italiandragon · Apr 15, 2008

I`m not sure what is going on but if this is another IREIT mess , I guess this is big mess:

http://www.afternic.com/name.php?domain=auto.com

Or I am just getting wet for nothing?

l-l-l.com · Apr 15, 2008

Only $10G's, congrats (unless it turns out to be AUT0.COM)! :music: :blink:
^ That's replacing the O with a "0" (zero) ...

Please keep us posted, Lorenzo.

AUTO.com
SWIN.com

in the top 2 spots, asking 5,000 min. offer for AUTO.com and $10,000 buy it now.

But don`t get me wrong, I doubt it`s legit, who would price it so low despite it is used as redirect?

:tu: im keeping my fingers crossed for you ... If its yours that would make this the buy of the century :tu:

Lets hope its not the same guy(first listing)

If the sale goes through, congratulations. If not, this is just another example of why this industry will never get out of the phase of it being considered a place for scam artists & squatters. This would also add one more piece of evidence towards the case that we need an ultimate location to buy & sell where fraud can't occur.

l-l-l.com · Apr 15, 2008

well

italiandragon said:
no, of course not yet.

It was the last domain added....I was following the advice given by Yofie regarding the IREIT mess and there were:

AUTO.com
SWIN.com

in the top 2 spots, asking 5,000 min. offer for AUTO.com and $10,000 buy it now.

But don`t get me wrong, I doubt it`s legit, who would price it so low despite it is used as redirect?

after seeing the latest lll.com sales by IREIT i truely think anything is possible

gazzip · Apr 15, 2008

Has to be a Scammer trying his luck

Auto.com points to Cars.com - both owned by Classified Ventures, LLC

I can't imagine they would be selling this, never mind at $10,000

bummer

.

Broker · Apr 15, 2008

Who dont someone email the whois owner and ask them?

bricio · Apr 15, 2008

Lorenzo, i really hope you have bought it :tu:
i saw this name and while i was doing a research i saw it redirects to cars.com

i am waiting for your feedback!!!

Indeed, I did check that before to buy it, but what do I have to lose.....at least tonight I`ll have gold dreams

Certainly it does not look legit to me either but leaving it there was a shame.

What would have you done?

hawkeye · Apr 15, 2008

I bet there's a surge at Afternic right now of domainers searching for 'deals'!!

Lorenzo, if it pans out, I'll let you hang out with me!

I hope for the best for you on this panning out, because you'll be the new 'big dog' in the domaining world, and it was due to some great sleuthing!! GL to you.

Here is the direct link for "My Advice" http://www.dotweekly.com/2008/04/13/try-this-search-for-sedocom-and-afterniccom/

Hope this one pans out for you! I have run across many Gems like this using this little trick. :lala: To bad i didn't follow my own tip this morning.

Lorenzo, I would have done the same thing -- use the Buy it Now option, and hold payment.

Just to be sure, I'd contact the owner of AUTO.com, and perhaps even Afternic.

Purchased it for $10G's, and then flipped it quickly (by offering it For Sale here in the #1 Namepros Marketplace™ (be sure to PM me first!) for B.I.N. $12,000 for an easy 20% R.O.I. :lala: :p

All the best, Lorenzo.

bmugford · Apr 15, 2008

I hope this ends well for you italiandragon, but I just get the feeling that whoever owns a domain like AUTO.com would have an idea of fair market value if they were going to sell it.

Yes I`ll write them, if the deal is legit I`ll donate a % of the future sale both to Yofie and to NamePros

I can`t ring anyone, it`s 3.30 AM here and if I ring anyone who`s going to listen to my wife who`s sleeping? :notme:
