Most regular buyers on the drops would know that the stats Drop produce on their auction platform have never been right! 
Netfleet have generally been fairly accurate, however in recent times their stats have also been very wrong. One example from yesterday was the domain leatherjackets.com.au. They showed only 10 exacts - yet it has 12,100.
I wrote about this and other examples on Domainer today. The moral of the story is that if you are someone who relies on stats to assist you in your purchasing decisions, then make sure you do your own homework!

Wondering if a possible direct registration scenario might play out with this registration. Nonetheless, an impressive amount. Congratulations to the buyer..

I think lotto is a good example of why netfleet changed to the blind bidding system

Also, isn't this around the time that the .net.au promo-priced domains would be starting to drop? I can't recall the exact timing of that promo, maybe it's too early for those, but there does seem to be a lot of .net.au domains dropping at the moment
Yes I read that Shane. Some other fairfax domain names that I happened to be looking at recently are expired and are heading for the drops so there's plenty to come by the looks. They still want huge numbers on some domains though.
We are definitely in the window for that $1 .net.au offer Demenoid but there's not as many dropping as I expected.
What am I missing with the PD on plug.com.au?

What are your reasons for dropping these .net.au names?

I had some names I thought sounded good but let them drop after forum members suggested that .net.au domain names aren't worth investing in. Conversation starts here

Until such time auDA says .com.au holders have 1st choice in regards to direct registrations, I would hold onto .net.au names if they had been acquired prior to April 18 of this year..
Anything registered afterwards, you'd assume that rules would be implemented to stop .net.au'ers having 'rights' however, they may find that they 'may' have rights before general availability. It be worth anyone's interes to still hold onto those good .net.au names (if your sole purpose is to take advantage of direct registrations)!

Haven't seen DNT member "Shags" around for a long time. Anyone know if he's still involved with domains?
If so, there's a good one for him today on the drops. ShagaholIc.com.au
Ah the memories...

I don't understand the terminology and what you mean; would you be up for explaining more? Thanks
