DNF$: 1,545 | Auction name rank I'm not complaining, but maybe DNF Management can come up with a weighted list for the names on auction...meaning if there are 20 people selling name, you have at least 1 name in every 20.
Example...
Name-Maker has 10 names in the first 70 names for sale
Sharpy has 8 names in the first 57 names for sale
My first name is number 73!
Anyway, I'm not bashing anyone and I'm not upset...just pointing out something that I thought might need tweaking.

DNF$: 2,395 | All the $1 starting bid names are randomly sorted on Friday afternoon. Then listed after those are all the domains with a starting bid of > $1, randomly sorted. It is just the luck of the draw. Sorry! |

DNF$: 1,545 | Yea, I know...all my names do start at $1...but unless there is an incentive to list at $1, I'll just start them at $20 and if it's only a few more names to wait then maybe that's the better way to go.

My first name is number 73! | 73 is not bad at all. Some peoples first name is after 300. Like Sornman said, the luck of the draw, and this auction is huge.
Good luck Top!

DNF$: 943 | Who knows.... next time you may get #7 -&- #3 (instead of #73). Such is the random system.
Good luck. This is going to be a blast tonight!  |

DNF$: 1,545 | OK, since we can't manage to introduce a little parity on the $1 domains, I'll just start them at a higher price.
Thanks guys and good luck to you too!

Country: | 73 is probably ideal. At that # there will probably be about the max # of bidders logged in.

Country: | Just as an example, the average sale price of slot #1 from Jan 25 thru March 9 is under $6.
The average sale price of slot #73 from Jan 25 thru March 9 is over $13. So I don't think it matters, as long as you have good names.
Also Ken, Name-maker and I have 20 names in the auction at $1.00, you have about 10, that would increase NM &S's chances of being drawn in the early slots.
I realy think it's luck of the draw.

DNF$: 1,545 | Hi Sharpy,
Please don't take my post wrong...I'm not upset with anyone and I'm not *****in...I just thought it would be nice to list the names in a snake like fashion.
Example (based on 20 sellers)
If Gregr has name #1, his next name is #40, then #41
Sharpy has name #2, his next name is #39, then #42
TopNames has name #3, his next name would be #38, then #43
and so on...
Anyway, it really does not matter because I can just bump my start price a bit if I'm worried.

I would guess that over 90% of domains with the $1 opening bid sell, whereas less than 5% of name starting anywhere above $1 end up selling, even if they have reasonable opening bids (which many do not). Someone with more incentive than me might work up the exact percentages.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. No ones gonna let a great name go for a buck.
