The .me Land Rush auctions for insure.me, survey.me, why.me and many others were due to come to an end today but checking the auctions site it appears the Land Rush auctions have been extended by 24 hours. I have heard of auctions being extended by small periods of time (e.g. 5 minutes) if a bid is placed within a few minutes of an auction closing but, if speculation is to be believed, the domain auctions have been extended by 24 hours. If this is true, the closure for domains such as insure.me and hug.me could take a while.

Further to yesterday’s auction updates some intense bidding activity has been taking place. The highest bid domain is still held by insure.me and the price has almost doubled overnight from $12,517 to $23,405. This trend also seems to have continued with other domains in the top 10 highest priced auctions with all doubling in price within 24 hours and in the case of ski.me rising by 414% from $910 to $3773.

I have again added the current top 30 highest bid domains.
