GoDaddy allows HugeDomains to use bots for automatic bidding on any expired domains on their platform

I'm only a domainer with a limited budget vs HugeDomains (Big Company) who may have unlimited budget to spend on domains

Why is this unethical behavior allowed and it seems GoDaddy is supporting it, by allowing it to happen. many people complain about this but they don't answer it.

I think this should be a serious concern, because it's really annoying

This is happened 2 times to me

On a spot view, both domains are on indonesian language? Correct me if I am wrong.
Since you picked them manually, and you knowingly elected to pay between $12 and low 3 figures, they may be worth this amount for you. HugeDomains will never sell these with their automated factory ;) It is not good that you did not win what you wanted, but it is good that hugedomains grabbed something they do not actually need and should not want for any purpose.

While we all know this and many suspect that GD and HD are working together, this is the 100th thread on this topic and 3rd with today's posts. Let's keep it tidy.

The GD and HD collusion is getting noticed more and more (more threads on NP about it appear all the time). I don't see how it's legal.

Agreed

Maybe NP should start a new thread group on the home page just for the GD and HD suspicions lol.

Yes it is an Indonesian word

Ngantor = Working or Work at Office

Seluler = Cellular Network

I see a lot of Indonesian domains in their inventory, I don't know why they might like it. The domain that I bid for is very potential for the Indonesian market, my goal for the domain is not to sell but to be developed

GD lets HD inflate prices; HD gets API access.

Keep raising awareness; of unfair advantage

They don't like Indonesian names. They automatically bid on any name that others bid on. Lots of Indonesian bidders = lots of Indonesian names.

They automatically bid on any name that others bid on
Excluding 1) their own current drops 2) their own old drops [dropped again] 3) their internal blacklisted terms (various legal reasons mostly, specific to complaints from tm holders they had to deal with earlier)

This is definitely an issue. Hard to know what to do about it except raise awareness. So sad.

No need to keep it tidy. The more threads the better.
I wish there was a 100 of these on the homepage.
