I knew it.
It also had high bids on Name Winner.
I was bidding only $400
Oh well, but I think the traffic is as not high as some ppl think.
Overture 2k not always means much traffic.
Nevertheless I've noticed that some ppl pay really ridicolous prices for expiring domains. Mostly PPC SE's owners. They try to get all the names with traffic and pay ridicoloud prices for them. I think lesbin.com, a domain with no more than probably 30 type-ins per day, was backordered through Pool for about $4k.
That makes no sense.
Sure, type-in traffic is great, but paying $4k for 30 uniques daily and for a mispell?!
Wtf, even KRL wouldn't pay that much
BTW, those stupid PPC SE owners, on the one hand, pay the most for the type-in domains, on the other they are in some way destroyign this market and decreasign the domain value.
When someone types-in a domain, he's looking for something particular. If he types in 9 times some domains and gets only similar search pages, with pop up hells, he will next time search for something through Google and that's why the traffic on type-in domains will probably decrease in future.
