Looks like Joy_dot_com just sold on AfterNIC for $1200. Is it me or did the buyer get away with murder? :o

It seems that nobody will be drunk because of joy.com, at least tonight

The seller who just got 1200 off of nothing might be getting drunk tonight...

Everyone is right Afternic has too many bogus sales about four months ago EAG.com in the Bazaar for $200 Bogus. AMCY JOY.tv was available like most three letter .tvs because they are $500 A year Regsitration FEE GOod luck though I would love to own a three letter .tv I think a lot Of value in something like USC.tv or any major university known by three letters with major football or basketball that are always on TV, (LSU,BYU, etc...) or SK8.tv

Yeah, you are right. But as I posted in the appraisal forum, I think I got lucky because this name was overlooked by the .TV corp. for some reason: There was no premium name markup! Who knows why(?) But I'm OK with it :tu:

AMCY I love them have posted before three letter .tv has most but riskiest upside potential and on three letter they are content with the $500 I have seen others Not marked up. HOw many years did you reg any kind of discount?

I doubt he'll be getting drunk anytime soon as that $1200 he just conned will end up making him pay back more than that in the long run with legal charges surely in the works against him for fraud. There's going to be hefty penalties for fraud by AfterNIC, the victim, and Joy Technologies, Inc that's probably already in the makings. :talk:

 

[ddrassociate]

Yeah I take back my statement. I made that prior to learning about his fraudulent scheme.

 

[mole]

hmm, I wonder if both Afternic and Sedo are courageous enough to make public these so-called sales that were bogus. It might be too much of a lose of face and doubt in their screening processes, imho.

Doubt it

He's a lucky lucky man.. see $1200 can move into 100,000!! :tu: :p

 

[Matrix1976]

ohhh great this better not be another bogus sale....

 

[Grrilla]

I'm glad to see that a member here, at least, benefited from this bogus deal. That was some nice, fast thinking and a good reg, AmCy. Congrats!

Thanks. I am really looking forward to the response from Great Domains. I requested a listing for joy_dot_tv--as you know, Great Domains is owned by Verisign, as is the .TV corp. Just an added twist to the whole thing. Lovely.

Will there be a chance that such sales be done with private assets and stocks too? Like joy.com for $1200 cash + properties + stocks etc?

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines earlier today. But chances are it's a scam. It seems that AfterNIC's problems with these scammers is getting worse, not better. Now, if they would just implement a screening process to verify domain ownership...

Fact: one 2 occassions, I've had to contact the AfterNIC staff because I couldn't list a domain I had just registered. Reason: someone else had listed the domain on AfterNIC, even though they didn't own it.

The same seller has now sold giveaway..com for $2000 volume.com for $1500
and joy.com $1200 and still has these listed for sale photo.com photo.net and image.com

When i looked yesterday he/she had a huge list of nice names on offer with different whois info.

 

[mole]

The so-called seller is just trying to get payment then dissappear without a trace. In every domain transaction, caveat emptor. Always do your background checks on whois, and preferably whois.sc historical whois records. The middleman ain't going to matter much when s* hits your fan.

 

[Tippy]

As many have mentioned, why in the World Afternic would allow such fake listings is beyond me, I thought these guys ran a Tip-Top Domain site, please tell me it ain't so...
