Bargains galore 
Pissing me off that i'm spending more now than i did when prices was higher.
I'm down about 5k in the last 10 days, about half thru acorn other half thru sedo (this lot wasn't for me tho it was for a partner, so i'm only down about 2300) Would have been 5 n half if my internet didn't decide to 3 minutes before rick latona's LLL ended this morning.

Not really a good thing, as I'm blowing months aheads budgets 
, I just wish I had the income of some of the people I do business with
I keep telling myself that now is buy buy buy time and not sell time, I mean BHO.co.uk went for about £400-450 depending when you aquired your dollars, there are some TM issues with Microshaft which I expect is the reason it went for so low, but still they are nice letters.

Yes, prices are becoming incredibly low at the moment to try and get sales.
Two possible reasons -
1/ Holidays - People going away, or diverting money to the holiday fund.
2/ Nominet Cock Up - Several weeks of drops in a week has saturated the market.
There might be other factors, but there are still sales going through!

I would say now was a great time to be buying domains, it's classic contrarian investing. Personally though, my focus is on developing the ones I have before I buy many more.

It seems really quite on the traffic front. Where did all the punters go.
I'm having hundreds of articles written and new front ends to actually publish decent content...looking at my exit strategy. I now have socialnetwork.co.uk migrated to a decent WP system with new content about to be added.
Best to sit and wait for people with the to come back into the game, rather than sell at the bottom.

If you can do that, then it's the obvious way to go at the moment, but some of us need to balance the books!!

Well sure...its all about consolidating and making the most from your asset, but selling at depressed prices unless you have to is not a great idea.

Very true, but with child number 3 due in 2 weeks time, I could do with getting through a couple of month's worth of sales in the next couple of weeks! Having said that, there are a number of domains that I've not discounted at all.

I'm getting more collateral together and really just making the most of cheaper labour, article writers etc who can add value to my business such hat when the turnaround comes around I can power out of the "U" bend and achieve higher prices than I could of before. In a way its a blessing as I am forced to develop what I have rather than rest on my laurels and rely on parking!
