Country: | I will say 'rigged' How can you explain two bidders (no. 12 and 13) coming in when the auction restarts (there were only 11 bidders in the original auction) and driving up the prices to 611k which Sedo KNEW was the original winner's proxy? Maybe it was Sedo's marketing, but its just too convenient to find buyers with 600k sitting around in cash within the span of a few hours, buyers who hadn't even bothered to bid in the original auction suddenly having so much interest in the name. I would love to see Sedo sued on this and have the facts come out clean.

Country: | What about the loooooong last "minute" with invest.com hovering around the $1 million mark? ![]() That d*ckhead actually still bids on every Snapnames domain, then rides the auction up a few notches. Took my $80 bid for Athenian.info to $150.

All those championing the auction here can't really explain how bidders no. 12 and 13 suddenly joined the auction when it restarted and drove prices up to 611k - the original winners' proxy. Give me a good enough answer to that, and I'll keep quiet. And don't tell me that bidders 12 and 13 were just speculators. Heck, if they were speculators, where were they in the original auction? Its easy to find rich speculators within 2 hours, isn't it?

Country: | Whether it deserves it or not, that's irrelevant. Sedo's auction of invest.com went into extra time like a soccer game, without any bids. It's ridiculous that numbers seem to not matter and one (1) minute is extended to almost ten. The entire online auction game reeks of byzantine scenarios.

Country: | The last thing Sedo will want is to be hauled up in front of an American court, every little last detail of their business will be disected for the whole industry to see. Can you imagine if you are a Sedo witness and you are asked a series of questions like: 'Have you ever known an event or events where Sedo acted unethically in your experience?' 'Have you, or to your knowledge, any other employee or member of the Sedo company deliberately misled someone who parks their domains at Sedo about the earnings on their domains?' 'Is there in your experience at any time been occassion when emails from clients have purposfully not been replied to?' I mean the list just goes on and on. Also of course Sedo would have to provide paper copies of financial dealings, etc.. Now how long do you think it would take for copies or links to copies to appear on here and other forums? This is going to crucify Sedo, whilst they beat up the small fry (like me) they could get away with it in reality with impunity, but their mistake was treating the big guys (those with money) with the same contempt they treated the smaller guys. Of course the longer it goes on the more harm it is also doing Sedo's reputation in the parking business as a whole. Even now Sedo's prestige will have been harmed and they will not have the same power as before because hanging over their heads is the possibility of a catastrophic civil case against them. |

Country: | I agree.. If it is indeed wrong doing then that is nothing short of fraud. I have said it before and I will keep saying it till it happens. Parking Programs and Online Auctions of this value need to be audited by a third party. I have noted on some of my bids that a bidder comes in the last minute and bids $100 short of my maximum proxy bid even on my obscure amounts and then they never bid again.

Country: | Absolutely! There is a black cloud of non transparency hanging over the internet right now, and it starts at the top with Google. Parking programs, AdSense and YPN, drop auctions, aftermarket auctions... I honestly feel if we could all see behind the curtain, we would be shocked by the level of fraud and corruption. I certainly hope change is around the corner.

I'm truly flattered by your obsession with me. Poke, as long as dotMobi smear merchants and anti-mobi propogandists like yourself troll, I will continue to refute, and post news & opines with respect to the dotMobi namespace. You just gonna have to learn to get used to the good dotMobi news. If not, you are welcome to change the channel or piss & moan about .mobi elsewhere. Remember folks, success breeds critics & envy. Welcome it. Cheers! Michael
