GoDaddy Closeouts Issue

[NameFinest]

Hi folks!
It's already been two times that I've been following a domain at the GoDaddy auction. It goes without any offer, but it doesn't show up as Closeouts. Have you ever experienced the same issue? What could be the problem?

thanks

It might be the owner renewed it

How that happened the second after the auction has been closed?

maybe someone faster than you when the domain goes to closeouts

still slower than someone using the GD API

This is going to be the answer right here, especially since you still have HugeDomains and other API users that are going to be able to snap up closeouts using the API. Will you be able to beat it? Not manually.

Next time you have a domain name that you're interested in, check out what happens to them after the fact to see where they land up. I sometimes bid on the auction instead of waiting for it to closeout, just to draw out other people/API users that were probably interested in the name anyways and to see how much they value paying for them.
