$30,000 thats a nice catch

can't see a generic like training having any issue especially as the new owners have already established themselves in that vertical.

tomorrow make sure you bid on drop as NF will all have hangovers

It's rubbish isn't it?! Not relevant to expiring domains at all.

LATEST NEWS: kjhjkh.com.au DROPS

shane bought the domain today after it went through drops back to handreg, it went unnoticed, it cost him $20, some obscure person we contacted said " well, it just shows you were the market is going and growing" , statistics say that 90% of domain rego's are hand reg up from 89.9% last month.

what a massive increase, domains are now big business, we contacted dubbo dentist and he said " i'm glad i got in early"

we provide support for businesses to protect them for loosing their domain.

we tried to contact shane but he was unavailable for comment.

smartsomething , creating propaganda

His first article was reasonably factual, but then he goes and spoils it all with this follow up:

http://www.itwire.com/government-te...t-confirms-it-allowed-trainingcomau-to-expire

Here's the relevant excerpt that I find offensive (bolding is mine):

It's understood Now Hiring will use the domain to host education content, unlike cyber squatters who may "squat" on a domain name with entirely irrelevant or misleading content.

And this bit was interesting - as if they'd purposely let it it expire! Spin Doctors on the job again.

The government also responded through a short statement via email, after iTWire sent it a list of questions.

"The Department of Industry is aware that the domain name training.com.au has lapsed," the statement said.

"The Department uses the domain name training.gov.au."

i'm surprised he had room for an article with ALLLLL those adverts !!!

Do you think they would of sold it for allot less if you made a direct offer?
