It's no secret that different domain sale venues report sales to domain sale data aggregators like namebio. However, it's not quite clear to me what kind of logic some of them use when deciding which name to report and which not. E.g., namebio can publish a $100 sale and skip a $400 one for two Godaddy expiring domains auctioned the same day. Is that data missing issue actually related to the sale reporter or the publisher?
Also, GoDaddy tends to report sales which are actually not completed yet, as the previous owner can still renew the name within a few days. One of the known recent examples is OrderFlowers.com, which is still listed at namebio as sold, although the sale was reversed. This is not a unique case, I've encountered such situations on my own, when a name I bought was renewed, money returned, but the sale still shown at namebio for quite a time. Are such discrepancies expected to be fixed in some automated or manual way, or such sort of data is deliberately preserved as the one reflecting the market conditions (a sort of domain value index)?
