A lot of people expected the domain to get renewed, instead a big score for GoDaddy.
They cancel auctions up to a week after closing, so it’s not a done deal yet.
Not anymore, that registrant lost their chance to renew last week.
Anyone who has purchased many domains from GoDaddy in the past few weeks knows that they still cancel auctions all the time, up to a week after closing.
That is likely a domain not registered at GoDaddy.
Now some people mention they are still having names taken back after an auction closes, That most likely is coming from another registrar that sends GoDaddy auctions their expired domains to auction off. GoDaddy can not impose it’s will on that registrar’s TOS with their customers.
Paul Nicks on Namepros:
We completed the release of these changes on 12/5, late in the afternoon. Any domain bid on after that point will be subject to the new expiry lifecycle.
One thing that we were not able to release is the immediate movement of a domain into your account after purchase. We had an issue with that part and need to fix before trying to roll it again. So, if you bid on a name after 12/5 then that name will no longer be able to be renewed by the original registrant, but it still has to wait until day 42 to wind up in your account. I apologize for the wait, but we are currently working on getting the instant delivery up and running.

Is it good to register some other extensions for dispute, say dispute.center, dispute.website, as the buyer of dispute.com may like to buy these domains so that his asset is not diluted.
It’s bad practice to invest in a domain with only one potential buyer in mind. If you think dispute.center has broad appeal to many potential buyers then by all means, add it to your portfolio, but if you just want to flip it to the buyer of the .com, then I wouldn’t suggest it.
thanks for suggestion.I was thinking other way around.
Let’s face it – it’s a “negative” domain, not very appealing. Has value, sure, but no the kind of domain one would want to strive for.
How on earth can someone allow this domain to drop. It’s like losing gold.
Thanks for making a donation Raymond. 🙂
