The Unofficial What's Happening At TRAFFIC Thread

[MarkP]

The first night of TRAFFIC is in the books - unless you got an invite to a private party

The cocktail party/reception and food was fantastic! The auction was, well, slooow. There were some unbelievably low sale prices, I didn't get them all but here is a sampling...

DirtyJokes.net $100 sold
Feels.com $500 sold
CommonStock.com $2,500 sold
FrozenDaiquiri.com $900 sold
Beef.net $2,750 sold
Staffed.com $1,200 sold
Absent.com $1,600 sold
Men.org $12,500 sold (I believe the high sale of the auction)
CD.com no sale at $150,000 bid
StenoPads.com $600 sold
SeafoodRestaurant.com $3,500 sold

We will see what tomorrow brings...

I think a lot of the big players are sitting on their hands, I saw very few of them bidding. My sense is that they are in a wait and see mode - they have big portfolios, big renewal bills and PPC revenue is down. They are feeling a little to full to be adding to their portfolio's. This is just my sense - no hard data to back it up.

I may have spoken to soon - lots more bids today and a lot of names moved.

The market is alive and kicking - people are just focusing more on names that they can develop, rather than relying exclusively on parking or flipping

This post by Mike explains the confusion: http://www.thedomains.com/2008/09/25/observations-from-the-auctions/

Thanks soggy, I'm very excited to have the name and look forward to the dev project. I flew to NY primarily to go after this domain. In addition, I learned a ton and met a bunch of great people.
