I'm getting back into domaining after many years The other day I was bidding in the last few minutes of a godaddy expiration auction.
There was a lot of activity but eventually it came down to me and one other guy. Domain was well into xxxx territory at this point.
This guy for about an hour kept on bidding in the last seconds of the 5 minute overruns. It didn't bother me that much as I was just sitting on my ass watching TV. But it did strike me as pretty lame behaviour.
When I've been outbid I just tend to immediately respond - showing I'm serious. Normally set a proxy a couple notches higher so they get the immediate "you've been outbid" message on attempting to raise.
But this guy was constantly waiting for last ten seconds every time.
