Complete Traffic Auction Results 2/20/08

[cadillac880]

Billbo,

For some reason it appears you feel I have borrowed the auction information from your thread? The sales and the information in this thread is public information that is readily available on the net. I also watched the entire auction online. Do a search for moniker auction in google news and you can find this information. Google news is my source for the information not your thread! Please stop sending me pms with vulgar language that questions my character after you added a link to your thread in this thread!

Thanks!

Cad.

Here is your pm to me for all to see:

Title: Bullshitter

Cad,

Your name is appropriate!

What, at most 10 minutes after copying the info from my post and just rearranging in xl, deleting, doing a sort A-Z, hey presto!

I would not have minded at all if you had referenced me, but now we know your character!

Bill

Here is your link in my thread to your thread:

In actual fact only 1/3 of domains were bought. All high end names over $1m didn't even reach their reserve. (See full results here, including bids on domains not reaching reserve prices.)

What is your problem? Your giving yourself way to much credit for information that is readily available in the media if you just look for it. I'm not even sure what you want a pat on the back for something? Want an example go here: http://domainnamewire.com/2008/02/21...ls-for-850000/

WeBuyThe.com why not ask Cadillac880?

After all it that would then be the first time he would have done so! Isn't that right Cadillac!


As per my PM to you, please reference the source of all your information in the OP!

[Bill Roy]

So Google news is your source of information is it!

Well strange, as according to you, Google news and you missed the highest bids on exactly the same 'passed domains' as I did. Now check the times of the posts! I wonder who copied.

You ignored my PM until I posted in your thread, obviously wanting to make others feel you had sat up recording all the information (and of course missing exactly the same information I did), you then did not refence it to anyone implying it was your work and encouraged people to donate to you.

Times of posts are wonderful, they show who, when, and where posted the information.

I rest my case.

Edit addition.

Statistically there is one chance in 3,545,126,770 that you would have missed the same results, and only the same results, as me as mentioned above.

Ah, just realised a mistake, it is actually double that, so over 7 billion to 1 are the odds!

Guys please note:

While your contributions are appreciated, I have edited original post to remove the solicitation for donations.

Whenever you post "Domain News" here, it should not be for payment, reward or to gain notoriety.

It should come from the "heart", based solely on your desire to contribute to the community.

Thanks

Acroplex,

I contacted Moniker, for the auction the domains don't have to be regged at Moniker

Thanks

another words lets say X domain resevere is 1 milliion.. the will bid it up to 950K, and then of couse it passes. This practice can only hurt sellers in the long run.

This is common for Traffic auctions. Didn't happen at all at Domain Fest.

I completely agree that "bidding up on behalf of the seller" is wrong and deceiving

you put the reserve price, bidding starts from there, period
domainfest was amazing because of this!

[cadillac880]

Let me ask, which auction brought in more and higher sales? Which generally spends more money in advertising?

Other genuine bidders create a "market value" that give confidence to the next bidder to bid higher. You don't get that same confidence to bid higher when 'bidding on behalf of the seller' is practiced.............unless you don't understand what 'bidding on behalf of the seller' means. I was surprised the Oversee allowed it to happen.

I have no idea, I'm guessing you know the answers?
I'm actually quite curious to know

Hi,

I am a little confused about this auction. Are any bids that are less than the reserve genuine, since they will all be rejected? In other words, could anyone just throw out any number knowing that it will be rejected? Thanks.

Domainfest was MUCH better run in my opinion. Not only did they have min bidding which eliminated the need for shill bidding (which hurts everyone in the domain community), but the auctioneer at domainfest was superb. The high energy that was displayed at domainfest was hugley contrasted with this latest traffic auction. I couldn't watch the whole auction online.. it was torture after a while.

It seems rather odd that meaningless bids are allowed. What's the point? That bid for look.com had no meaning, based upon my understanding of the process.

Bidding on behalf of the seller is absolute bullshit

Who knows? Maybe they're genuine and maybe they're not. The official line seems to be that all bids are 'legitimate'. Makes me laugh the way the auctioneer interrupts his own bid with another bid. Not sure who he thinks he's trying to fool

[sashas]

Actually, if I knew the reserve was $500,000, I could very well make a bid of $499,000, and make everyone who was watching (online, in person) believe that the auction was a great success and that domain prices keep on increasing. Pretty much every domain got bids, but most fell just short of the reserve. Look.com went up till 4.5 (or 4.0 mil?) million for a 5 million reserve. People who saw the 4.5 million bid thought that there were some serious buyers, but the bids unfortunately fell just short of the reserve.


I really don't see why a domainer would pay the kind of exorbitant prices for a domain only to set up a parking page on it. If you have a business plan based around it, then thats a completely different issue.

Thanks for the info.

[denny007]

Exactly, I do not understand reserve in range ie $100K~$250K, because it cause a lot of time wasted with research. If I knew some domain is ie $120K I would bid but if it was $240K it would be too much. So I make research in case it is $120K or less to find out later that the reserve is too high = time wasted.
