T.R.A.F.F.I.C West 2006/Moniker.com Live Domain Auction

There were a few operational hiccups during the event but from my front row seat it was a very exciting auction that served as a great test lab for what will be a centerpiece of future T.R.A.F.F.I.C. shows. My wife was with me and told me at the beginning of the auction that she planned to leave after the first 15 minutes to take care of some other business. She wound up staying the entire three hours because she found it to be too much fun to break away.

Moniker.com handled the event and their staff put in an enormous amount of work to pull it off. They deserve a lot of credit for that and with what they learned from this event the next auction at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East conference in Florida next October should make this one pale in comparison despite its success.
