Thanks for the offer but I’m busy enough.

However, having said that there are people who watch this auctions, including myself and you can ask the GM of NameJet.com, I let him know when I see something that does not look right.

It’s everyone’s job who bids in these auctions to look for irregularities and report them.

You should shart a “Who did it” post for each of these big name auctions to figure out who prematurely inflated the price just to show us how tough they are.

Question since you track this stuff closely, how often do you see the bidder that makes these posture bids actually win the auction in the end?

The next question that springs to mind is perhaps it is Namejet themselves putting in these bids?

MHB, Yea I don’t know why anyone does more than the $69. My best guess, I think its posturing. In this case I figured since you’ve already made the call for $25k for the domain there would be no harm in a mere $6666 bid. I’m glad you are smarter than that.

There is no easy way to determine it but I think 175 bidders has to be in the top ten in quantity on Namejet.

Plus, it hasn’t hit the pre-auction page.

Maybe, it will go over 300 bidders ???

90% of them will be watchers, not bidders.

“I started the 666 or 6666 kind of bids but many have copied since.”

I have bid that amount hundreds of times at Snapnames over the years.

It is just my devilish nature.
