bit of history (Snapnames' admitted shill-bidding) at DnJournal.com, where Snapnames is portrayed in a reputable fashion and mention of their tarnished history seems to be conspicuously missing, although that tarnished history would seem quite relevant to any auction "results" provided by Snapnames.

It DOES make one wonder. It also makes me wonder about those entities willing to partner with bottom-feeders.
