Today, July 22nd, 2008 Dickinson.com will be auctioned off at the premier one-a-day auction house, Bido.com.

Unlike most auctions where premium domains have high reserves and a preset price level to start on, Dickinson.com will start at $1 and will be listed at no reserve. This means that the domain will be sold to the highest bidder no matter what, and is a true case of letting the market decide on the value of the domain name.

The auction starts at 1:00PM Eastern and will run approximately one hour. The accounts at Bido.com are free and only require a credit card authorization in order to verify the account holders.
