   | Although I agree this is extremely worrying, I doubt boycotting them woud do any good. All that would happen is domains would sell forcheaper of their employees would get the domains for even less.

                    | Great read Although I've seen many discussions on it. When it comes to possibly boycotting the Auction houses, I tend to lean toward what Peter is saying.In either case, it's agreed, it's extremely worrying when things like this arise. Because you have to wonder, does the auction house itself own the domain - or is one of the employees driving up the price? < And that's thoughts I'd have even before this all happened, now it's confirmed that it can and may very well happen / be happening. Sad really. |

| Strange that they are allowed to do this, it's like auction houses that bid on their own auctions to earn more money (chill bidding) or whatever it's called

| Well, lets encapsulate what we do know... 1. GoDaddy, Netsol and Tucows officially don't offer a level playing field by selling domains dropping via them to their official 'marketplaces' - tdnam, namejet, afternic. I'm sure all the major 'drop' services have some kind of sweetheart deal on with various registrars. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=489770 2. This is expressly prohibited by ICANN via the RAA.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=489770 4. Front running has been going on forever - http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...d-deleted.html http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...hese-guys.html http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...b-parsons.html http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...o-domains.html http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...registrar.html http://www.namepros.com/legal-issues...t-give-my.html http://www.namepros.com/industry-new...hand-hand.html http://www.namepros.com/legal-issues...ddy-spies.html http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...e-it-when.html 5. This has been discussed on NP - http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...egistrars.html 6. What can you do about it - Tell ICANN that language MUST be added to the Registrar Agreement to ABSOLUTELY PROHIBIT registrars from WAREHOUSING OR SPECULATION IN DOMAIN NAMES BY REGISTRARS.
