It appears that today’s news of Bido exiting the domain auction market has hit a nerve with domainers worldwide, as yet another sign of a ‘bad economy‘.

Tricolorro – he should have auctioned it on Bido 😀
Hank Alvarez is my hero. I even have a life-size poster of him on my wall. I mean, how can you not admire a guy who pulled the wool over so many domainers’ eyes like that? Kudos to Hank. I raise my glass to you, my friend. Salut!
