Snapnames opens up listings for domainer sales; any comments?

[canswift]

I have been following the postings in DomainNameWire.com about Snapnames recently opening up the regular expiring domain sales for domain owners to list their (non-expired) names. Domains can be listed as Auction or Buy It Now (BIN).

I had noticed a few BIN or Auction listings over the last few weeks, but today those types of listings seem to explode. I have some searches I run for niche market names and the numbers of results seem to quadruple today due in most part to the BIN listings.

I don't really go to Snapnames looking for a $900 BIN name, I (like most others) am looking for an about-to-be-expired unrecognized gem. Could this be a good thing for domainers, or could this end up diluting the quality of the Snapnames "inventory" and become more like TDNAM? Nothing against TDNAM, but you do have to wade through a ton o'stuff to get to the gems. So what do other Snappy users think?

This is why SnapNames offers a different "Status" for a specific domain listing.

Expiring Domains are listed under "Available Soon"

Member Listed and currently live auctions are "In Auction" or "Buy It Now"

You can use the Advanced Search feature and select Available Soon Only, or Buy It Now etc for your search.
