I wish I was able take the credit for this, but I cannot. My buddy Daniel Dryzek of DanielDryzek.com and MeetDomainers.com just shared with me this great list on Twitter. The list is made up of all the 1 and 2 character .de domain names registered earlier today. Daniel also posted a list of all the .de domain names that were bid on in Sedo’s pre-auction which you can check out on his blog.
I would say this list is about 97% complete.
Any idea on what the average price for each was?
They were all hand registered Andrew.
Following Name shows up much to often on the list!
“Thomas Mueller (TEC-MEDIA-SERVICE)”
This is also near to impossible because of the rules Denic had set.
To me this looks like a “scam”!
being from a city where “the fix is in” may have originated, I concur that this person more than likely knew he owned these names before the “fair” auction began.
Friends and relatives, you know are always taken care of first and foremost in every part of the world. Am I wrong?
IT STINKS !!!!
Just to give you a idea of how the split of 1&2 character domains where reg.
Amount / Reg. Name

6 Muennich Rene (Neue
6 Hostmaster TP-Pro GmbH
6 Hostmaster Dunkel ()

6 Globe GmbH ()
the rest is 1-5 domains per provider registrar.
Technicaly not possible when taking in consideration that Denic would only accept 5 domains per minute/per registar.
Even if Sedo was working with several rigistrars isn’t it funny that Mr. Mueller got 25 % of these domains?
This STINKS big time and I say there is more behind this!
Denic, Sedo & Mueller might drinking out of one bottle!
