Used to own the .com, big industry but got very low levels of interest in the domain (in terms price). They are real world companies with a web presence rather than being internet focused. It s a bit of a trophy name really.

Are you able to share the sale price (or price range)? Would be interesting to see the difference between the .com and the .com.au price
I guess its got a lot to do with the difference between a domainer vs someone who develops domains in niches they have an intimate knowledge in and who have connections in the industry.
With just a little work this is a category killing domain.
The .com was $31,500 at auction in Oct 12 and bought by another domainer.
They sure have. Maybe Xmas holidays two years and 31 days ago were finishing up!
It's a great name. Category killer, 200,000 Phrase Search with plenty of potential buyers too..

What category is going to kill? How is it going to make money?

Why would it be worth more than it just sold for via an open auction?
If anything the typical drop name is probably worth less than the auction price once it is over. The drops are the most liquid part of the .com.au market in my view, compared to the aftermarket which is comparatively "dead".
Why would it be worth less?

Because most .com.au domainers follow the drops and once it gets out of that environment the buyer pool is much smaller.

ummm ........... ! well how many companies actually know the drop process exists?
many companies think that once a domain is taken and they have NO HOPE of ever getting it, i have grabbed and flipped domains for small companies and they are amazed that such a thing can happen.
of course it is worth more, when you know the right people.

What if the buyer takes a few weeks to market the domain contact end users and domainers then puts it through the AMA?
It will end up going through the exact same auction process along with all the other drops and AMAs.
The buyer pool will be MUCH bigger obviously. More Domainers will know about it plus a bunch of end users.
Don't know why you think there will be less buyers. All the regular drop buying Domainers will already be there by definition plus more

Again I think they'll get less plus they'll have spent money/time on several weeks of promotion. The auction process isn't the same because of reserves and poor publicity. It is also now a rerun auction which doesn't look good.
If the buyer is going to invest resources into finding an enduser the best bet is to stay well clear of auctions and sell it privately.

The price difference there is do to your marketing efforts, $$$ spent or time spent. The actual value of the name hasn't gone up.
