i dunno. when is the next blue moon?

I’m thinking once or twice a day at most. I so miss the recently viewed domains, I used to check on Dan every few hours.

Pay attention to the last screenshot. I gave them a chance and asked directly if this listing was fake.
Just read their answer.

72k is a lot of money,
Better buy Domaineasy.com.
It s only 1,000

This guy from the chat assures me that these are not fake listings.
He even added the domain to my cart.
By the way, I will get the logo for free.

This looks like they're deliberately trying to pull a fast one.

@GoDaddy needs to fix this immediately with better procedures, listing integrity checks, and adequate staff training.

Forget the GoDaddy Airo™ AI hype for a minute and get to work on this mess.

This guy doesn't even know what Afternic is. He assured me that only the domain owner could list it via GoDaddy auctions
By the way, they have now contacted me via e-mail and are asking to complete the purchase

The activist investors need to hire Elon Musk to create a new DOGE at Godaddy.

It doesn't add up even for the scammer that listed the name. $72,000 USD BIN for a developed 1 word .com doesn't leave much room for frontrunning lol. Seller must be a troll

Well, he/she should be permanently banned anyway. If GoDaddy are not going to make any changes even now, at least punish such trolls/scammers etc.

Now regarding Dom...Easy.
Last week someone already reported (sorry I don't remember who) that the domain illegaly listed on Afternic.
Then GoDaddy "removed" this listing, and now it's listed again.
Pay attention to what is marked in red. 20 days.
So the domain is listed at least 70 days.
That is, they (GD) did not remove this listing from the scammer/troll's account.
