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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 just got off the phone with this company, no one seems to know anything about this. Rather, not that it is or isn't accurate, but even who in the company I could speak with. No verification as of yet.

Maybe he put the wrong ext. by accident? Once I bought a .com that turned out to be .us, just an accident.

We were both upset, I thought I got a .com cheap and he thought he sold a .us for $$$.
