Pretty good result, got the one I was after...

The nice keyword/9 year old's got a bit rich for my blood.

Good fun though, the extending twice makes my head hurt - all part of the game i suppose

I missed out on my one and I thought I was paying over the odds.

Good to see others really paying top $$$ for quality domains that they really want.

Well done Drop!

Yeah the auction went well, too bad Optus didn't turn up to play.

Can't wait to see who the new owner of mothersday.com.au is...

Me too, and Ride.com.au - very nice short 1 word domain.

It would seem the new owner will miss the boat on this mothers day but probably brought it with next year in mind.

While on the topic I just typed in 'fathersday.com.au' out of interest and noticed it redirects to 'fatherhood.net.au'. Thinking the .net.au as the primary a bit odd I typed in 'fatherhood.com.au' and that too redirects to the '.net.au', so I guess this is one to add to the quite small list of companies running with the '.net.au' over the '.com.au'

Overall had fathersday.com.au been available (or even better been in the same auction) I think it would have only been worth around 50% or less of the mothersday.com.au sale price.

That's interesting re fatherhood.net.au. You do wonder why people prefer the net.au when they have both. Surely they realise com.au is the 1st choice for most of their users...

Agree mothersday.com.au much bigger domain than fathersday.com.au
