Thought Convergence is extremely excited to announce that Aftermarket.com has been selected as the premier auction house for T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Down Under, scheduled to take place November 18-20, 2008 at the Sheraton Mirage Resort in Queensland, Australia.

DomainTools and Aftermarket.com are currently accepting domain submissions for consideration in the auction inventory. The submission interface is accessible at www.Aftermarket.com.

The domain submission period for the upcoming live and online auction currently underway and will remain open until November 1st. In addition to new domain submissions, all domains previously submitted but not sold at the Aftermarket.com auction during T.R.A.F.F.I.C NY 2008 will be considered for the upcoming auction.

The final auction list will feature at least 25 .AU domains in addition and a minimum of 75 competitively-priced, top quality lots. It will debut on November 14, 2008
Our critical and rigorous selection process has proven highly effective. The Aftermarket.com auction during T.R.A.F.F.I.C New York 2008 confirmed that competitively-priced domains move! Over 50% of the inventory in New York was sold, and of those sales, more than 75% sold above the reserve price. Based on that success, we will maintain the same criteria for the upcoming auction at T.R.A.F.F.I.C Down Under, listing up to 50% of the inventory at No Reserve!

The Aftermarket.com Live Auction will take place November 20, 2008 at 8:30 AEST local time; if you cannot join us at Down Under, a simulcast in real time will also be available. Don't forget to confirm your eligibility to bid when submitting domain names!
