Tucows taking the best dropped names

Yes we do. The after-market for domains is changing rapidly this year
and we're reassessing how we handle expiring names to make sure that
our customers (and Tucows) benefit from these changes as much as
possible without losing site of your customers who buy and own domains.

I'm not sure how long that trend will continue.

Bad news for many domainers I guess. I have picked up some decent names for extremely low prices on the drop.

A $60 minimum bid? it used to be $40 to get started on pool and snapnames.

This is not good news for domainers. I don't jump on the aftermarket wagon but still I had some plans which I was just thinking yesterday :crying:

We can be assured that as time goes, someone, somewhere will come up with some good solution for the things.
