question Is Mesacinaza on SnapNames a bot?

[YairDD]

I always have minimum 20 auctions on my snapnames dashboard and he bids on all of them. His bids are always last second. Literally when the auction is about to be over, and he does it over and over again until he wins the name.

Its quite frustrating, I feel like I need to massively overpay to outbid him. I think he wins like 70% of auctions.

Anyone knows if its a company?

What's the issue? Aren't people allowed to bid during each 5 min interval? Does it matter if it is a script or a human? Only depends on how long they want to sit there if a human. I sometimes put it up $100 each time, saving my time.

Yes it matters because I can't go use a script, they will ban me, even though I've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars with them. It's the way that the bidding is done that's unethical. And ya know, it's against the market ToS...Snapnames either needs to allow us to all use bots or nobody, but the current situation is bullshit. I can't watch auctions all night and on several occasions, he has extended our head to head auctions 5 mins at a time by min bidding, and in the middle of the night he eventually outbids my proxy, which I would have gone higher had I known it would end where it did. And you ask why don't I just set a proxy for every name? Because I'd lose a shit ton of money on a lot of names. I tried that for a while and then I realized why it's bullshit that he gets to have a script that just min raises every 5 mins. It's fucked up and if you don't have an issue with it, you are part of why the domain industry is filled with so much shady shit.

I was still in it at 2k+ as well, I'm just saying new bidders came in when the auction was ending every single time.

Regarding my other statements it's about my other posts in this thread. I have compiled head to head statistics across thousands of auctions with me and Mesacinaza and it's 10000% a bot. The timeframe between bids is identical every single time. He puts in a bid at the last seconds at min increment to extend it 5 mins even if he isn't the winning bidder. Then he does it again, and again, and again. I've spent hours going back and forth with him to prove a point and run up how much he pays for his domains.

It would be impossible for someone to spend their entire day at the computer bidding at the exact same timestamp on each auction, across several names. The ToS of snapnames bands automated bidding and continues to turn a blind eye to the reports of him. I am fed up and they need to be held accountable.

It's not fair that a bot can keep pushing out auctions for hours into the night and allow other bidders to find the names who previously wouldn't have been in the auction, or to extend the auction long enough that whoever is on the other side will eventually run into other obligations and no longer be able to watch the auction to see if he outbids you (which he will). I have tested this theory on thousands of head to head auctions and can say it's statistically improbable with data that it's a bot/script.

What's wrong with a bot? It feels anti-competitive for an auction site to bad such assistants.

Did you try increase the bid by $200 each time? You'll quickly find the final bid in time to run out to the cinema

Whenever I'm in an auction with mesacinza - I make sure I spend a bunch of their $$$ by just driving up the bid way higher. At least I get a little satisfaction that way.

Punishment bidding should be a national sport.
