The $1511 was my proxy kicking in, after the other bidder was able to bid with no time left.
If time running out on an auction isn’t an indication that it’s over, what is? In the 2-3 seconds that the screen changed to auction ended I could’ve shut my phone off thinking I won, and rightfully so.
My first thought is to only add 60 or 90 seconds when last minute bids are placed. At least it would speed things along and cut out the games. The second thought is to not update screens to “auction ended” until the auction has truly ended. The service needs to work flawlessly across all platforms. This is real money we’re talking about and should be dealt with in a serious manner.
Nobody is bitching. This is a situation that GoDaddy could handle better. Some suggestions have already been made. I don’t care about what issues other companies have. We’re talking domains here...dude.
research the issues the Worlds Financial Markets deal with regarding and this problem. It is much larger then a $1500 domain miss. its a BILLION Dollar issue at hand and its dealt with every second of the day the Exchanges are open across the worlds exchanges.
its Not the Platform as home boy explained. its your CONNECTION.
so "dealing with in a serious manner"
Billion dollar companies have moved their entire set ups to gain NANO second advantages when it comes down to this sh*te.
HFT homie ... u aint gunna win. construct your thoughts. bitching about an issue thats completely out of your control is a waste of your time

Wrong.lol
like a rock you are. its a f-ing CONNECTION issue. what dont u understand ??????
Everyone has different connections right? So how many different running times should be displayed? You tell us since you know how it works.ding ding. keith wins once again folks, he is undisputed champ when it comes down to his own logic and thoughts. better luck next time.
ALOHA EVERYONE
Again, tell us how many different times are displayed for viewers of any given auction? You can’t do it.Keith trying to explain to you would be a waste of all out time . @JoeStyler tried to explain it. He mentions Connection and Server.
I understand lag time and connection speed. Do yo self a flavor and hit the old interweb search.
Again, tell us how many different times are displayed for viewers of any given auction? You can’t do it.
If time is added to an auction, the page automatically refreshes. It should refresh with the correct time, not a time that’s seconds off.
You can’t have 100 auction participants all seeing different countdowns and blame it on connection speed.
So the answer is that you don’t have a clue how many different times people are seeing during GoDaddy auctions.Keith
Do u want me to hold your hand and link very easy explanation videos for you ?
Instead of arguing , do a search.
Like I said. I understand all of this and the reasons why you don’t understand it.
Being an Options trader for 10yrs I quickly became trained to not fight the system of data transfer and server issue. I understand your frustrations , but come on. Get a grip. This issue is not a new bug. They can update their programs every day specifically for these problems. Are they going to work ?
No. Things could speed up. But at that point yo mist yo bus gus.
You might fight it interesting if you actually read up on this problem in the Financial World.
So the answer is that you don’t have a clue how many different times people are seeing during GoDaddy auctions.
Executing a stock trade at an exact time would have an obvious correlation with connection speed. Resetting a clock to display a countdown isn’t remotely the same.
You can’t claim to know something while being unable to answer the basics. You said you know what’s up so enlighten us. How many different times are displayed if 100 people are viewing a running auction? We’ll wait...your like a 5yr old. get over yourself there sport. u demand answers from people like your some type of guru. when in fact your not.
u simply dont understand wtf it is your trying to fight here. good night. continue to try and push. call tech support. stop your baby bitching
Basically your phone isn't connecting to the server or the auction account correctly and it can't update the fact that you were outbid.
Right that part we can fix, if the app is not getting the feedback fast enough we can set it to show an error or some similar messaging, the connection issue we can't control. We don't run the networks that connect the Internet to the auctions servers. But we can do something and have it in the plans to do as much as we can to communicate better that there is an issue. Again though, this is tricky because if the app isn't connecting to the servers it might not be connecting to anything fast enough to know there is a problem.So the app believes there are no new bids.
That is one thing. But it is another thing IF believing their have been no new bids after a certain period of time the app THEN by default by itself tells you the auction has closed - without learning that from the server. Surely it could be set to only say auction closed when it has received a status message from the server that says auction closed?
People on here have suggested it should show a Pending message on the screen. Then the bidder would at least check as best they could what is happening.
That is the thing in every auction, there is always one other person in it not letting anyone have it cheap. In doesn't matter about the app, if he was going to get outbid, he was going to get outbid by the outside party he has no control of.that is a 'high' quality domain that's too bad you were outbid so late in auction when it appeared over.
