the reality is the price of domains is totally artifical based on what
auda screws out of ausregistry. there is no brand value in the price
whatsoever. auda has screwed ausreg down to .com levels at 1% of the
market share, where has the brand premium gone? nowhere it never existed.

on one hand you say there is a brand premium and then on the other you
say you where never prepapred to pay it. if you are not prepared to pay
for something then that value doesnt exist for you. you delude yourself
if you claim it exists. you dont really value something if you are not
prepared to pay for it.

the current wholesale price will now be on par with .com even though the rules
havent changed, so where did that premium go? it never existed.
