Maybe someone had a good business or personal experience with him and bid more. Too many things come in to play. Sell to end users and cut out the bullshit =) John is right.

Give me a few years but I do think if a name is good, it really doesn't matter who submits it, they will put it in. It's when you a big player that you can take mediocre names and get them in @John,

Domain names in different hands produce different results. There's too many variables. Example what if you had won the name, and you submitted to the same auction, would your name have been accepted? Not guaranteed and I'll tell you why. The person who won the name and submitted could have had a particular reputation and pull with the people who decided what names to accept. Let's try this mental exercise here for a second. Do you think Frank Schilling and your names will be viewed equally and without partiality? No. I had read in a domain article somewhere about something called "Premium perception" Take a half-decent domain name and place it in the forum for sale and you'll find it may not even get $25 dollars for it. Take that same name that belongs to Rick Schwartz and he announces he is auctioning at traffic, you'll get a completely different result. And this is just one example. I don't feel bad If I sold a name to someone and that someone flips it for tens of thousands more. Why? I don't have those contacts, there's luck involved and a different set of selling skills... Would you be kicking yourself if you had won that name, spent that money purchasing it THEN cannot flip it or auction it off? Don't sweat it. Shane, you cannot worry about stuff like this.

He's a fun guy. I am jealous of what's he's accomplished at his age. We went out together a few times and he had a MUCH better time than I did at TRAFFIC and I had a great time. His scraps are better than my best.... except for my wife LOL Ahhh, Merlin. He’s a fun guy. I am jealous of what’s he’s accomplished at his age.

Those automatic estimator sites always under estimate great domains. For example check the value for movies.com on estibot. I am actually watching few more domains @ snapnames right now.
