I would guess but I have not researched it, that last year the domain got renewed, Namebio once they list a domain as sold does not go back and remove for renewals unless someone contacts
@Michael I try to do that when I see one so Michael can make an edit.
The reason the dates are exactly the same is that the names don't actually drop, so when you win an auction the expiration date is the same as it was before. And because GoDaddy's drop cycle doesn't change, if you don't renew your auction win the next year the auction will close on the exact same day.
It isn't an indicator that the name was renewed and the first auction invalidated, or an indicator that the subsequent auction is likely to be renewed. Although logically you would assume that if someone just paid four figures for a domain that they aren't going to drop it in less than a year. But it happens. I don't review enough of them manually to say which scenario is more likely though.
The reason I don't review them is clear from WorldAirways.com. It went under privacy immediately after the original auction so no way to know if it was redeemed or the auction completed. The name servers had been on paetec.net since 2011 and never returned to them after the initial auction, so you could argue that the first auction likely completed. But again, no way to know with any level of certainty.
And privacy continued after the second auction with no change to the name servers, so literally no way to know what happened there. You may assume it was renewed, but that is just a guess since maybe the new buyer just hasn't set up a site yet and had a reason to change the name servers, and I don't want to remove potentially valuable data on a guess. A lot of auctions go down like this on GoDaddy.
Manually reviewing the data for so many auctions would be impossible. And doing it programmatically would be inaccurate. Someone could renew it and change the WHOIS info, many times the reason it expired is because the info wasn't kept up to date. That would look like a successful auction (i.e. changing hands) when it really wasn't. Or maybe the auction was successful but the WHOIS doesn't change, or someone intentionally keeps the WHOIS the same so we'd automatically delete the record.
I did a long post about this issue a while back and discussed some of these issues. Also the cost of WHOIS history API calls to programmatically "verify" these sales would be more than NameBio earns because of the high volume (remember we're recording all GoDaddy results $12+). All that cost and we still would have no clue on half the auctions, and make many wrong calls on what to keep or what to remove. We'd probably only be able to accurately verify a quarter of the results or less, we'd still have sales that didn't actually complete in our database, we might remove sales that did actually complete. Just not worth the effort or expense.
So yea, it's a pretty crappy situation. But GoDaddy is too big and important of a venue to have no data on, so it is kind of something we just have to cope with. Don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If you're going to use a GoDaddy record as a comp in a purchase decision or sale, check WHOIS history first and try to figure out if it actually closed. If you find one that you're pretty sure didn't, shoot us an email, it just takes a second. Or better yet if you win an auction and it gets renewed on you, forward the email to us so we can remove the record. That alone would go a long way in helping to keep the data clean.
