Man, I hate all the $10 bids @ enom. Most of the bidders never come through, and the name ends up public auction when I could've just freshregged it :-\

I love enom, I just hate $10 bidders.

the profit margin is still huge, when you sell the domain for $35!

club drop is good, but really needs to be more transparent.. I bid $10 on a domain and it went in to the public auction with only my bid. How fair is that?

Ahhhh... I still remember the $2.00 glory days! $2 + $6.95 was a thing of beauty!

i like the $10 min bid.
i'm spending alot more in enom than at other backorder sites because i like to backorder a lot low profile domains which i like. i will definitely not spending $60 on a low profile domain.

I agree... I lvoe enom's model. I just wish people who were bidding $10 actually bought the names they bid on instead of just placing the bid then never coming through

I don't know whats happening lately , I used to get alot of domains at $10+6.95 but now
like every freaking domains , is just not captured or is captured and their are 10 other bidders at 30+ with me

so aggravating, since the risk is pretty high with the low profile domains and the cost to obtain them is going up :(

i hope someone else would come into the business , just to keep the prices from inflating to the sky.

I thought eNom raised the minimum bid to $30. No?

In any event, I like eNom -- they've gotten some names for me.

Ever wonder if there really are 10 other actual bidders? On a low profile domain?

I have a question. If I bid $30 and another one bids $100, will the name move to the private auction or that person get the name right away after the catch?

If the name gets into the private auction, what is the point of bidding more than $30 at the first place?

bidding higher amounts scares off the low end buyers.. so if you and one other buyer are bidding.. you bid 30 and he bids 100.. it may potentially put off other buyers bidding when they see the 100 bid

So the name will go to private auction, right?
