Heritage Auctions who is scheduled to run their second ever domain auction on April 9, took out an ad in the New York Times. Its nice to see Aron Meystedt and HA do the types of things that many domainers have wanted other auction houses to do for years.

Good to see some active marketing. This is what I call “They earn their commission”. However, they should have picked up some better names
Wayside.com, lunatic.com (lot’s of TM’s), DarkCastle.com and Jeremiah are very weak imho.

…GOOD EFFORT.
I wonder if using the Wall Street Journal or Financial Times would have been better, though…
