From what I gather, in the last e-mail he sent me, I think he's overwhelmed with sorting the bids e-mails and it'll probably be hard to respond to everyone.

Probably the way it was done, he got so many different domains being bid on in each e-mail, and then you'd have to match them all up in a master bid list or something to that effect to see the bid rankings. I think it would have been easier to just setup a quick click and bid page.

Spock would use his logic to deduce that the answer is clearly, "unusually high."

This conclusion is drawn based on the obvious assumption that if the price(s) were "unusually" LOW you wouldn't have shared this information with other buyers (who would be competing with you to buy). You would have silently purchased ALL of the names (or at least as many as you could afford) and only then you might post that he is/was giving away high quality domain names.

Nobody finds free gold and yells out, "Hey everybody, this guy is giving away free gold!"

Live long, and prosper.
