Thanks Cliff!

I think Moniker should decide at their sole discretion which domains should be auctioned live. Unless I'm missing something, if someone is interested in a particular domain, there is no incentive for them to show interest beforehand thus increasing the likelihood of it going to live rather than silent. The domains being auctioned live will get more attention/exposer thus possibly resulting in a higher final price. Look at the sale/no sale ratio of prior auctions where this same method was used. I'm surprised it's being done this way again. Moniker is capable of picking out the most saleable domains. If they did it, it would result in a higher sales ratio and a higher total sales figure. Is my logic flawed? It wouldn't be the first time. lol

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Cheers,

Eric
