@ Davius

I guess it depends on the name. I don’t really buy .info names, so I don;t know values. You should ask your rep about the domain contract to ensure that you can actually raise the reserve at this point.

Hello Elliot. I wanted your advice on how to proceed with Silent Auction Reserve Prices. At present, I have a .INFO domain that has been accepted to “Vegas’ Extended Silent Auction”, but am afraid that my reserve price is too low ($100). The .com version sold for $300k+. I set the reserve low so as to be accepted to this auction, but I’m wondering if I should try to raise the Reserve price to a little…..

What’s your thoughts?

I must have missed a blog post somewhere however, I wanted to briefly comment on the conversation that is going on here.

A good friend once shared with me that leaving a comment on someone’s weblog is like walking into their living room and joining in on a conversation.

That being said, rude and condesending remarks about someone will not get you very far in the conversation.

We all benefit and learn from one another when we
respect one another.

“I think it is regrettable that a conversation needs to reach that level on a public blog.”

You’re suddenly very reserved but what is regrettable is that you feel you have to go around talking trash, with little basis and TONS of hypocrisy.

Again, Bido? Domaining? I even get daily emails from Sedo selling a domain.

Singling this out smells personal and vindictive, not constructive. Your last post was constructive.

That kind of behavior, which is detrimental to those that chose to sell, forces me to keep it real. Sorry, nothing personal but these types of veiled attacks (ie, suggestions) are usually sour apples.

Have you even noticed that they are giving away MORE than their commission on the sale of these names to Habitat for Humanity?

I love the passion and the clear intellect and drive, not the methodology or motive behind it. Cheers.
