they bid in every domain and even low quality name they raise the budget ,and leaving it to closeout you pay $50+20 70 usd ..inguess it time to forget getting names at low xx
They sense the "taste" of certain buyers...DomainMarket is another big dog site with terrible names but are killing it.
Huge list of trademark infringing names just for Google: https://www.domainmarket.com/search?searchInput=google&type=c&search=true
I remember seeing GoogleGods at 30k sometime back and questioning which snakeoil course guru would be crazy enough to pay that and now the price is 80k.
IMO the best strategy is to keep domains out of the GD auction cycle. Buy from other domainers here, or pick up at non GD marketplaces - and HODL good (or even decent) namesthey bid in every domain and even low quality name they raise the budget ,and leaving it to closeout you pay $50+20 70 usd ..inguess it time to forget getting names at low xx
Ok I willAcquire hugedomains.com
I hate them too.
yep thisI'm not playing this game at the moment (maybe I should), but if they are the same company (no idea), then there is no loss in bidding any amount.
Interesting that both YOGAONE, MACBAR and POPANDSUKI are currently at auction with multiple bids over 3k again. Looks like maybe some shilling is going on. I didn't look at who was bidding on each. Could this be the same people that auction the same XYZ shill auctions over and over on Sav?Are they buying then all the domains in Most Active in Godaddy Auctions then?
This is a snapshot from today filtered by most bids - sorry but these are all junky domains (aside from meats.org) yet they have 100s of bids?

They can buy my crappy domains like that if thats the case....
Quite frankly, I'm surprised you even spend the time trying to deal with their auctions. I stopped even looking years ago--except recently to see if domains I dropped were selling. And now, I even decided to avoid contributing any further expiring domains to their efforts (transferring, donating, or giving them away elsewhere instead).Interesting that both YOGAONE, MACBAR and POPANDSUKI are currently at auction with multiple bids over 3k again.

Yes, it's best not try to beat them. Just don't join into the fray, and let HD keep supporting Verisign and the other registries, year after year.HD drop thousands of domains every year, so it does not really mean anything...
gotcha - all just shill bidsInteresting that both YOGAONE, MACBAR and POPANDSUKI are currently at auction with multiple bids over 3k again. Looks like maybe some shilling is going on.

Not only that, I see someone is paying to advertise them on namebio.gotcha - all just shill bids
