As for Illinois.org; with easy SEO, "obviously click on them" paid ads, and very strong direct sales potential, 31k is actually a steal of a deal. Developed correctly, it'd be a great full-time biz, or a super flipper site/company. Yes; congrats on the 2 sales, Andrew.

JP - I didn't have problems like this. Curtis – true, it’s the ones that didn’t sell that would have had better odds had bidding started below the reserve.

I tried 2 computers, both of which I had to close the browser window after every 5 or 6 domains went by because it just got slower, and slower, to the point where I couldn't click on anything. Nobody else had this problem? I was using an older computer i suppose, P4 3.0 w/ 2gb Ram, IE7, fairly fresh install. I didn't really have any problems as long as I didn't open the live video feed, but where is the fun in that. I thought the online software was slow.

Seems like a reasonable sign that there was some bidding excitement? I'm not sure what is normal for an auction like this?

Some sort of traffic specific to the state and .org. Not sure though. Oregon.net and Massachusetts.net sold for much less recently too. But I believe the buyer was Reflex Publishing, which knows what it's doing. John- thanks. I hoped for more but it's not like I lost money on these :) dcmike77- I think there’s more to this particular domain. Some sort of traffic specific to the state and .org. Not sure though.
