GoDaddy Expiry Domain Auction Way to Know Price and Demand

[slaich]

Recently, I was bidding on one of the Expired Domain Name on Godaddy Auctions. I liked the name a lot and done with all the home work before placing up the bids.

Few days were left of that Domain, thought going to investor app to check recent bids. Suddenly, the auction of that domain wasn't there. Got to know from Godaddy that Owner renewed the domain (I don't know how much fees owner has to pay to renew pending delete domain).

This is the good way of getting the value of Domain in wholesale market or may be 2-3 end users might be present in auction to buy the domain and auction price would go high naturally. Also, this way Domain Owner will get insights how much demand is present of his Domain.

I don't like the way this system works. Once, domain gets into the Auction, the renewal has to be irreversible. After-all the auction money goes to Godaddy and its their revenue.

What are your views folks?

You just figured out it’s complicated?

It’s why i dont use Godaddy, especially, to sell.

Keep life easy. They always make it harder.

Registrar was Godaddy itself and domain caught by it.

Seems seller want to see its domain value and its demand. Happened with you before Samer?

It does Johnn. When you get to know Domain owner had eye on your bids which is not licit and also you liked that Domain cos I was highest bidder too.

Once an expired domain receives a bid, its automatically removed from your account and theres no way to get it back unless you win the auction. Its happened to me before.

So, the question is, there were more than 20 bids active on that Expiry Domain Auction and how come that domain auction suddenly got disappeared?

Does Owner Bribed GD to get back the Domain?

According to ICANN rules the domain can be renewed/transferred by its registrant up to 45 days.
So if it wasn't sent into Redemption period - this right remains...
Auction is just 2ndary story for others.

Why GD start the auction until it is under 45 days where the Owner still has chance to renew the domain?

I feel like person came back from Death and says I am still there for my Domain Guys. Lol.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Because auctions are NOT possible in the Redemption period.
That's why they are started within Autorenew Grace Period.

And the same happens on Dynadot and with another registrars.
The only one ICANN rules for all.

+ even in the Redemption period (next 30 days after AGP) current registrant keeps the rights to restore the domain by paying penalty (high $xx - $1xx).
