7L ONE! WORD! DOT COM - I Just bought for $50 BIN!!

[DomainBarracksRob]

Ok guys I'm actully shaking ....atm..this JUST HAPPENED

I was listing my names on Aftneric and like always , I like to view the homepage when I submit them and they show up on "Newly listed homepage"

I noticed a word with a $50 BIN price and said that cant be the correct spelling...nooo wayy.... an it was, I checked twice to make sure, BAM google says 100% correct spelling and definition... I'm not crazy.

I bought and paid for it as fast as I could. I have the receipt and all showing I paid for it. Email from Aftneric says 1-3 business days to finalize .

OBVIOUSLY someone slipped up and missed the zeros, or meant to put in the 'make offer" for that price (NOT MY FAULT) ....MY big question....

Since this a a POWER WORD! 7L .com reg since 1995 and is related /used in one of TOP current niches..... Will Afternic reverse my payment order once they OG owner realizes their mistake and makes a complaint ( Can they legally )?????

it's been renewed up to 2023 btw

I'm shaking from what just happen as I type this.

Big names making silly mistakes is really a matter of concern. The same kind of incident happened to me also not once but several times.. At the end all we got back is what we paid.

Same thing happened to me wasn't a one word but was a good name, paid for it got receipt... the next day get an email saying there was a mistake.

Wow that was exciting. We should thank @Joe Styler for the great job his company is doing.
Keep up the good work afternic

The other side of this scam is people listing thousands of domains they don't own at massive BIN prices. One sells, they use Godaddy private offers to try to get it for less (usually do), and they made themselves a cool $5k to $10k for simply listing the name at Afternic.

Case in point... https://www.afternic.com/sholiviks

Don't turn to Afternic to solve this issue though, they are fully aware.

I bought Nup.com for $300 back about 3 or 4 years ago on GD auctions and it successfully went through and I sold it for $25K on flippa so anything is possible

I once saw inventor(.)com on Afternic's newly listed names for $1800.

I didn't even bother.

Within 45 minutes it was gone.

If it looks like duck, and walks like a duck... it's a duck.
