Was just searching on their names here, could be different people but:

"420domains is a known investor."

Another DropCatch auction that went up to $36,000

 

[JB Lions]

nope -removed article-

I saw this - "May 20, 2018 - Lincoln, May 15, 2018, Five Nines is excited to announce the hiring of Gail ... Medical marijuana advocates file ballot initiative with Nebraska ..."

But it could be another article mixed in. It would have made sense with a 420domains bidder but I can't read the whole article.

Don't think that's it. I guess we'll eventually find out. That turned out to be about a "information technology services company"

That other Hemper auction must have lasted awhile also. Didn't read the entire thread.

Just noticed that, big jump.

Current Bid: $32600 USD

420 has a big proxy bid. Looks like the other bidder is tired of the back and forth, trying to figure out what the max bid is.

I don't get this, reported consistently current time, then this.
Suppose the proxy max had been reached and some reset occured, readjusted?
I don't watch like this ever or use api's.

gonines ?

Could be, that would go along with what I poster earlier:

"That turned out to be about a "information technology services company"

gonines:
"Our Vision is to be the leading IT services and consulting partner in Nebraska"

That would fit.

found another one, IT - fiveninesit.ca

Final answer, gonines.com since they own fivenines.net which redirects to that page. They're called Five Nines Technology Group, they have that kind of money.

 

[offthehandle]

Ok, now at 9 hrs. at ~27 seconds left, seems regular, rebid.

An Japanese company into ham radio appears (DX stands for distance, fyi) to have fivenine, so simply more speculation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-S-T_system

"An example RST report for a voice transmission is "59", usually pronounced "five nine" or "five by nine", a report that indicates a perfectly readable and very strong signal."

Saw a bank in Tess that was using the singular. Five Nine.

This kind of name usually works in IT kind of companies in regards to uptime five nines 99.999% efficiency.

Paying that kind of price, I mean someone needs a huge payday to take that risk.

420domainer seems to have deep pockets who are they?

$34k now. Close to 10 hrs.

I stopped paying attention to auctions about a year ago and started looking again. I was wondering you knew. Is the other bidder a regular? I don't pay much attention to specific bidders.

 

[ebaum]

I am just going to end it and bid $100,000. That should put a stop to this lunacy.

Omg I had no idea it’s still going, this is insane, 420 was online for the other auctions closing.

Fastcars is now the highest bidder, I don’t think I have ever seen an auction go this long, I don’t know what to make of it. Are these the only two guys who feel it is worth more?

Any idea who fastcars is?

 

[offthehandle]

This is like watching the grass grow.

Not sure, but for the price he is bidding on this stupid name he could buy a fast car.

Or dropcatches bank account grow.

I have seen many auctions not get paid though, this is serious money especially on the wholesale end.

Let’s hope they still going at it on Monday morning.

Well, they have a huge overhead investment. I couldn't imagine how to automate tax returns on thousands of LLC's let alone the rest of the operation.

Seems they might bump the minimum bids up to $1000. by this point, like live auctions.

And if they don't there will be a new thread. lol.
