Oh, well.

NEXT!

Learning? still learning? Sheesh .. ok, I know it's a steep learning curve but have they learned nothing in the past decade?
Who wants to have a friendly bet on the length of time they stay in operation?

Yeah, basically not interested in trying to hawk the rubbish they have encouraged others to buy over the last few years, but keen to flog off other´s gems cheaps at a second rate venue for a good commission.

I think they will enjoy auctioning off their junk names for a while. Now they dropped the Bido Guarantee just two weeks after they started. Shouldn't they predict this before? With no reserve and starting at $1, I wonder whether anyone will put their names there. Clearly, they just want to sell their own names at least for now. With one name per day, they can last for some years.

They had the guarantee there because the market was buoyant and they didn't think it would cost them anything - the launch timing is obviously unfortunate, but yeah, killing the guarantee after 2 weeks (countless months of dev) makes them seem very very amateurish - perhaps they should get back to developing their funeral names, because that seems most appropriate at this time.
