Aron Meystedt, a longtime friend and domainer, managed to hold an historic auction at Heritage Auctions in Novemeber 2013. Over 2 million dollars in domains were sold during and right after the auction.
A second auction has been scheduled for mid March. They are seeking 1 and 2 word category domains, as well as generic branding names priced from $1000 to $100,000 and up. If you want to try and get some names in the auction you can email him at AronM@HA.com
Good luck to all.
While this is not domain related, I found an email that I received by Facebook yesterday very interesting.
Hi Larry,
The phone number 1917xxxxxxx has been deactivated for Facebook text messages due to the following reason: the mobile service provider this number was registered with no longer recognizes this number as valid. If you changed your mobile number or switched mobile service providers, please visit Facebook to add your number again.
Thanks,
The Facebook Team
I understand that the number is needed for their messaging service, but I had not used the messaging service since I changed the number, so I assume that Facebook is monitoring all changes. It made me think what other things that Facebook or other services that I had given information to in the past is monitoring.
