It was a little bit surprising to me to see 423 out of 796 domains (768 separate lots) listed in the Extended T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Miami Auction to be .co names. It will be interesting to see how many of them will sell.
Three .co names were sold in live auction in Miami (DayTrading.co $1,000, Alquiler.co $1,200, Coches.co $15,000) out of 37 that were listed for sale (I don’t count combos .com + .co).

This is just recent proof of what I’ve said before: the secondary domain market is a giant ponzi scheme pyramid: http://www.blackhatdomainer.com/the-secundary-domain-market-is-a-giant-ponzi-scheme-pyramid
