yeah at any one time i've usually got about 10 names in the auction system over there.. but to be honest i like getting names that arent picked by others.. you would be surprised the offers i get on the names which nobody else even put into their list and at the traffic some of them get.. it all ads up
You are right though.. any really hot names of course are going to go to auction if they are acquired.. its not like the old days. But to be honest i dont bother half the time with those i'd rather have 10 good quality names and the traffic they come with than 1 premium name that i'm going to be forced to pay far too much for.. The offers i get on the 10 combined makeup more than the total of the one premium name in my own experiences anyway.. not that i sell names anymore really anyway but it gives me a good indication of what they are worth in the real world and not just in my portfolio... Guess thats just the way i think
