The live domain name auction in Orlando has started. About 75 people are in the room, and many more are watching and bidding on the internet. The auction started with .com domains, and then moved into other extensions such as .net and .info.

    After the lackluster low reserve auction, these prices are quite an improvement. It looks like it was (is?) a lively auction.

    I’m at the airport now, but it looks like a number of good sales have gone through. I actually thought the low reserve auction went rather well.

    Thank you for the update! Its good to see domains holding steady despite the overall economic slowdown. I am also happy to see that GasPrices.com sold for $225,000. since I own FuelPriceComparison.com and am only asking $25,000. for it!… if anyone is interested, or knows of someone who is, you can reach me at rec3@cox.net

    Well, you were there, you would know better than I. I was just comparing the total brought in at the low reserve auction ($62,000?) from this year vs. last year when it was over $100,000.

    I hope to hear your impressions of the conference especially any information that could be useful to the ordinary investor (i.e., not a multimillionaire).

    @ Antoinette – I think last year’s early auction had twice as many domains though.
