1617.info was sold at godaddy auction for $20, but finally I only got $5.
Could be. I did not notice it. Just want to have a test for selling domains through the auction. But win $5, minus the buy-in price ~$4, so I gain $1 after some efforts.
Thanks.Congrats, you are 5-buck richer

I think before they list it they give you a link to a calculator seeing what you would get at what sales price. Check it out, so you won't be surprised next time.
Thanks.Obviously not great return for the time spent, but that doesn't always have to be the case
You didn't make a loss and you gained an experience, so not a bad deal IMO. Make sure to look for the calculations next time, or just calculate it yourself if you look up the amount GoDaddy will claim.
Two suggestions:Well, You are lucky you got $5 of your sale. i sold a domain recently at godaddy for $99 and will never get $79 after they deduct their 20% Commission.the reason as per GD explanation they can only transfer money to paypal only in US. i can only get money via Wire transfer for which minimum threshold is $1K or via Cheque which is not suitable for me because the bank will charge approximately the same amount to clear overseas cheque. The mistake is entirely not of GD. So i left the money with them., So you can enjoy a $5 cup of coffee...! Good Luck ...!
Two suggestions:
1. A bank check/cheque can be transferred to a 3rd party almost as cash. Many checks are valid for 180 days which may allow you to use it. Or,
2. Have GoDaddy issue you a store credit. It would seem only fair.
