I can hardly believe what happened, I recently was so frustrated with carpet cleaners because I had been ripped off so many times over the years. But recently I learnt of the carpet cleaning consumer guide at http://www.CarpetCleaningConsumerGuide.com.au and the fast information on that website truly made all the difference. I finally hired someone trustworthy. They were a bit more expensive up-front compared to many others BUT they didn’t charge me any extra like all the others I previously hired. Thank you to the carpet cleaning consumer guide.

The state of our industry is what everyone is saying and to be honest i think the industry is doing well! Its slow on the low end but these domains got some great prices!

The problem is when you already purchased your domain for big bucks, you cannot risk potential buyers not be present in the auction!

So I understand that some people can be reluctant to decrease their domain’s reserves.
This is more true for top premium names in vertical sectors where the value is only/mainly very huge for the people of this industry. Their lack of presence involves the name will sell under his potential value.

On my hand I found plans.com and cleaning.com be solid domains for fair prices, these were the ones I won.

Agree with you. Well priced domains sold.

Also everyone should take note of what I have been saying for over a year, that is for this particular auction (moniker live traffic) if you put domains at low or no reserves your going to get a fair price.

would sax.com have sold for $70K if it had a 70K reserve instead of no reserve? I think it wouldn’t have gotten a bid.

There were many domains like this including all the .me ($5K reserves) that went as high as 70K.

As far as your best buys happy to say I had 2 on your list, marry.me and restaurantsupply.com which I thought was the steal of the show

Great seeing you
