For Sale Clemzonguy's ULTSEARCH DB came in handy already!

[Digital Address]

Was doing my research with the new database and noticed that Mr. Yun Ye liked "voyeur." Well, voyeurnetworks.com would not normally come up on my radar, but it was dropping yesterday! And someone had the snap, the godaddy, and left a proxy bid at NW of $116. (FYI: After 3: PM (EST) if NW DID NOT CATCH the name, you can go and bid to your hearts content until you are the successful bidder. Then you will know what the HIGHEST proxy bid was! Nothing to fear--NW did not get the name! And if they did, you could not bid on it! Only problem is that it certainly does skew the final results!) Anywho, Mr. Ye did not get it! But Mr. Michael Berkens of Worldwide Media did! (He owns 30,000+ domains @ MostWantedDomains.com and he already had quite a few "voyeur" names.)

Not bad Aaron, not bad at all!

Wm,

Three interesting pieces of info.

And, I would have never thought to check the max. bid.

 

[clemzonguy]

you can go and bid to your hearts content until you are the successful bidder.

So what happens if it drops next year? Are you left holding the bag

I'm sure some other quality names he owns will drop in the coming future simply b/c they do not have enough traffic to merit keeping. His business model is not site development or domain reselling (at the level of Buydomains at least). End-users and developers don't care about traffic. It's always good to know the landscape ahead of you.

Perfect example today: Went to NW at approx. 3:30 PM (EST) and placed a $1,000.00 bid on WorldRestaurant.com--Mr. Ye should have been very interested in this one!--which had stopped at $48.00 at 1:00. I was now the high bidder which told me that NW did not catch the name! What was the proxy? $201.00 How do I know? Because my bid was successful at $202.00! It works everytime the name has not been grabbed by NW! (A few weeks ago, I couldn't get to a computer in time and the high bid at NW on a name I wanted badly was just $25.00! I knew BD wanted it too. After 3:00, I went back to see if I could get their proxy. I did. It was $555.00 and I was the new high bidder at $556.00. It's still listed in my account! And BD got the name via a snap!) I learned two things from this exercise: Leave a reasonable proxy on a name you really want if you will not be able to bid at the last moment and check the proxies left by others on everything you did bid on!

Yes proxy was $201

Baron, think the bidding on voyeurnetworks.com would have any impact on the value of voyeur.us ?

Are those $10,000 price tags for all his names for real? How much does he really sell them for?

 

[actnow]

The problem with checking the maximum bid of names at NW is that you don't know if the bid you are checking was the original one or the one someone else was checking.

 

[dvdrip]

And when you are checking the max bid you get stuck with the domain in your high bid list forever!

Reasonable assumption. But if only one person had "checked" and you top his "new" high bid, the difference would only be $2. (His $1. and yours!) Still close enough to the original highest proxy! The problem arises if you have hundreds of us checking. Then it's completely flawed.

I really don't know! Have been quoted on quite a few adult names that he had on PPC (?) with Viper that were not listed on his site. Very high prices but they must produce very high traffic! Some really GREAT names!

 

[dvdrip]

Well let's say your winning bid is $100 and you have a max bid of $500. Every time I increace my bid by 1$ the winning bid goes up $1. I will not be doing this 400 times! I will just bid $1000 and see your max bid!

Now I know why NW bids are very high.

And I don't want to create junk on my purchase list.

 

[clemzonguy]

And I don't want to create junk on my purchase list.

Especially when they won't hesitate to charge your credit card for bogus things like pyshopath.net

 

[HeavyLifting]

another reason not to articifially inflate the NW bids is that people use them as justification for pricing, or bidding on other systems like pool.com. if someone sees a huge bid over at NW, they are likely to bid the domain way up at pool.com. that hurts all of us.

 

[clemzonguy]

that hurts all of us.

What hurts us is POOL. }:>

Correct, correct, correct, and correct!

Does your credit card get hit with any charges for those test bids next year if the name drops? Might NW do the same thing as Snap and try to convert those bids to wls slots and charge your credit card if that goes thru?
