Any action over there yet? I noticed there are some great names for sale.

 

[nicedomains]

No bids yet...

:/

nothing yet, but that is not uncommon for this type of auction, most of the action happens in the final hour as people hope to be the only bidder and get a name for the reserve price.

In the last 30 minutes of auction the site is unavailable????!!!!!

 

[mitok]

"A number of our customers have experienced difficulty reaching our website during the last 30 minutes of today's auctions and therefore were unable to bid.
In order to maintain auction integrity and to provide a fair and equitable bidding experience to our customers, we have extended the end date of these auctions 24 hours."

........from SnapNames.com. Nice gesture
