(PRWEB) May 8, 2006 -- The largest live Internet domain name auction
ever held produced nearly $2.1 million in sales in just 3 hours
Thursday, May 4 in the main event at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. WEST Conference

the largest .net sale ever reported.

The gavel also dropped on two other blockbuster six-figure sales during
the bidding in front of a standing room only crowd. A rare two-letter
.com, CD.COM attracted $275,000 and a three-letter gem, POS.COM
commanded $250,000. There were dozens of other sales in the five-figure
range.

Veteran professional auctioneer John Berry was flown in from Florida to
call the auction conducted by Monte Cahn, CEO of Moniker.com. The
auction was the centerpiece of the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. WEST conference. The
event attracted more than 500 Internet entrepreneurs for the largest
gathering of domain investors held to date.
