It’s always interesting to watch auctions, their results, their analysis. For the last TRAFFIC Las Vegas show, since friends have done a good job and saved me the hard work (thanks guys!), you can read more about here (Michael Berkens take), here (Adam Strong take), or here (Tasha Kidd’s take).

The only thing I want to point out is I believe current market conditions are a projection of current economy situation. There is a big feeling of uncertainty in the market and buyers are more cautious. The surprise of the auction was Cotton.com, steal at 77K range and only sold for that price because I was out of the auction room, or it would have gone for at least double than that. Live and learn.

With all that said, I’m closely watching the next auction from Monte and the Moniker.Com team which comes next week, at Affiliate Summit. Why watch this one? We can trade money and domains between ourselves forever but it is the new money, the new buyers outside of our core group, who will really make the difference in the market.

Some of the interesting names to keep an eye on:

Offer.com
Temp.com
LM.Com
DiscountGowns.com

Complete list here.
