OK, I feel like I got screwed here and I want to hear your opinions.
Being an avid boxing fan, I was looking for a decent boxing domain that was for sale. I did a search here at DNF. I came across THIS thread:
http://dnforum.com/showthread.php?t=61618&highlight=boxeando.com
I thought, "Well no way I can afford that, but I am very curious what this guy is asking for it." In the thread, people are throwing around numbers like $xx,xxx and $xxx,xxx. WAY out of my league.
So I go to this guy's parked domain at sedo.com and put a low bid in. A ridiculously low bid of $500. I wanted to see his response and what he would counter with? $50,000? $80,000? It just said "make offer".
I was SHOCKED this morning when he accepted my bid. Ok, here's my problem. Boxeando.com is NOT spanish for boxing like he claimed in the thread, AND like he claimed on his parked page at sedo.com. I can't exactly figure out WHAT it means. It does not show up in a spanish dictionary, but I do see it when I do a search for 'boxeando' on yahoo. I also see that boxing = boxeo, and all the domains boxeo.xxx are taken.
Ok. Yes, I should have done some research. I simply accepted the fact that his domain was as advertised. I haven't contacted sedo yet, but what should I do?
My problem is not so much from the post here at DNF (although I was misled there), but he advertised his domain at sedo where I placed the offer. My offer was based on THAT description. Of course now that my offer was accepted, it took down the description. What now?
Feeling very taken...
