Venting: Auction Idiots

[Spade]

Alright, this is a little rant, but alas, Im super annoyed.

So, I wont go into specifics, but I do a lot of my domain shopping at auction. Specifically at TDNAM. I get so annoyed when someone starts bidding up the domain name, well before the end of auction, basically highlighting the domain to the rest of the world.

Dont these people realize that instead of just waiting to the end of auction, they are just putting a magnifying glass on the domain name, thus in turn helping people who may not have noticed it, to start bidding on it?

Ahhhhhhh...... stupidity. Stop bidding, just wait toward the end of auction.


....... I hate people sometimes.

Good luck reaching the original owner to pull the name out of redemption for 500 bucks

(And if that wasn't the last move in your playbook, now you have another)

LoL, yes. That was my last move. But even that is about 1 in 100.

I live in Western Australia. Most auctions finish when I'm asleep. I'd rather make a bid early and lose the auction than lose sleep over it.

Sometimes, I will bid days early because I can't be bothered to get to a computer in between the time of my bid and the end of the auction.

Also, I have in the past won an auction because the person who bidded above me didn't pay up. If I don't expect to win an auction, I might just bid my maximum bid early on and forget about it. 99% of the time, I don't win this way but the rare suprise win is nice.
