Moniker Geo-Domain Auction's Million Dollar Domain Names Reserve Prices Not Met

***** We have received a comment that implies there has been a mistake in this blogpost's prior version regarding the accuracy of my interpretation of the passed prices that I assumed were actual bids from investors. I listened to this live auction on WebMaster Radio and thought that actual bids were received. Inside Domaining did not confirm that actual offers were received from investors. I am going to leave this up for a few days and then delete this blogpost.
We apologize for any confusion or inaccurate reporting. I have revised the wording from rejected offers to pass.*****

I was at the auction, there was no 7 million dollars trying to be bid. That was the auctioneer bidding on behalf of the seller.

I am sure it is confusing, there were people during the auction that stopped the auction and asked about it.
