TDNAM's "exclusive cash parking auctions" disapeared pretty damn fast

This seemed to happen a lot with these auctions in particular;

Anyone know the official reason it got canned or unofficial reason?

Me thinks it's still up and running only now it's hidden from public view!?!

Have recently been following two domains very carefully, one at Blue Razor and one at Wild West. Both are now approx. 25 days past their expiration dates, both have had their registrant info removed at the GoDaddy WHOIS (FYI: "Complete" registration info is always available at Network Solution's WHOIS!) and both should be listed for sale at TDNAM but are NOT!?!

After all the outcrys of foul, Bob and Company probably went "Studio 54"!!

More exclusivity...doesn't mean higher bids.....

I'm gathering they lost cash....so closed it quickly...open auction formats I gather, see revenue increase when it's a free for all.

Thats why I liked it.

A lot of bidders couldn't be bothered to pay the extra 20$ / month (either out of cheapness or on principal) so it was great in theory since these people couldn't bump up the proxy bids or extend the auctions. The $20 membership fee was covered within the first auction.

Does TDNAM still sell domains which are later renewed ? Thats the reason I do not bother with TDNAM, I really do not like my money to be blocked with Godaddy desperate to make some cashflow....
