Just bought an awesome GD BIN auction domain, fake?

[nick3]

Hi everyone,

I just bought an awesome generic .com domain at GoDaddy auction for around 70 euro BIN. I don't want to say the name yet, but this one could be sold for thousands, think even 50k+. So I am probably being scammed..? Of course I have to wait 14 days, but I am already looking forward to a GD email with bad news... Ever happened to anyone of you?

WOW @frostify - incredible flip!

Thank you

Too bad, streetwear would have been a nice pickup at that price

never mind.

Well it's probably very normal. You can now buy capitalism.com for $149 BIN. What's the point of this..?
I just bought an other one which is probably also fake too.

wow, another nice name, you keep finding these gems. I think soon you will find one that is not fake.

Agree, this one is probably fake too

Did you contact GD support to confirm?

Hi @DiogoP

I said "Agree, this one is probably fake too"

I didn't say it was fake. I even suggested that he confirms with GD support to be 100% sure.

Menus.com sold for $70 back in 199X and flipped for 25k...and in 2017 people buying 70Euro domain with 50k value? common now )) It's not the lottery anymore
I think people definition of "generic .com domain" has been stretched a bit....

would have liked to own MENUS.COM
