There are some bidders that scan the lists of domains with bids and add a bid to each domain, at the last second. Then they can choose to bid on the domain if they want it.
I would do research and check past sales on sites like Namebio.com before bidding on any domains. Also make sure which registrar it is with. Some registrars will keep your domain locked for months after you win the auction ex. Enom. |
You're confusing NameJet for Snapnames and its notorious price-jacking bidder Halvarez. At NameJet, any auction with a single bidder will end up having to pay for the domain, so the carpet-bidding at Snapnames that Halvarez does to auctions that already have bids, has no effect at NameJet.
Namebio mostly reports sales that were announced via RSS feeds, etc Sedo. That's only a small portion of sales.
Lastly, eNom does not lock your domain for months. Only if a pre-released domain is registered at eNom you'd get a 45 day lockdown on ownership change. That's better than GoDaddy's 60 day lock.
If you want access to aged domains (read: NetSol's portfolio) then NameJet is the best option.
