Have you ever noticed on GoDaddy

[Domains Ted]

Have you ever noticed when you search any domain on godaddy you find it available. Than add to cart and make payment. Suddenly, for whatever reason, you can't make a payment and all of a sudden when you're looking again at your domain it suddenly shows that it's been taken.

• In 2007, Jonathon Nevett, Vice President of Policy at Network Solutions, stated publicly in reference to DNFR that “the practice certainly exists in the gTLD space.”
• Ironically enough, in 2008 the same Jonathon Nevett confirmed that Network Solutions was, in fact, front running domain names, although they never admitted wrong-doing and claimed it was for the benefit of their customers.
• The ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee has received many complaints over the years and in October, 2007, they released the ICANN Domain Name Front Running advisory.

I always double/triple check domains availability.
It happened many times ( at least to me) that when I appraised the same domain different days , it goes with a different value.
I saw domains appraised over 4k at godaddy , being appraised almost 2k. Couple days after.
