Tucows drops now $60???

[thebutler]

When did tucows drops change over to a minimum of $60? FYI the minimum used to be $15 opening bid.

Here's the site tucows auction site;
ddirect.domainauctionservice.com

The days of finding PR5s for $15 are over!!!

Hmmm was reading that thread you posted and it looks like if the registrant doesn't renew his name and no one bids on the name then tucows keeps some of the names for themselves. Now, isn't that against ICANN's rules of registrars not owning and holding domains? And they hold them and park them and charge you $80 to get your name back.
