I just won a domain in a Sedo auction...it from $4000 all the way to $6300. My proxy max price was $6500...

Could this have been rigged? It was very strange...it kept getting extended 10 minutes because a new bid in the last 3 minutes was always placed, at exactly the same time, and only by $200 more dollars.

It is strange that someone would keep waiting exactly 7 minutes and bidding me $200, and then stop right before my max bid. Anybody else have similar experience? It's possible that Sedo did this internally. This company has a reputation for being unloyal and dishonest.

Maybe SEDO has new ownership and they are &^%$ing everyone left and right however they can.
See you at the barber shop for a shave and a haircut!
