[…] pidió una cantidad que nadie antes había orecido nadie . Ya hay personas que piden más transparencia en este sentido para dar una imagen exacta de lo que sucedió […]

It was a Catch-22. All of the great Geos, particulary popular US city Geodomains, are long gone and the present owners have no interest in selling them (I know of at least five US city Geos that have declined $1,000,000 offers in the last six months). The only major US city being auctioned was OklahomaCity.com and it had a high reserve. For someone not experienced in monetizing Geodomains, that’s a hefty leap of faith.

all shill bids
moniker is corrupt
domain tools has proof

Jay @ domaintools apologized for making these unfounded remarks. I know Monte, CEO of Moniker, and the Moniker team for many years now. From my experience these folks are top notch, Monte in my opinion is the hardest working person in the domain industry.

I was the seller of SantaMargarita.com and I’m extremely disappointed with the final sales price. Fountainhills.com sells for 15k? Google trends comparison: http://google.com/trends?q=fountain hills, santa margarita

Not sure what happened but I was expecting at least 5k…

I like both names. I think FountainHills could have done better at the TRAFFIC auction, I know I would have bid on it as well. Maybe it is a lesson to sellers to stick with TRAFFIC for now?

Sahar,

India has over a billion people and has several languages.. Hindi is spoken by a great number of them. Hindi will be BIG on the internet so I wouldn’t be surprised if in 10 years it does fetch that amount.

You just have the anglo saxon view that wherever we go we should be able to speak english . We should expect others to bow to us and speak to us in our language not theirs…
