Afternic, LLC - On Behalf of Domain Owner

Some one bought it literally the second it got into closeouts. It's now being held by the afternic transfer service until it's scheduled moving date.

the domain was cityofmoscow.com it had no bids on expired auction. i watched and waited a closeout auction. but no luck .
I think the domain was taken by Godaddy company/Namefind

Someone may have backordered it using the $10 service at Godaddy at the last minute

But only large GoDaddy partners can do those backorders now, as that scam got taken away from end users awhile back.

There are lots of expired domains that are auto-backordered the millisecond they hit Closeout status and it's a better strategy to put in a minimum bid on any auction that you *really* want as these Partner Bots are really cleaning up.

I though that backordering is allowed only for drops not expired domains

End users can no longer make use of this scam, as GoDaddy removed the loophole, but their large "partners" still do it.

Godaddy has something like that. When yes u see expired names starting at 10 dollars at Godaddy, instead of the 12 dollars, that is back order name. If no one bid on it, it goes to the 10 dollars bidder
