Turkish domains

[o.c.]

Hi folks,

All of the following starts at $25. Increments of $5. Auction for a domain ends 48 hours after the last bid. Post "sold" to claim.

All the domains come with 1 year left till expiration (Well, almost; some of them are about a week shy of 1 year).

More like an experiment to get a pulse on Turkish domains and whether due diligence is a waste of time sometimes :) (See my detailed comments for each domain).

I guess it is customary to say "do your own research" but you don't have to for this set, if you are interested. Feel free to challenge or question though.
