   | A classic example, - mystery domain auction OK, well i was browsing Ebay.com for domains, as you do, and i come across a mystery domain auction, usually i would just skip the listing and keep browsing as i feel there just full of junk domains anyways, but i clicked on this one and just read the auction ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-newbies/375718-a-classic-example-mystery-domain-auction.html Auction linkhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Mystery-domain-n...QQcmdZViewItem I was thinking to myself who puts a 3 letter.com in a mystery auction and i looked at the guys feedback it says 0, so again who pays for a premium name worth alot of money to a guy with 0 feedback, and i took a look at the guys username adomainjac A Domain Jack? what you guys think scam?

 | Lots of red flags for sure. If the domains were worth as much as the reserve, then why hide what they are? I noticed that the first and only domain "clue" was that the 4 letter domain started with "QT" which doesn't indicate anything of much value to me... The 0 feedback is also a concern, and since they have a lot of domains it may be they started using a new ID for some reason. Some investigative work may be able to track down what IDs they used before and what feedback they had... ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=375718 One good thing is that they say you must be satisfied or they will replace a domain or refund your money. I would demand to know what the domains were BEFORE paying anything after winning the bid. That way you can verify that the person really does own the domains he says he does. And I would use a payment method like an escrow service to make sure I was protected.

| definetly i cant see how people could even bid on it. Saying that he will refund if your not happy doesnt mean he will, i mean anyone could say their unhappy if they didnt want the names. |
