Wait, Pool.com is still in a dump throwing business? - Pool has long been irrelevant in the expired domain business. This morning I read Michael’s post about Pool “de-emphasizing” its expired domain drop catching business in favor of new TLD business opportunities. My first reaction was “Wait, Pool.com still does drop catching?” Alright, so obviously the first thing domainers think of when they hear the term “Pool” is expired domains. But I can’t think of the last time I’ve used the service or recommended ... read more ...

Perhaps it’s because I think it’s a silly domain (coming soon, .SouthAmerica!). So I missed the conclusion of the .asia sunrise period auctions earlier this month. Here’s a look at the top sales: discover.asia $112,111 sex.asia 83334 buy.asia 73000 sexshop.asia 53607 gold.asia 46602 models.asia 41009 homes.asia 40000 gifts.asia 38003 book.asia ... read more ...

Buyer of $166,000 Shoppers.com Can Keep Domain Name - Domain was purchased in backorder; buyer wins arbitration. Imagine buying a domain for $166,000 through a backorder only to be hit with a UDRP arbitration dispute a day later. That’s exactly what happened to Xedoc Holding SA, which bought Shoppers.com at Pool in February. The domain was previously registered at Network Solutions, but was not auctioned at NameJet due to a glitch. As we reported last month, a UDRP commenced on February 14, 2008 for the domain ... read more ...
