Many in the outside public are wondering if the prices paid at these auctions really justify the worth of these names. It is starting to "appear" that domain names are being hyped by a "market within a market". We all know that perception is everything and these auction houses have to manage themselves professionally and across the board. This is starting to look like business is being done under the table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112616498992283199.post-82254598637582374562007-12-18T09:09:00.000-08:002007-12-18T09:09:00.000-08:00We'll see how this plays out.I suspect that the th...We'll see how this plays out.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that the threatened lawsuit may have had something to do with decision to do over the auction.<BR/><BR/>I agree that an independent audit would be ideal, but it won't happen until the domaining community demands complete auction accountabilty.

This is 2007 not 1999. They should also have their auction house independently audited at their own expense to ensure the integrity of the system to bidders. That is the least they can do to save their reputation and not lose business.NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804244410525365121noreply@blogger.com
