DomainFEST Global 2012 is slated for Jan 31 – Feb 2 2012 and is to be held in Santa Monica. No I won’t be attending, it’s on the other side of the world, but I will be watching the accompanying auction pretty closely. And that’s basically because of the quality of names on auction there, rare to find such quality names in one auction event.

Here are the domains, my picks in bold as usual (without price consideration):

When I say ‘without price consideration’ it essentially means I’m only looking at the domain, salivating at the prospect of developing them, without considering the price. If dudu.com can sell for $1 Million, most of these would be bargains in anyone’s book.
