I am looking at Namejet and following some auctions and not sure I understand what I am seeing so I am looking for help. Here is an example of a listing I was looking at for the domain shoegeek.com


http://www.namejet.com/Pages/Auctions/BackorderDetails.aspx?domainname=shoegeek.com&cat=

High Bid:$121 USD Reserve AuctionClosing Time: <input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_hdnEndDate" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$hdnEndDate" value="Jan. 1, 2013 8:00 PM" type="hidden">
Type: Pre-Release
Your Last Bid: $0 USD
Bid History: 72 bids

Does this mean that the high bidder now owns the domain for $121?

If so, I am a little puzzled because there were 72 bids or bidders and it started with an opening bid of $59 or $69. If there are so many bidders, why did it go for just $121? When I first looked at the listing, I assumed that the domain would sell for much more based on the number of bidders who signed up. Can you elaborate on this for me, please?

You need to check if the reserve was met. The high bidder may not win the domain otherwise.

Right now I am the sole bidder in an auction at NJ, having placed the only backorder. The reserve is not met, but the amount/range is undisclosed. Annoying.
I don't feel like I am going to increase my bid.

No, will start a 3 days private auction (72 people) and the highest bid so far is $121.
The name could sell for much more.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. If the opening bid is $69 and the mere fact that two or more people are placing a backorder on the domain....what is the point of even bidding at all let alone up to $121?

If noone bids higher, the name will go to the bidder with $121 bid. (if there is no a reserve price)
