How is it that a domain like evz.com is now at $7K on enom club drop, and a domain like ipc.net is now at $590, also at enom ? (both didnt end yet)

Such names will be sold much less (in my opion) if they were sold anywhere else. I also assume the buyers in the drop services are the same buyers in all the other places (forums, sedo, etc) ... so why are they paying a lot more for drops ?

bottom line: How come that at drop auctions domains get significantly higher prices then anywhere else ? Is it the thrill in buying a dropped name ? Is it that the buyers think that because it dropped then it's a bargain ?

This has been discussed many times.

It's because eveyone & their poodle knows that the name is dropping & if they want the name then they can bid for it & they know where & when to do it. I also believe the "thrill of the chase" also plays a part in it too as people get a thrill outta beating others to it.

Either that, or my secret Jedi mind tricks that make people bid a lot are working :)

Or it's just the big players who dont want the attention and dont buy off the forums.

Have to agree with BLazeD. Auction fever, that adrenalin rush from the competition, the fight, the battle, is addictive.

And--excepting shills!--at least two contenders have to be in the game!

Well I think I should open a drop catching service, let my names "drop", then "catch" them, and then auction them to drop catchers.
Thats genius ! :-D
