Monster domain. This one is going to go for some good $, even with an auction closing on Christmas day.

why is it PD ?

Client requested delete.
Mr Wiseman is not so wise me thinks.. Rather stupid actually.

 

[tuanng]

it's not violating any policies? hate the be the buyer then have to let it go...
it says client requested delete, but it could also be due to legal reasons, like Australiabank.com.au - which is also client requested delete, but Im pretty sure the domain is violating some rules

Looks like they own toy.com.au which will probably by a PD in the near future.

 

[tuanng]

toys.com.au is more valuable.
look like it's safe to own it then?

Woah! A nice Christmas present for someone

Bit more to the story I think.

Company was liquidated by Ferrier Hodgson - and looks like they haven't protected a valuable cyber asset.

I've written about it on Domainer. It's a great Christmas pressie for one of the dropcatchers.

By rights this should smash au records. Guesses on buyers and price? Wesfarmers have to be a prime candidate. Woolies have a bunch of problems that would probably rule them out currently. Whoever gets it is in pole position for Xmas 2016...

 

[Suzabro]

Will be very interesting to see what it goes for. Will definitely be a good sale to add to the 2015 sales list, nice end to the year.

 

[chris]

It's currently at $26,000 on Drop...

Great name. Looks like a bargain price paid today at the auction considering toys.com sold for $5 million+ to ToysRus

Registrant contact Jeff Marr
Haven't seen that name pop up for a while.

 

[neddy]

The Netfleet team will no doubt be enjoying their Christmas.

Congrats to Jeff - and to NF for winning the contest.

At $82,350, Toys.com.au is the highest ranking drop of the year, second highest reported .au domain sale for 2015:

Well done to Netfleet, and Jeff for picking up a killer domain name.
