whats wrong with Uniregistry ?
I like Uniregistry .. clear design ..great usabilty. marketplace with 10% escrow

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).

Don't you think it's "wrong" for a company to use the profit they get from their customers to compete against those customers?

so it wasnt end user sale?

$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.

You could say godaddy does this as well with their portfolio acquisitions and selling them on afternic.

The big question to me is, why did this domain expire? Who would let it?

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.

That said I feel like paying millions for acquiring large (out of reach) portfolios from the likes of Marchex, Kevin Ham, Berkens, Name.com, Rightside, Tucows, and so on is not really comparable to the companies that bid against their own customers in all the domain investor auctions. GoDaddy is not competing directly against their own customers in the same manner that Uniregistry and TurnCommerce/DropCatch/HugeDomains (and apparently Undeveloped too) does.

First time I saw this thread, I cannot keep up. Wow. Sorry to hear that. $50 gift certificate is an insult. I already planned to transfer everything out at GD for other reasons near expiration but think I will do so sooner.

A great name to develop !

wwwweb · Feb 26, 2018

still not paid for?

joro001 · Feb 28, 2018

I see the domain is now paid for and listed at undeveloped.

Electric bikes are so rare where I live in the UK when I first saw the domain up for auction I just thought it meant e as in online bike like emarketing etc. Just goes to show how different products can be huge in different places and virtually non existent currently in others.

Would love to know what sort of type in traffic the name gets with those sort of global search numbers though. All the best to the new owners.

Fast forward to today, ebike.com is redirected to multinational Bosch of course, it all makes sense. 70k is peanuts to them.

Yes thank you @zomainhacks for the additional remark. That's an incredible sale.

eBike.ca is dropping this week... Available for backorder at CatchDrop and other .CA backorder outlets. Wonder what that will go for since the .COM was so high..

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
