I can`t believe it but I just bought: AUTO.COM

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?

Holy Smokes!!! If valid, you just got the buy of the century!

Hard to believe, though. This may be a big can of worms.

Hoping you get it....

Doesn't appear to be iREIT -- the seller only has one other name listed... hmm.

If it's true, you just won the lottery.

But I don't like seeing that this seller's only other listing is allbooks4you.com which has a Russian WHOIS which does not match the WHOIS on auto.com.

That`s what I looked at and I think he just made a fool of me but when I noticed it 20 minutes ago, I had to stop and think:

"what the hell?" then I copyed the text and pasted just to see if it was an IDN or something.....but no....it says the right letters.

Now what do I do?

Exactly.....guess the IREIT story just made me believe it, because obviously this is just bad taste joke in my opinion if it is a joke.

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?
