As of now iGen.com is at 100,000 with about an hour to go. It is a very nice VCVC - "The Internet Generation." I actually really wanted to develop it. It was at $2100 earlier today and I thought I would definitely be getting it for $6k! Oh well, it's good for the industry as a whole.

And now it has already reached $100,000 again... With the same two top bidders, if I remember correctly. What a joke.

basically yes, although after contacting netsol they said dont worry you will get it.
i am wary to do a chargeback as canty even see what card was used as they closed account for some unknown reason. never bid on any names , i won one outrught. my card paid. i could handle a glitch, but when opening another account their support dont even get back then. they are scum
i will soon, when i have time not dealing with other stuff, chase them down again and make an official complaint
i would advise people not to use netsol or namejet, they are scam artists with zero support.
you will hit problems. you';ve been warned

did people take screenshots of the first one?
make sure you take them of this one. if we decide to make official complaints about these pricks , these may help
believe it not i just signed up to NJ last week. I realy want to see how these characters work their auctions first hand.
I am starting to see names sell for much less that in previous months, yet the suspect bidding still continues.
I believe these NJ cronies are now being exposed for what they are. Arnie just makes me even more sure im right.

I believe the only way we can stop people bidding up a domain is getting them to put there money where there mouth is.
I believe that you could set up an escrow style system where if you are bidding on a premium domain you must transfer the funds to cover your bid.
If you win then the funds come out of the escrow account when the domain is transferred and if you lose the funds are returned.
I think all serious domainers and bidders would use this as long as the companies i.e. Snapnames / Namejet etc didnt benefit from interest of funds in holding accounts etc.
Just my thoughts on how I would tackle it.

I think it's clear that all aftermarket businesses can put in a format that CAN work, BUT each system blocks somebody in some way. That somebody "could" be a real buyer.robfer said:
I think I made up a system that would work and I just wrote about it on my blog. I think the Real Bidders will enjoy the Reward system and is fair for a One Time bidder or an every day user.

There is just too much greed with many auction houses. Anything over 10% commission is ridiculous IMO. Charging 20% is a joke. Manipulating auctions also is sheer greed.
I have my own ideas on what would be a success, it would not surprise me if a big player came into the domain auction/selling market and shook things up.

Was the other bidder in the original auction?
Spade said:
Right now I am comparing both auctions - the one that ended on Nov 6 and the one currently running as of Nov 19th.
During the first auction a bidder by the name of lauritah2g "won" for 100,100. The runner up bidder was jcg for 100,000. From $3500 to the end the bidding was was between those two bidders.
Turning the clock a few weeks later jcg is in the lead with 100,000. This time however a bidder by the name of edwardh2g was the sole bidder from 7100 and on. Edwardh2g only bid up to $527 during the first auction.
Notice the similarity in bidding alias:
Edwardh2g vs. lauritah2g
Now I can tell you what h2o stands for but h2g... not a bloody clue. Either way seems fishy and the two bidders are no doubt affiliated with each other. When a bidder does not pay, NJ bans them from that specific auction.
By the way I have a feeling jcg is affiliated with jcg,com which in that case makes sense.
The name did eventually change hands if you look at the Whois. Strange thing is the email has the term Edwardh2g. He was the second place winner for 99,000. Looks like namejet had some sense knocked into them and just awarded the second place winner with the domain.

So the h2g people just kept winning and not paying until people lost track of it and they won it cheap? Pretty messed up.
