Am I missing something ? Tdnam auction

[rentdn]

Domain Name Traffic # Bids Price Time Left
macmasterskully.com 33 16 Bid $6,505 8D 6

:?:

Whats going on here ?? 6505$ for a domain which deos not worth even 60$ ?? and still 8 days to go.

Shows PR8 , but it is fake , am I missing something ??

 

[Jarrall]

My only guess is the PR8 and a fair amount of backlinks.

 

[rentdn]

My guess was same , but after checking it shows few backlinks

and PR is completely fake it belongs to www.tuaw.com

 

[draggar]

I never trust traffic or PR when I buy domains - it looks like a lot of people still do.

 

[stewie]

you can't trust those stats ... :frusty:

 

[rentdn]

I'm not trusting , i'm tempted to think that this is just shill-bidding case

Actually it is fake too , because Google returning the results of tuaw.com

results are same , but on results page you're able to find the link only for tuaw.com and not for macmasterskully.com

try and you'll see

I have no doubt that the links are tied to something else.

Very easy to manipulate.

This is how TDNAM makes their big bucks - by offering up all these little icons to draw attention.

I will say that some names have legitimately earned their XXXX and XX,XXX selling prices.

I only see two - Bidder#2 dropped out at $51.

 

[rentdn]

There is 2 explanations for such bidding war.

1. One Fake domain and 2 rich noobs
2. Something fishy , which I can't understand

 

[draggar]

Bidder #1 seems to up his bid but bidder #3 seems to have a high bid set up already.
