NF really seems to dominate the drops. In regards to HomeBusinessOpportunities, how many hundreds of times do you see "Earn Thousands From Home" plastered across website ads.

Big one on the drop today - SUV.com.au. Over $5k on both platforms.

Must be an enduser at this price?

And the winner is .................

Some crap drops today.

Unfortunately a few of them are mine - what could I have been smoking 25 months ago?

 

[Chumby]

SUV.com.au is an interesting one...

Surely an end user in the online car arena would have thought of purchasing suv.com.au prior to seeing it drop. I mean do end users just get lucky one day and see a killer name for them in the drops? Or do they purposely not contact the original owner in case the owners realise that the name is valuable and then renew/try to sell at a high price to the person who contacted them?

Cheers,
Chumby

QueenslandEvents.com.au is going ballistic. Already at $1502 on Netfleet. Must be an enduser (perhaps Events Queensland?).

And the other interesting one today is schedule.com.au - nearly $900 on both platforms. Not quite sure what one would do with this to monetize it effectively?

I thought it was a "dog" of a domain.



Congrats Morgan.

Thanks everyone!

Also picked up LoanRates.com.au should be fun to develop, i liked the potential for subdomains in the domain. Not sure if google will agree with me though haha

example: home.loanrates school.loanrates car.loanrates

After recent changes with the way Google treats sub domains it could work, prior to this sub domains were treated as separate sites, now they are more so treated on the same site, yet from testing this numerous times I do not think the full link transfer is their, I would think how the users link to it naturally may not be too easy. Worth a shot but, as it can work..

WTF?????

Spree.com.au on Drop - $414

Spree.com.au on Netfleet - $5555 - 6 bidders (but Bidder 6 only came in right at the end).

Sat 28 Apr 2012 12:58:55.792546 - Bidder number 5 placed a bid of $689 resulting in a current price of $251

Sat 28 Apr 2012 12:58:57.486592 - Bidder number 6 placed an undisclosed bid resulting in a current price of $5555

I'm puzzled - anyone else?

[Rhythm]

Bidding mistake by the bidder.

 

[soj]

It was meant to be a proxy bid on Netfleet.

Was it you Rhythm?

I see Netfleet have snapped it.

If it is a genuine mistake, I'm sure they will allow the error to be corrected.

I've contacted Netfleet support.
