Deadbeat auctions on NameJet

[Theo]

Here's another "gem" of a deadbeat bidder on NameJet:

domain: safely.com
winner: homer
price: $4,000
date: 1/21/2009

The domain is back on auction and - you guessed it - bidder #2 is now the top bidder.

 

[Theo]

As expected, the #2 high bidder contacted NameJet and were removed. Now bidder #3 is on top, with a $2,930 bid.

This is beyond ridiculous.

 

[Theo]

It makes sense: when the deadbeat #1 bidder is removed for non-payment, the subsequent "winners" should have no obligation towards their original bids. That's why NameJet needs to have a 1-strike policy and ban repeat offenders.

 

[theinvestor]

What's ridiculous is the fact these members aren't banned. The high bidders subsequently should have no obligation to pay and i don't blame them for not paying.

 

[Theo]

Exactly. I am only listing deadbeat winners here.

Here's another deadbeat guy:

winner: ryunglim7

...and another one, a sale reported already on DNJournal has a deadbeat buyer as it's back on auction:

domain: keywest.net
winner: bigfish
price: $14,100
date: 1/23/2009

 

[Sonny Banks]

We need more volunteers to watch for deadbeat NameJet winners.

BTW I don't seem to receive notifications for these second runs. Is it just me ?

 

[Theo]

Kate, what's up with the fuzzy bunny and the Norwegian flag?

I don't get notifications either, but most of the time the domains end up in my active auctions again - if I had participated in the first place, which is the case with all these reports here.

Acro
Do you have a list somewhere of all these bidders ?
Thanks

 

[Theo]

doc, I have a list of the auctions that I participated, someone else won them and then they were repeated as that person didn't make payment. That's how I know, when I am included for a second round of auctions.

And guess what: keywest.net didn't get paid for the 2nd time now! It's back on auction for the 3rd time.

domain: keywest.net
winner: csm
price: $13,800
date: 2/9/2009

I now saved last 6 days of winners too, now this group round Enom is so dirty I could believe they are bumping on their own (i.e. Snapanmes or Pool I would not believe that but these I would)

 

[Theo]

There is no other way to keep track of these things but to record and observe. Any user that appears twice on the deadbeat list should be suspicious!

 

[Raider]

I think these deadbeats are more concerned about "Winning" :first: than they are about their credit card limit or bank balance.

 

[Focus]

It's because they only take wire (over 5k)...and have the strict 7 day pay period. I know I paid for all the ones I won this month, and gladly at that.
