Drops today - May 2016

Interesting times. I noticed that GoDaddy picked up a domain today that was on the "drops".

computerspecialist.com.au was "lost" at Netfleet for $300 + / +.

So has GD entered the dropcatching business - or are they simply offering competitive back-orders? Some screenshots on my blog if anyone is interested.

Looks like a big typo bid on Netfleet today. I bet the buyer is thanking their lucky stars that Netfleet didn't win it (Domain Shield did)! ;)

Losing bid on Drop.com.au was only $50 - and I was top bidder on DS with 5 minutes to go with a Level 2 bid ($50).

I can't see the typo? (Can't copy and paste to check either because it's a screenshot.) Sounds like a lucky miss though.

Ahh, I see - I thought it was a typo in the domain name. I was wondering how someone saw $50,000+ worth of value in that name but it sounds like someone made a typo when they put their bid in on Netfleet?

What happens to a NF auction bid, can a bidder retract an 'accidental' typo?

I see ebay.net.au is top of Netfleet's list today. And it does not have a PD (policy delete) symbol. Wonder if someone will buy it? (Rhetorical question!)

It's listed on Drop way down the list with a PD on it.

If the .net.au name was worth anything do you think Ebay would register it? It makes you wonder as to the logics of registrars etc who keep wanting to bring in more domain name extensions with the excuse there is high demand for it.

The demand is created by registrars and others who purely want to make more money selling any possible extension they can think of.

The .au is the exact same thing. It has been pushed by registrars, Ausregistry and others to make $$$. Not due to overwhelming demand or an actual need for an additional Australian domain name extensions.

The facts are there is not even enough demand for the .net.au extensions of most .com.au names already registered!

It is shameful that "Yes vote surveys" where sent out to people by an Auda board member company and that has been used to sway a result and excuse to bring in the un needed .au IMO. Next thing will be some people wanting to auction the .au to the highest bidder and almost in my opinion "blackmail" existing .com.au owners into defensice registrations via scare campaigns......
