If you have good, solid domains, the buyers are there. No doubt. I agree with G and JP, the market is great and getting better. Some of the domains listed on some of the auctions are not really that good, but the ones that are good acronymns, surnames, generics, etc... seem to have no problem selling. Again...gotta have good domains.
Also, summer is a time when most people take a break. That is one of the reasons that I am not active on any auctions in the summer. In the fall, people are back to work, and thinking about making money. I think the Fall will be very lucrative in the ppc arena, as well as domain sales to End-users getting ready for the Holiday spending season. imo of course
