question GoDaddy auction showing 2024?

[Gpik79]

I see a domain in godaddy expired auction that is expiring april 2024?.....it dropped in closeouts and I bought it from there but still confused..since all auctions I see are renewed by only 1 year not 2

What does that mean..

And would this closeout auction likely be a listing from the owner, not from a drop? Or is the "closeout" term used loosely across multiple marketplaces?

Sorry for the confusion, but this was not a closeout auction at all. It was a Public Auction. In fact there is no closeout auction per se.

I'll leave it at that, except that "Closeout" is primarily a Godaddy classification as far as I know.

If this was the case that would be very odd especially for the old registrant

at least back then

a person can also ask gd to delete their name

I would suggest checking the amount you were billed at checkout (see your email).

There's also a chance the "current" registrant renewed the domain.

Otherwise it's anyone's guess and I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as you got the name.

I was billed for only one year..and no the registrant didn't renew..guess you are right it's probably not a big deal..thanks

I was told a name can end up on expiring if the name was taken from the registrant for other reasons including certain violations. In that case, if the registrant paid for the name for many years, it goes the the new owner.

without sharing the domain you are giving nothing to work with so all we can do is speculate

great name, I can't find anything that explains the expiration

Yeah it's definitely confusing...

 

[Gpik79]

So the term "expiring domains" for this auction is clearly a misnomer. Is it really for "expired and troubled" domains?
And one would question that if a domain is "expired" by a registrar due to an invalid email, if that was the case, then why wouldn't it need to go straight back to the registry. It seems peculiar that a registrar could profit by such a mishap.

Godaddy clearly only care about profit so guess we can never know....

But in my case I think the domain did expire since it was regged on July ...so am guessing godaddy made a mistake and renewed it for 1 year and 9 months..instead of 1 year

I've been seeing this quite a bit in recent months.
I recently picked up a closeout that had an expiry date of 2025.
When it was delivered, the expiry date remained the same.
I thought this was very odd. I paid the renewal, the expiry date should have been 2026, but they didn't apply it.
I actually had to request a refund for the renewal that was paid.
I couldn't believe it.
That being said, when you see something like this and the domain is delivered, make sure you check whether or not they applied the renewal. If not, request the renewal be refunded.

[Gpik79]

I didn't notice it on other domains yet so it's confusing why it has that date...

Out of curiosity, have you checked out any of the other expiring auction names, to see whether they are actually all near expiration. If this domain wasn't set to expire until April 2023, it is puzzling how it ended up on that auction.

This convinces me all the more that the "expiring domains" auctions are not my cup of tea. The mystery continues....

Oh wow thanks will do that

 

[Gpik79]

So the "expiring domain auction" had a listing that was expiring in April 2023, and you were required to extend the renewal to April 2024.

Perhaps now we have to call it the "eventually expiring domains auction?"

The bottom line is that the company's strategy worked, because you bought it.

I still wonder how it happened...guess we might never know

Earlier today I saw an auction where the expiry date was 2030. But it was a public auction.

There's also a chance the "current" registrant renewed the domain.

Perhaps it's not a big deal, but is there any possibility that non-expiring domains are being put up in the expiring auctions intentionally. If interest appears so much higher in that venue, one would wonder if some regular domains now are being placed there?

If you paid for a year of (renewal) registration, shouldn't the whois show year 2025 expiration?

Lol I don't think so....it should be 2023 but since it was 2024 I guess they left it like that

Good for you!
So, if there is such a feeding frenzy for expired domain auctions, why should we be surprised if non-expiring domains are being added to these lists? If so many investors are focused on the "expiring" ones, and that gets them to buy, maybe the auction lists will have many more of these?
