Important Information
Auctionpus.com has switched from daily to bi-monthly auctions. In other words, only 16 auctions per month, two sets @ 8 auctions each.
One set will start on the first Monday of each month at 2 PM EST and end on the third Monday of each month at 2 PM EST.
The other set will start on the third Monday of each month at 2 PM EST (in other words, as soon as the previous 8 auctions have ended) and end on the first Monday of the next month at 2 PM EST.
Rinse and repeat
Why?
The situation is quite simple: domains are selling through the Auctionpus marketplace but as far as our 8 daily auctions were concerned, practically nobody was dropping by each day in order to buy through them.
Why? Probably because domainers/webmasters are only willing to buy top dollar domains individually. In other words, they’re not willing to drop by and analyze our auctions each and every day if we’re selling <$100 domains exclusively, even if the domains in question represent good buys.
Our marketplace, on the other hand, was well received because we've made it easy for them to buy in bulk: they simply visit our marketplace page, analyze the domain list (~700 domains at the moment of writing) and if they're using a keyword analysis tool, they can simply copy/paste the keyword list we've put at their disposal.
The Conclusion
Our marketplace will remain intact (affordable exact match dot com domains at $65 each) and as of this point, we will only auction 16 domains per month (2 sets, 8 auctions each). By implementing this change, we're able to focus on top dollar domains (mid-high 3 figs at the very least) exclusively and that way, everyone is satisfied.
If you want to buy domains worth mid-high 3 figs or more, check out our bi-monthly auctions. If you want to buy cheaper domains, simply purchase 'em through our marketplace.
Current Inventory
People wanted quality and we implemented changes accordingly.
To be perfectly honest, there’s no way we would have been able to put ~250 top dollar domains priced to sell on the table each month at 8 auctions per day but with only 16 spots available, we can definitely do just that as of this point.
The 8 auctions you're seeing on Auctionpus now started last Monday and will end on Monday at 2 PM EST (~6 days left), here’s a bit of information about the 8 domains we’re auctioning atm:

~10 hours left, the 8 auctions will end at 2 PM EST and as mentioned previously, another set will start right away (those auctions will end on the 2nd of May at 2 PM EST).
In other words, there are 2 sets (8 auctions/set) each month:
1) one set starts on the first Monday of each month at 2 PM EST and ends on the third Monday of that month at 2 PM EST
2) the other set starts on the third Monday of each month at 2 PM EST and ends on the first Monday of the next month at 2 PM EST

Our second bi-monthly event (8 auctions) started last Monday at 2 PM EST and will end on Monday (May 02) at 2 PM EST, so in about 5 days.
We're auctioning some amazing dating domains, there has never been a better dating portfolio priced to sell on the 'domainer to domainer' market IMO. Here are the 8 domains we're auctioning atm:

Nope, only one jewelry-related domain was sold but the seller was a fucking douche and didn't go through with the transaction even though the reserve we agreed upon was met ($2,500).
I never accept submissions from "suspicious" sellers (the industry is not exactly huge, so it's usually fairly easy to determine if someone's legit or not) and in this case, the seller was an experienced investor (he owns ~3k domains), which makes this situation even more frustrating. Oh well, the buyer didn't want to go public and I respect his decision, c'est la vie.
