I believe that low reserves does not necessarily indicate shortage of funds. It is well known that a lower reserve stimulates a bidding war and so the end result may end up satisfactory. Last year if I recall correctly, diploma.ca went for more than $17000 when the reserve was, again as I recall so it may not be exact, $4k. But a low reserve may result in a sale that is still low by all standards so it's a riskier approach that one may take. In general, sellers would experiment with various approaches and see what works for them.

But to me a low reserve is a great buy opportunity, so if a domain I want has low reserve, I would rejoice rather than complain.

Back to the main question here:

If you have the funds, and can pick a maximum of 5 domains from whatever is being auctioned (i.e. not just the domains that I listed above), what would you pick and what would you make of them? Develop, hold, or aim for immediate resale? And if you develop, how would you develop the domains you picked?

Let's make it interesting and make some serious domaining discussion.
