Bidding on your own names at NameJet...?
I did a little digging myself into the featured seller account mentioned initially. These featured pages seem to all be Oliver Hoger's: http://www.namejet.com/featuredauctions/6ifd5lvs http://www.namejet.com/featuredauctions/8fyd9zfl http://www.namejet.com/featuredauctions/9rev0pcj So I can...- Points: 77

Bidding on your own names at NameJet...?
Between 2016-11-29 and 2017-02-19 when your winner8888 "bot" was active, it does seem to have bid almost exclusively on 4L.com, 3L.net, 5N.com, and 3C.com. So that almost seems plausible... but do you know how many public auctions during this period matched any of those patterns? 14,901 Guess...- Points: 66

Bidding on your own names at NameJet...?
I was really curious what the damage appears to be so far, so I wrote a script to analyze around 1.55 million bids and generate recommended refunds. I realize this is very premature because NameJet hasn't even confirmed or denied that these accounts participated in shill bidding or determined...- Points: 59

Bidding on your own names at NameJet...?
HKDN participated in 7142 public auctions of which 5194 were Oliver's, so 73% of his public auction activity. He won 425 public auctions of which 379 were Oliver's, so 89% of his wins. He spent $189,421 of which $177,404 went to Oliver, so 94% in terms of dollar volume. He was the runner up in...- Points: 50

Bidding on your own names at NameJet...?
Your commission on NameJet is 10% so if you bid $10,000 you are really bidding $1,000 because you'll get $9,000 of it back when they settle up with you next month. That puts you at a distinct advantage over legitimate bidders because you're only risking that you marginally increase your...- Points: 49

Unfortunately I found two more featured auction pages that appear to be Oliver: http://www.namejet.com/featuredauctions/2cpd2hzh http://www.namejet.com/featuredauctions/7syi4nah So now here are the totals from the two accounts I'm pretty sure are him: 6ifd5lvs - Seek bid on 18, winner8888 bid...- Points: 48

showcase Report Completed Domain Name Sales from NamePros Lander
NamePros staff connected us with the seller. They provided the full transaction details from Escrow.Domains. The buyer was represented by Grit Brokerage. They also reported the sale of Unison.co for $44k last year through the NamePros Lander. That one also transacted through Escrow.Domains...- Points: 45

poll .com price crash? - Cost Of Malinvestment?
What you posted is misleading for multiple reasons. First, I would say just from eyeballing it that 95%+ of your examples are where the original sale was an end user sale, and the subsequent "flop" is a wholesale sale. It is natural for a domain investor to pay much less than an end user...- Points: 41

Namebio forcing u to click ads now...
It doesn’t force you to click the ad. After you wait for the countdown there’s a link to close it. Clicking the ad doesn’t close it either, you have to wait for the Close link to appear. It’s just like those ads on free mobile apps and games, where the (X) button is disabled until you wait a...- Points: 40

We need to see a screenshot showing proof. I'm happy to add sales manually, just send me a PM or email me at michael@ with the domain, price, date, and venue along with the screenshot and I'll take care of it. If the sale happened privately you can put the venue as your own portfolio site, so...- Points: 34

I am Lambo, Q&A Anything with Me
First of all, he is the one that reported the venue, not me. What I received was an Escrow.com screenshot, which is not a venue, so the only thing I could have possibly done is swapped it with "Private". That would be a pretty rude thing to do when he took the time to report it with proof, to...- Points: 30

Domain Shane Announces DSAD Ending Relationship With Flippa
The Flippa Domains trend definitely isn't positive, see the chart below. The green line is the total dollar volume they were doing per month, and the corresponding trendline shows a steep decline from more than $360k to around $180k. The red line is the number of sales they were closing per...- Points: 30

auctions GoDaddy Expired Auctions can be tricked
This topic is something I keep a closer eye on than most people. Let me start off by saying that I believe the only correct and fair way to do it, with the least possibility of gaming the system, is to re-auction the domain when the winning bidder doesn't pay. There is no legitimate reason this...- Points: 29

auctions GoDaddy Expired Auctions can be tricked
Latitudes.com and Oasis.org are also being gamed. Maybe HelloSociety.com too. Oasis was driven up from $250 to $16.5k between two bidders in the span of 10 minutes with 11 days left. It doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in these new measures being announced that it takes all of a few minutes...- Points: 28

Namebio forcing u to click ads now...
It warms my heart to see people so dedicated to not providing a single ounce of support to the site. Especially coming from a representative of another industry service provider. Classy.

Namebio forcing u to click ads now...
Some of you are blowing this way out of proportion. Yesterday there were only 28 users who did enough volume to see the ad more than once. 8 were paying members and thus didn't see it at all. So that's 20 people on the entire planet who could have possibly seen the ad more than once yesterday...- Points: 26
