After talking with various .eu portfolio owners, we have decided to throw a .eu only no reserve auction on Tuesday the 27th of April, the opening day of our T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Milan show. We will only be running the best 50 names that get submitted. We are hoping to get thousands of submissions so they should [...]

Think T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Milan like a vacation in Italy at a 40% discount. When else do you get a chance to make a tax deductible trip to beautiful places like Lake Como (pictured here)? This famous lake, home to the real Belagio, is a short drive from Milan. Milan itself has much to offer. The city is [...]

As much as I want to get our live auction platform at Latonas.com out the door and being productive, we have decided to delay it further and use Proxibid.com in Milan for both our live and extended auction. We've done a great deal of enhancements on our own system and have lowered the lag time [...]

Domainers who focus on the ccTLD market will be happy to know that our T.R.A.F.F.I.C. schedule for Milan is once again focused on their market. Amsterdam in 2009 was a great success and we want to carry on that momentum with our annual event about country-code domain names. Like Amsterdam, we are getting commitments from [...]

I realize that I've been silent for the last couple of weeks. Between Kilimanjaro and the kids' Spring Breaks it has been a very busy time for me. I apologize for the lack of communication. Please don't take it as a sign that little is happening from our camp. My team has been hard at [...]

Rick asked me to shoot out an update today.  There are three things that I wanted to cover: 1) It is Day 3 of the Mount Kilimanjaro climb.  Since the group is taking the Machame route, they should be at Shira Camp now.  Tomorrow, they will pass through Lava Tower and hit Barranco Camp (3950m).  [...]

As I've said before, my ambitions in the domain industry start and stop with the auction company, loans and T.R.A.F.F.I.C. I have no intention of setting up a parking company or doing 40 other things that could possibly make a buck. All I want to do is sell things. In our offices we are constantly [...]

If you are a self-motivated individual with sales experience and a native speaker of German, Italian, French or Dutch, I'd like to make you an offer. I'm currently looking to hire four sales people to help with the promotion of T.R.A.F.F.I.C. events. A small base and a VERY aggressive commission plan is available. You can [...]

So yesterday I blogged about finding this Oasis of a hotel actually called The Oasis. It's a brand new and very comfortable resort outside the city of Montgomery. The plan was to take a day off from cycling and work and rest our legs. I didn't even leave my hotel room until after our auction [...]

There has been a lot of interest and action on this name so I thought the seller lowering his reserve to $350,000 deserved its own blog post. Please note that there are some stipulations at this price. If you are interested, contact us for details.
