Sounds like it was a lot of fun. I have been buying domains on and off since the late 1990′s. I look forward to attending one of these upcoming domain auctions.

Rick…..I think you were right the first time. Don’t get up there and smile…… if I was bidding I would find that distracting and confusing a little as to why you are smiling so much. Maybe most folks would not care, but it would interfere with my thought processes.

Instead of decide during auction to sell bellow reserve you should simply make reserves lower and you might end up with more money in the end. Because for example I make research long before auctions and if the reserve is too high after 1st round of research I do not include it in second serious research and into my head for thinking.

Rick – I enjoyed being at your auction. One suggestion: both of the other auction groups had software that displayed the bid status on those large screens at the front of the room. With Matt’s high-speed auctioneer patter, it wasn’t always clear how much had been bid and was being asked for, so I’d recommend that you have those figures clearly displayed in future auctions. Looking forward to bidding on more of your names then.

Did you think the sell prices matched your expectations? Which domains exceeded and which ones were lower. Would love to know your thoughts here
