	PriceRadar's Found in the Attic: Land Grab in Cyberspace By David Steiner AuctionBytes.com November 18, 2000
The past year was a cruel one for many dot com startups. Recent downturns in Internet stock prices caused some companies to go belly up and others to end up on the auction block...the online auction block! If you're thinking about becoming the next Jeff Bezos and would like to pick up a domain name cheap, here's how they did at auction over the past 30 days broken out by top level domain (domain suffix). (NOTE: On Thursday, ICANN created seven new top level domains: ".biz" ".aero" ".name" ".coop" ".info" ".pro" and ".museum." http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-3730464.html?st.ne.1002.ots.ni) All searches were done with PriceRadar's Price Guide Tool.
