Shoppers.com drops. Why?

[DotWeekly]

I have been watching Shoppers.com as it's a Sweet domain. The domain was owned by Shoppers, Inc. and has been since 1998.

A domain of this quality normally would go threw NameJet.com since the domain was with NetSol but it went Pending Delete, but still showed it would not expire until Oct 2008 as NetSol does with all there expired domains.

The Pending Delete surprised me, but also that it was not on NameJet.com until it went pending delete.

I think this domain was dropped due to Invalid Whois, as no valid email address was applied, nor was a phone number.

I wrote about in my blog with a little more info. (see sig).

Current bid is $26,000 with well over 2 days and 15 hours to go. I see a six figure sale coming here!

I'm sure they want it back. It should go for 6 figures.
Someone is going to have a bad Monday.

I can imagine a million bucks on this. Simple one of the strongest names you'll ever find

 

[netklick]

Pool got it and it is currently at $26,000 and there are lots of hungry bidders. It will easily go for 6 figures.

 

[Chapel]

at 27000 now with 35 bids

i think it'll go for $85,000

That's a big wide stretch. Not going to happen.

I think this domain was dropped due to Invalid Whois, as no valid email address was applied, nor was a phone number.

The basic things need to be reminded over and over again.

Current Bid: $38,000
Time Remaining: 1 Day, 23 Hours.

Another side note of another auction that I am in on at Pool, is Video.us which is currently at $13,500 with one day to go. Addly enough, that domain sold not all that long ago for $75,000 (3-27-2007 at Afternic). Guess why that one was dropped as well.... Invalid Whois, but it does seem the .us registry is much more strick when it comes to valid whois.

Well, these are two very costly mistakes, so take a couple minutes and check your domains, so something like this does not happen to you.

$46000. with 1 day 17 hrs left 44 bids


remember my guess is still $85000.

 

[Langfhir]

Now at $53,000 with 21H left

Whoever picks this up under $100k will sure get a sweet deal.

 

[Langfhir]

At $61,000 now, 12H to go

 

[DotWeekly]

Only 3 hours to go....... So tempted to bid on this! Current bid price $64,000 on 55 bids. This will go over $100K.

 

[DotWeekly]

$166,000

I did a play by play on the bidding on my blog... http://www.dotweekly.com/2008/02/05/shopperscom-closes-at-auction-cracks-6-figure-mark/#more-73

 

[sashas]

its a steal at 166k.

This can be turned into a multi million site within months

In a few years time, this name should bring back multiples for the one who bought this.
