Yikes! There's still a couple of hours left but worldairways.com is now over $65,000!! Guess someone needs to get it bad!

$66,000

I watched this one. No last minute bids or time extensions. My GD interface is set for Canadian dollars and this closed at $90,535 Canadian. This is around $66,500 US. Looks like it was bidder number 10 that got it.

If the buyer uses eBates, he will save $12,000 on the purchase. Pretty significant.

eBates does not offer cash back for bulk registrations if it involves more than 5 registrations. I am not sure if they offer cash back for auction. thanks for tip though.

Why are you talking about bulk registration?
This is a single auction. The buyer can get his 18% return today on eBates. It is the active rate.

Ok then he would get 18% on $5000 only.
When it says "not available on Aftermaker products" What does that mean?

I always get my return when I buy on GD auctions (isn't that aftermarket) and when I buy GD Closeouts.

Yes, now let's see if they pay... or if it's renewed by the owner due to all of the hype

The likelyhood of 2 buyers willing to pay that same range is very rare. I could see 1 buyer, but not 2 creating such a buzz. I put my money on idiots from overseas trying to circumvent the system. If it is a legit sale, great for the industry overall, but end users are not so fast, and loose in auctions for the most part.

I was once awarded an auction, before it was renewed in a similar situation that ended in over $1M+, the owner was in on it, and they were quickly suspended from the platform. Only difference is this is a defunct entity.

If it is an end user, what airline is the buyer?

wow! you were in on a $1M auction? That's all I "heard" from that post. lol

did not know there were people on NP buying at such high prices???

Baller!! so if thee owner was in on it and suspended? do you get the domain for significantly less?

It was on godaddy, the owner of the domain decided to bid on his own expiring domain in order to get a sucker bid to take the bait. They kept bidding every 5 minutes in order to get a sucker to take the bait, they took the auction to $1.25M I believe, in doing so I guess they were hoping to set a history precedence for their domain also. Many blogs picked up the story, this probably goes back 2 years. This is a different situation, as it is a defunct situation.

ahhh a Shill bid? yikes!

Glad they caught it.

but surprised it took that long.

I wonder how many such "situations" happen and go under the "Radar" of the marketplaces? and end up selling for ridiculous prices?

You gotta wonder if it happens right? or are there systems in place like the one that caught this cheat you mentioned that prevent such things for sure?

anyways. Glad this sale isn't one of them. hopefully.

Thanks for the info @wwwweb

Two buyers went at it up to six figures. The winner did not pay, then the second auction reached $22k.

It happens...

Hope that helps,

I bet Godaddy is the shill bidder and knew that bidder 10 had a high bid limit. Remember they have access to bidders bid.

Conspiracy theory!! So never put an over the top offer like 1,000,000 on an auction. Some one can push it way over it's real value.

Godaddy.com 7 days pubic auction have great domains sometimes and they are always set with price reserve that people can place bids like crazy if they know the price reserve until before it meet reserve at 1 or 2 bids. I have seen this sometimes.

For expired domains, KCAI.com is reaching near $9,000 at GD auction, it will end today. It's unbelievable with "ai" domain now. And wpai.com just sold for $9,500 at Sedo
