[Rubber Duck]

Yeah, but how many of these were actual bids?

From what others were saying, it seems the Auctioneer was making it up as he went along.

[Wot]

They will now go to the "silent auction" where they may join these. :)


Interesting addition to this at NP's , it transpires that one registrant owns over one third of the names in the "silent auction" and they were all regged via Moniker in the last 3 months. :eek:

It may of course be a storm in a teacup!

[Rubber Duck]

Yes, but even Tornadoes and Hurricanes start with very small shear winds such as a couple of trucks passing one another!

A little wind from me in passing.

[bwhhisc]

Wasn't the Chinese and Japanese listed in the 10k and up range.
And India.com in the $1mm and up range?

Wouldn't the the bids have started at this point as "valid" and then bid up from there?
I'm not seeing anyone pass on $1mm for India.com, much less $ 3mm. :rolleyes:
