Each domainer should get the detailed bidding information, for each auction they had a bid, even if it was just an opening bid, that Halvarez was in. I want to see all of these as well. I also agree there is more to be compensated that snapnames.com is offering Rob

I believe I have a right to see that and potentially recover those domains for which he outbid me. As you are offering refunds for money spent due to his actions, Snapnames should also be offering domains lost to Halvarez to the under bidder. Both actions are justified compensation.

Dishonesty / Greed — Deserves the BIG GUNS…

Wonder how many will jump ship to not be tarnished
by association — for what’s to come…

Doesn’t matter how much I liked a company
and some of the folks within… My relationships
will remain strong… but my use of any company
so tarnished – will be halted – till my confidence
with them comes back up (if ever)…

Now if only I could finish 2009 finding some
good INDIVIDUAL Brokers that really are
capable of DOING what they say they can do…
and have the connections they CLAIM to have…
such a disappointing bunch of “broker wannabees”
out there (so far) … can you tell I am venting…

We are into the weekend folks…
Have a good one…

Hugs from BELL …

I got a rebate offer, not sure what I’m going to do yet

Its a substantial amount of money, yet I want to see all the auctions I was involved with Brady and that info as you know is not accessible yet but is coming back.

Interesting idea on the thread.
