Rick Unleashed on Auctions....Part 3 Part 3 End users will NEVER come to the domain auction in mass. Never. They will come one project, one need, one domain at a time. So you can't come to an industry auction and expect end user prices. Each auction house is doing what they can and each domainer must do what they can if they want to bring the end user to the table.
