Seems to me they are short sighted. They got lots of registrations pool wouldn't get since the names weren't perceived to be worth more than $8.75. If they were worth more than that, they were bid up anyway to a higher sale price. Now they will lose a whole lot of volume on lower value names and those in the new TLD's. More than likely, many more will now be caught by enom users the hours or days after the drop at $6.75 if not seen to be worth $30-40.
Strange as it may sound, this could be an advanatage for the slower services like expirefish that have no chance in millisecond catches, but could catch a domain 10 minutes after the drop, but before someone trying to do so manually (if the price is sub $10).
If Enom would add info/biz/org/us support to club drop, they could dominate the low end market as well, sending namewinner into the history books.
BTW, my namewinner list normally had between 50-200 names, and once had 300. It now has 10, 5 of which are uncanellable since I outbid someone else.
I think this may be the time to stop catching and start promoting and developing. I also think I'll raise my own minimum prices as well to some extent since any acquisitions from now on will be more costly.
