Been following the Drop for a month or 2. Bought a few.
I think today is the first time I've seen a .com.au and its .au version hitting the active auctions together.
At -15 min they are neck and neck. At -10 min same. At -5 mins .com.au flys ahead.
AuDirect does not take up the challenge (of course they both might be the same buyer), and at the post .com.au wins by one Bid.
Just observing at this stage. Still too early to know how au direct values will run over time. But in this case Au Direct wholesale cost is equal to half the .com.au version. That's more than a third. We might make the jump into setting the retail prices similarly. Or I might. Might is the operative word. A small sample I know.
I've put quite a few bets on AuDirect. So this is very interesting to me.
As per Drop rules not disclosing the name or going price. I'd call it an interesting medium value pair of names. GoDaddy calling them both low value, for now.
