As reported by Davine in our Namejet auction for week ending 9/20/2009, CheapYachts.com was sold for $1,979. The winner of the auction at that time was "skyblue99" who had set an high auto-bid which was not surpassed during the auction.
On Namepros, one of our readers commented that cheap yachts wasn't so cheap. Apparently skyblue thought the same thing and defaulted on the winning bid. Cheap Yachts is now up for reauction which will conclude Friday October 2nd 2009.
Update: CheapYachts.com was reauctioned and went for $1,700 on the second go-round. Winning bidder was Taryn. We were in this auction for a client but gave up after $1,000.

Topping the results include
AseanCooperation.com - possibly one of the major asean websites purchasing this name?
HotelMelbourne.com and HotelsSydney.com - Clear top domains for hotesl in Australia. Possibly both purchased by the same person for a major site launch or rebranding.
TSCS.com - Very high number for a LLLL - clearly more there than just the four letters. Some traffic and PR in this one but not enough to justify the end price. Possibly looking at another end user sale at GD.

Some sales that stand out include:
GrandBank.com - Clearly a category killer for Banking with at least one bank in every state utilizing the name "Grand Bank" based on SEs.
Villages.net - Due to some recent weakness in the .net market between domainers, this excellent domain went for less than it probably would have gotten two or three years ago.
Sawgrass.com - A very common corporate name. Clearly only for resale to end users.

Today we will be Live Blogging the US House of Representatives Subcommittee on Courts and Competition Policy - Hearing on: The Expansion of Top Level Domains and its Effects on Competition
11:15 - Finally got it working. Will post updates shortly.
11:25 - Commitee member is asking if ICANN can do their job essentially? A very wide question with the answer with Doug Brent talking about how ICANN secures the root zone and how China needs its own ICANN appoved extension.
11:30 - How will this proposal assist with securing the Internet and Intellectual Properties?
response: Things are not as secure as they should be. This proposal is moving forward without considerations.
11:32 - What enforcement methods will ICANN have to keep gTLDs from violating their own rules?
Brent: Make it easy for IPs to challenge names. There's room to allow this to work better than it does.
DelBianco: If you have the right rules, maybe. Because enforcement is what counts. Right now we don't have any enforcement. Rules become obsolete the minute they are created.
Legislators have 5 days to submit new material. After that the committee will provide its recommendations.
Too bad I missed most of this due to the very poor method of streaming used by the US Subcommittee. It actually took raw file editting to get at the stream. We'll do better next time.
