For Sale Q for any Pool.com users

[007]

I just signed up for Pool and bid on two domains. Pool got them both off the drop and now I get to bid I guess. In my auctions listing, I see these two auctions. I see a column that says "My Bids" and "# of Bids." What I want to know is if the "# of Bids" column will show a number if someone else has bid, as right now neither of these auctions shows any bids.

I have not bid yet because I am not sure how much to bid. If the blank column means I have no competition that would be good.

Just wanted to doublecheck. Do any Pool.com users here know what I am talking about? Can you help? Thanks!

Blank column means nothing.
You have no idea if you are alone or with 1000 bidders.

Ok thanks dvdrip. In that case I bet there is no way I will be getting these names. :-(

If your budget is low just bid $60 and pray!

Budget isn't as much of a concern as being screwed. Its hard bidding a whole lot when I have no way of knowing whether or not anyone else is bidding. For all I know they could just say congrats, you outbid everyone, and take me for my full bid amount when I was the only bidder. No way to know. :-(

Most I spent on Pool was to the north of $3k.

This is exactly why quite a few people don't play the game at pool any longer. They've made it too easy for their customers to get the shaft.

Snapnames went the Pool route now too. :-(

Only reason I started using Pool is because the past 10 (I swear, at least 10) of the domains I tried to get with snapnames ended up being picked up by Pool instead. I decided to get the best of both world and the very first 2 names I tried on Pool, Pool got. Now I have to play the bidding game. :-(
