A few days ago I posted about 636.cc hitting the auction block and immediately taking off to $30,000. Well it looks like GoDaddy went in and wiped out a lot of bids from 9/15 and the price was back down to $1,175. The name is now up to $5,100 with a couple big bids. Hopefully there are no games the second time around. You can see the bidding from the first group of bids … [Read more...]

Will the buyer get the wire in on time? This could be a new gameshow for every high priced auction close on GoDaddy. There is a good chance the buyer here is from China.

If you know you can’t pay on time- Don’t Bid
