I tell you what is strange is that today I got a transfer away request to Godaddy for a domain (all my domains are registered at DynaDot). I login to my Afternic and this domain shows pending sale. The price listed for my buy it now and floor are somewhat high, five figures. Did this domain really sell because no one alerted me to anything, or is this more monkey business at Afternic (AN)?
I got a price request from AN on it, on August 10th, and that is when I set the BIN and floor. No communication from AN since.
I took a screen shot of the domain listed as "pending sale" in my portfolio with the BIN and floor prices correctly listed. (Click below image to see it larger.)
I sent a written inquiry in to AN and tried to phone them, but they seem to be closed, so I left a voicemail.
Do domains sell at Afternic without your even being alerted to that they sold? You just get a transfer request? The last times that my domains sold at AN I received a "Congrats _____.com has sold" for the ones listed for fast transfer, or a "______.com has sold" for the ones that were not fast transfer listed, and also sometimes communications from AN brokers.
For this one, today, I have received no notification of sale from AN, no communication whatsoever from AN other than the price request on August 10th. This particular domain is not listed for fast transfer.
I'd love to think that it has sold for my asking price but I am not going to click to "transfer away" to GoDaddy just like that without AN confirmation of sale.
