FLV.COM = Weird auction @ Sedo

[dotnom]

FLV.com is on auction at sedo

However if you look the bid history you will notice that the buyer 5
bid in 10:04 for 10K Euro and after 6 minutes without any other bid, doubles his offer to 20K Euro

He was searching for the reserve, most likely

You guys think 20K Euro is a legit price for FLV.com? Is there some special meaning? Seems high to me.

FLV stands for Flash Video. Next time just Google it.

youtube, dailymotion, any other types of video sharing sites use the video formate FLV. End users don't know and normally don't care in what format the video's are being shown to them, but for a business to webmaster type of thing. flv.com would be valueable to sale a encoding software to other people or even flash scripts to be able to play the flv video's.

Now, for the 10k then 20k jump. I agree, they could be fishing to find the reserve price on the domain. Lord forbid if someone created a bot to automaticly bid on domain names and this one thinks it's first bid was made by someone else and up bid on it's previous bid. Or it could be two friends of the person is shill bidding on it using the same hi jacked account.

Really, we just don't know what is going on.

If you check again sedo now you will see it back to 3900 Euro
I see sedo erased bids from buyer 5 from bid history

If FLV.COM is going for this much, I wonder how much RAR.COM, ZIP.COM, EXE.COM, TXT.COM, et.al. would sell for if they were for sale.

If I had the funds, I would snap this one up. I predict >~ 100,000 USD

 

[RegisterRants]

I don't accept funds to make appraisals. I think that this is potentially a huge sale.

I can imagine Adobe buying this at that range.

I think the com (Windows) extension would be the most valuable. :P

my ebay account was hacked today, someone listed tons of stuff, but ebay restored my account. I don't think it was the password problem.
I am speculating ebay system has some glitch today.
