Andrew,

Checking Argon.com, it appears this domain went into pending delete
on 12-26-05.

On 1-5-06 it went back into the original owners name - Argon Networks.
And, it is still in their name.

Reset.com and Supervisors.com followed the same pattern as Argon.

Punt.com never went into pending delete.

I wonder if Snapnames is auctioning these off with the cooperation of the domain owner?

So what these names will be dropping or no?

Interesting indeed. I never got this email at all. Well I guess they are brokers of sorts now..lol

Could be someone (not the owner) called the registrar to renew the domain, hoping to steal them, or did a chargeback, etc.

$ 75,805. Bonkers

It was mainly Vertical, BuyDomains and Bonkers doing the serious bidding.
A few bids from others - like hifi.

I think its all a conspiracy to hold back high value domains from us so we'll pay loads of cash later down the road. Or maybe I've drank too much coffee today.

I always wonder about this issue..

I mean they do have their hand in the cookie jar, what is to stop them?
