Morning Folks!!

Good Morning from the Ritz Carlton! The first wave of attendees will come in town today and let the party of BUSINESS begin!

Phone bidding closes at NOON today. We now have at least one phone bidder for over 50% of each and every lot. Of those, more than 50% have multiple bidders. So we are about to see what a real auction looks like when you have meaningful domains up for grabs with no reserve or domainer level pricing and a TRUE CONTEST errupts.

The phone bidding page will be REMOVED from the site later today. So this is your LAST CALL. After today the only type bids we will take on any specific domain from a non-attendee is a 'Pre-Bid' with the highest amount you would be willing to pay for any particular lot. We will bid on your behalf until bidding exceeds your Pre-Bid. If the bid we place for you in your behalf is the highest bid without going over your ceiling, you win. If bidding goes over your highest price, you are out.

If you want more control, then register today. If not, that is the best we can do without disrupting things and getting prepared for Monday. The phone banks are going to be WILD!! So you have been advised!

I will be wall to wall today and from this point on. I may or may not be able to answer emails. So please understand.

The weather today is great. We may have a few showers during the show but there will not be a rain out and you will be able to enjoy your stay.

Again, please travel safely!
