Excluding the IDNs, there were very few good .coms in this auction. Even some of the IDNs were crap (italian or whatever they were). I have my own theory about how and why those IDNs were entered into this auction, although I have not checked yet who owns them.
Also, you can't reasonably expect people to pay big money for 4-word combos. As well, taking a state or country name onto a city is only valuable if it's required for disambiguation.
I think the geo domain auction business is a limited time business. Good geo domains might get flipped once only, and ascii is largely finished. AC might need to find a way to interest and bring the market to geo IDNs if they want to continue this auction with any success.
I was extremely disappointed that none of the IDNF IDNs got sold, but I guess I wasn't surprised.
Who made the $20 comment anyway, was it Dan Guyes or one of his worshippers?
