I saw i.me hit the auction blocks on GoDaddy auctions a couple days ago. Already at $7,300. The domain is 7 years old and looks to be being sold by the registry itself. Odd that it’s classified as expiring auction instead of public or some other designation.

This isn’t an oversight.
The .ME Registry has been intentionally letting domains go into the GD expired auction system. Likely to try to keep interest and value in .ME domains. Seems to be working.
Remember GD has a stake in the .ME registry. That’s why Bob Parsons promoted the extension and blog from it.
All these premium .ME domains get renewed.
I can’t find the auction on GoDaddy Auctions.
It is now closed
o.co anyone?
