no more bumps, please.

no more bumps, please.

IT wt: You must be joking.

Here is someone trying to professionally sell a good name through auction on DNF only
Surely this activity should be encouraged rather than all the posts about everything under the sun that is allowed in other threads. e.g. This is my nth post etc Or call this number now etc
Besides it wasn't even a bump
The statement "All pms replied to is helpful"
A bump of an auction every 24 hours seems quite reasonable to me
I am still considering my bid and would hope to be reminded of this auction daily until it ends
The current bid is $500 so $505 might win it
Is that correct?

Hi JoeMart,

Indeed, as there is no reserve, $505 would win it if the auction were to end at this moment. I did give this a lot of thought before putting it up for sale, and am serious about selling this great domain as I am thinning down my collection.

... and, thank you for your support.

Message to all prospective bidders:

Some of you may have realised that I had previously turned down an offer on this domain at Afternic, for the sum of $1000. And yet I have a BIN now on DNForum at $800. Why? In large part because I just upgraded to exclusive membership and wanted to bring some added excitement to this forum. My portfolio partner agreed to my suggested sale only after some persuasion.

However, the unfriendly and (IMHO) unwarranted moderation earlier in this auction thread, as well as the fruitless ongoing discussion of this in the Suggestion forum, are biting at my initial motivation and intention. I am also losing ground against my partner who just found another reason to stop the sale. Thus, I have decided to postpone this auction until further notice.

I know I have to announce this sooner rather than later, as it would be rude and unfair if I were to stop this at the last hour. Since there are still more than four days to go, I believe that this is not unreasonable. We may put this up for sale at a fixed price in the Sales forum, but that would be after some further discussion. If anybody really feels this to be unfair, or unethical, or wishes to close a deal, please PM me directly.

I hope that this post will not be considered a "bumping" post, and that new relevant information has been added. Of course, a moderator has the right to close it as well.

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience unintentionally caused.
