Deadbeat auctions on NameJet

[Theo]

What I'm saying is that the deadbeats are proven to be such. Why are you listing 2nd, 3rd etc.?

Ive got too many to count. There are a ton of dead beats that i know of that arent listed here

 

[Theo]

Wow dnba - this is a lot of namejet "gamers" you got there!

 

[Wire]

There's a problem with recent bids which are likely to cause some havoc.

 

[silentg]

Are these guys really deadbeats or are they hired by NameJet to jack up the prices?

Please lmk if you have other auctions in your history that bidder9999 actually won and didn't default on. I just had an old auction where it was just he and I default and come to me for $69. There's something odd going on and I'm trying to figure this out. PM would be best.

Looks like bidder9999 was a fake account created in the name of Dr. Chris Harnett - read this.

Thanks for the heads up. Some people are disgusting.

Long time, but here's a juicy update:

600.org hits the chopping block for the 3rd time (at least).

Previous deadbeat winners on Namejet were:

domain: 600.org
winner: ccarter3
price: $1,131
date: 2/28/2011

and...

domain: 600.org
winner: 1111111
price: $2,500
date: 2/11/2011

 

[Theo]

The 600.org saga continues, with yet another deadbeat winner. This domain has become a recurring "classic" on Namejet!

domain: 600.org
winner: haweking2008
price: $1,799
date: 5/1/2011

 

[silentg]

Seller registering multiple accounts to pump up the price?

 

[Theo]

600.org is back in auction LOL

This time around the Report shows that it was canceled; NameJet has removed the winning bid.

Don't forget that a lot of domains listed as "Pre-Release" are not really pre-release, they are domain sellers listing the domains for sale without any disclosure that its not really Pre-Release ... check the registration date and you will be surprised how often this is occurring ...

I used to pick up 3-5 domains a month from NameJet. I went almost 2 months from May 27th of 2011 without winning a single bid. This last week, I simply took my valuation and doubled it, and entered that as a bid. Only won 2 bids this week for prices that I think are ridiculously high. Each time, one or two bidders, increased the bid by the minimum bid, kept extending the auctions for hours.

Either amateurs bidding or fake bidders ...

One auction I bid in this week and won had previously been run in April, so I don't know if it was a seller re-listing the domain because they didn't get the price they wanted in April or whether it was a deadbeat bidder. Seems like an awful long delay if it was a deadbeat bidder ... the domain was registered through April 13th, 2012 (this is July 2011).
