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

italiandragon · 04-15-2008, 10:28 AM

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?

verbster · 04-15-2008, 10:31 AM

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....

l-l-l.com · 04-15-2008, 10:32 AM

wow

this is another big news

lucky youu lol

.tv · 04-15-2008, 10:32 AM

No doubt.

Steve · 04-15-2008, 10:32 AM

Interesting -- I hope you actually won it!

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

Keep us updated!

squid · 04-15-2008, 10:33 AM

Holy moly.

gazzip · 04-15-2008, 10:33 AM

whois shows as

Registrant:
Classified Ventures, LLC (DOM-1679769)
175 W Jackson Blvd, 8th Floor

US

Domain Name: auto.com

Must be a screw-up but I hope its is'nt for you

RJ · 04-15-2008, 10:34 AM

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.

Red Rock · 04-15-2008, 10:34 AM

Wow,
Nice Catch, Lorenzo!
Your bid seems to be missing a 0 or 2.
That seems too good to be true!
Update us, after everything is finally done!
Congrats to you!

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?

rudyhernandez · 04-15-2008, 10:35 AM

Holy Moly!!

RJ · 04-15-2008, 10:35 AM

Wait to hear from Afternic.

Have you made the payment yet, or has the seller completed Step 1 in the process?

xman · 04-15-2008, 10:36 AM

You are one lucky domainer getting that type of domain.

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.

Have you already paid?

Only $10G's, congrats (unless it turns out to be AUT0.COM)!

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?

l-l-l.com · 04-15-2008, 10:40 AM

this thread would be one to watch untill you get the domain man

i have just drank one litre of water reading this lol
