“Halvarez” has also won actions. When bidding, there is always a risk of winning… Do you really believe there was only one SnapNames ID used?

100001 seems to have won

warsurplus.com and FAMILYSECRET.COM among others

Someone’s names seem to be registered at Fab with privacy

Think both are real bidders

Do you know who “someone” and “100001″ are?

Let us define “Auction Value to Bidder” (AVB) as the sum of dollars paid by a user for auctions won divided by the number of auctions entered for any given sample of n auctions.

AVB = Sum(Completed Bid) / Count(Initial Bid).

If you can calculate AVB for all users in your sample with n > Halvarez’s that may float a few interesting things… And no, I’m not the one with the same ID, but in the sample I’m working on has “someone” with very low AVB.

We are getting very close in having our info in a meaningful and organized form and will be publishing some results hopefully tomorrow.

On another note you wouldn’t happen to use this same ID on Snapnames would you? Someone?

MHB – Can you compute the following for “Halvarez” in your auctions:

Sum of Completed Bid / Count of Initial Bid

That is – the dollar amount paid by “Halvarez” in the 34 wins divided by the number of auctions “Halvarez” participated in.

If the names are NOW owned by Oversee or any of their obscure subsidiaries (dozens of previous domain tasters) …ask for them.
These names are goign to make them look pretty bad in any court proceeding IMHO.

You should seek legal counsel to determine what your rights are.

I’m not sure any of the class actions will be seeking return of any of the domains Brady won and paid for.

Should I join the class-action suit to get back? This really sucks on part of Oversee for offering a solution for those who lost the domains to their employee.

Not through the settlement, a solution for that is not being offered
