As I mentioned above, they bid against domainers in auctions and compete against their own customers. The money customers spend at Uniregistry is used to compete directly against those same customers in auctions (bid handle "taryn" at NameJet for example).whats wrong with Uniregistry ?
I like Uniregistry .. clear design ..great usabilty. marketplace with 10% escrow
$72K isn't exactly giving it away. I think the dropcatcher got a good price, and if the buyer is happy, it's all good, they just have to pay up.so it wasnt end user sale?
Thank you for the clarificationAs I mentioned above, they bid against domainers in auctions and compete against their own customers. The money customers spend at Uniregistry is used to compete directly against those same customers in auctions (bid handle "taryn" at NameJet for example).
Don't you think it's "wrong" for a company to use the profit they get from their customers to compete against those customers?
You could say godaddy does this as well with their portfolio acquisitions and selling them on afternic.As I mentioned above, they bid against domainers in auctions and compete against their own customers.

We can verify this purchase. eBikes are extremely popular in Europe and Asia and this domain is the category killer in that industry. The domain is worth well beyond what it got sold for. That's the beauty of expiration auctions like this one. All bidders were investors.
It also puts them in a position where they do things like this to their customers.You could say godaddy does this as well with their portfolio acquisitions and selling them on afternic.

Fast forward to today, ebike.com is redirected to multinational Bosch of course, it all makes sense. 70k is peanuts to them.
Was reading only the title "ebike.com sold for $ 71,938" , thought what a steal then I realized it was a 2018 threadYes thank you @zomainhacks for the additional remark. That's an incredible sale.
eBike.com was bought by Legendary names in 2018 for $71k, before being sold to Bosch for over $1 million:Was reading only the title "ebike.com sold for $ 71,938" , thought what a steal then I realized it was a 2018 thread
Wondering what would be the auction price nowadays, I guess we'll have to wait a lot before seeing it dropping
