So I have an personal issue with the way that GoDaddy displays the "Expired Auction" appraisals. If you notice the bidding activity/sales for these "Expired Auctions" far exceeds those of "Personal Auctions" on the platform. Some of the "Expired Auction" names are horrible but still have a tremendous amount of bids. They only allow an appraisal next to the "Expired Auctions" and do not allow the same appraisals to be displayed on the "Private Auctions". Personally I feel this puts the "Private Auctions" at a disadvantage on bidding and potential profits. They are clearly putting the "Expired Auctions" ahead of the "Private Auctions" which I would assume they personally profiting. Now I am no legal expert but this seems very unethical? I reached out to GoDaddy and this is the response I received:
Hello,
Expired auctions recently started showing appraisals on expired auctions as a test. The development team is working on a complete rebuild of the platform, which should include showing appraised value of domains for all auctions. As you are only the second person I have seen in the four months we have been showing appraisals ask about this, I believe that this is not a high priority in the overall scope of the auctions platform. We hope to have the rebuild completed in the fall or winter of this year.

Anyone else have this same issue or thoughts?
