Glad to see Snap land this. We need them back in the game. There needs to be an alternative to big dollar auctions where buyers still have a shot at landing a good name at a low set price by paying up front and staking an early claim. I have been getting very frustrated like everyone else, but if they land one really good name for you (like mule.com) it more than offsets all of the misses.
The landscape in this game changes so rapidly it is mind boggling. I think they will adjust and get back in it - and the sooner the better!
