auctions Spend.com auction is crazy!

[ThreeD]

Anyone following that Spend.com auction over at Dropcatch? Two bidders are going at it. Current high bid is $762,500.

PS: The winning bid appeared to be $702,500, but now the auction has been extended for another 24 hours due to technical difficulties.

FYI: here is a similar ongoing thread on this topic: https://www.namepros.com/threads/spend-com.1344257/

Assuming it wasn’t an end user purchase, is that the best use of $702,500 worth of capital while keeping within the domain name industry?

What do other investors think?

Last big auction i followed on DropCatch with end user winning was Medal.com at $185,728 in 2022.

We'll just have to wait and see if it's an end user purchase for this one.

Yeah, it was fun to watch. It'll be interesting to see who the buyer is.

I'm guessing only a handful of investors have the money to spend $700k on a domain and hold it until they can sell it for 7-figures. If it was an investor, I'm wondering where in that 7-figure range the price tag will land. 5x?

I noticed there were some hick-ups in the last 2-3 minutes when I launched the auction in a separate browser tab (API errors showing up in a toaster message). Could be that Sharma tried to add another bid but was unable to due to technical difficulties. Not sure what happened, but the auction seems to continue.

Reseller market is heating up fellas. Looking good for the end user game.

End user battle at that point.

Seems they got triggered by the word Spend in Spend.com
