I’ve decided to take my own advice. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of reorganizing and repositioning within my organization. I’ve been basing many of my decisions on the same cliché‘s I’m always preaching. The thing is, I don’t always listen to my own sermons. So I...

A few months ago we made a radical switch to move all finance, support and domain transfers to our team in Manila. To say that some of our customers have been frustrated would be an understatement. The time difference has been a major hassle. We’d send an email to them, only to get a question ...

Since we launched our diamond division I’ve had multiple friends reach out to me and tell me they would like me to help them find a stone. I’m happy to have the chance to do business with them. For those that don’t know, we can FedEx diamonds to you and let you look at them [...]...

The next T.R.A.F.F.I.C. event takes place in Dublin August 24th – 26th. This will be our fourth event in 2010 and I must say, we are getting better at this. The best part of bringing the show to each corner of the world is meeting the local domainers. We had many domainers from British Colombi...

This is a reminder to everyone that our .ca auction is today at 4 pm Pacific which is 7 pm EST and entirely too late in Europe. If you are in Europe and have an interest in one of the names, I strongly recommend you place a proxy so our system can bid for you [...]...

We’ve been doing more and more business with Eddie Sherman these days. He’s a good domainer that prices his names to sell. Today we are auctioning off almost 200 of his names at just $1 reserves.  It is running now and will run until 6 pm EST Thursday. It’s a big list with a lot o...

We deal with some pretty crazy transactions over here and there are many good stories to tell but I have one here that is worth sharing with everyone. It really goes to show that persistence and patience pays off. On November 20th, 2009 we sent out SZ.com in our newsletter at a heck of a low p...

I’m not trying to imply that I don’t want more premium .com domain submissions for our Vancouver auction because I do. If you have some, please tell us about them. That said, we’ve got some monster .net names which have come in. Sometimes when it rains it pours. First, we inked a...

Yesterday I was talking to a long-time friend and business associate about how there are two sorts of business people in this economy. There are those that are failing and those that are working harder than they ever had and pulling through. At our company, everyone puts in 12 hour days. Toby, Ryan ...

One of the most sought after extensions in Europe, .fr, seems to be getting more and more friendly with domainers. AFNIC, the organization that runs the ccTLD will be sending a few people to Milan for our T.R.A.F.F.I.C. event later this month. Today, they issued a white paper on the secondary market...

Trade shows are a funny thing. We are selling a lot of tickets to Milan and it is on track to be an excellent show. The seminar panels are packed and the auction inventory is almost completely full. However, we still have room on our Test Track panel for entrepreneurs who want to pitch their [...]...

When we first switched our famous newsletter from buy-it-now sales prices to an auction format, it was a hit. One problem we found though was many people didn’t have time to get their bids placed. So, we changed it from being a one day auction to all auctions being for one week but one startin...

As posted earlier in the year, Latona’s and T.R.A.F.F.I.C. will host an exclusive .EU auction at no reserve on the opening day of the show. The minimum bid will be 500 Euro. Below are 46 of the 50 names we will be auctioning. We have only 4 spots left. 3G.eu 5gPhones.eu Apples.eu Aut...

T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Milan will go on as planned. I plan on being there even if I have to take a boat. All morning I’ve been in contact with my friends in Europe and nobody has expressed dire concerns. Everyone I’ve spoken with expects air travel to be fully operational and normalcy restored i...
