All CVCV.com's , no matter what quality , requires an initial bid of $1,500 .. I'm sorry to say, but this is rather stupid.. As not all CVCV.com's are even worth $1,000 .. xuzo.com , wexu.com .. etc...
It's a shame .. So now I can't grab CVCV's off Snap any longer unless they are truly premium..
They are ones already owned and put up for sale - check the whois expiry date on them and you will see that none of them have expired.

I'm not sure if that is correct, if you take any CVCV.com and order it through snapnames, then the script will detect that its' consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel.com and automatically increase initial bid to $1,500
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is my experience so far.
