Today I stumbled on what I feel is one of the smartest domain sales landing pages that I have seen, possibly ever.

I spotted the sale of Feni.com on the latest DNJournal Sales report with interest. The domain sold by Latonas for $3,000 at the recent T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Milan auction. I think the buyer got a nice deal.

Jamie Zoch has just written an interesting post on his blog with advice and some helpful pointers on submitting domain names to auctions.
