Yikes! There's still a couple of hours left but worldairways.com is now over $65,000!! Guess someone needs to get it bad!
If the buyer uses eBates, he will save $12,000 on the purchase. Pretty significant.
eBates does not offer cash back for bulk registrations if it involves more than 5 registrations. I am not sure if they offer cash back for auction. thanks for tip though.
Why are you talking about bulk registration?
This is a single auction. The buyer can get his 18% return today on eBates. It is the active rate.
The likelyhood of 2 buyers willing to pay that same range is very rare. I could see 1 buyer, but not 2 creating such a buzz. I put my money on idiots from overseas trying to circumvent the system. If it is a legit sale, great for the industry overall, but end users are not so fast, and loose in auctions for the most part.
I was once awarded an auction, before it was renewed in a similar situation that ended in over $1M+, the owner was in on it, and they were quickly suspended from the platform. Only difference is this is a defunct entity.
If it is an end user, what airline is the buyer?
It was on godaddy, the owner of the domain decided to bid on his own expiring domain in order to get a sucker bid to take the bait. They kept bidding every 5 minutes in order to get a sucker to take the bait, they took the auction to $1.25M I believe, in doing so I guess they were hoping to set a history precedence for their domain also. Many blogs picked up the story, this probably goes back 2 years. This is a different situation, as it is a defunct situation.wow! you were in on a $1M auction? That's all I "heard" from that post. lol
did not know there were people on NP buying at such high prices???
Baller!! so if thee owner was in on it and suspended? do you get the domain for significantly less?

Shows 9% as active rate on their site now. But regardless, do they pay a rebate for auction purchases? Still well worth it.The buyer can get his 18% return today on eBates. It is the active rate.

Way too much. Regardless of the background.
I don't think it's "AI" what caused the steep price. It sold for 24,250 USD. I don't think the bids are valid.Godaddy.com 7 days pubic auction have great domains sometimes and they are always set with price reserve that people can place bids like crazy if they know the price reserve until before it meet reserve at 1 or 2 bids. I have seen this sometimes.
For expired domains, KCAI.com is reaching near $9,000 at GD auction, it will end today. It's unbelievable with "ai" domain now. And wpai.com just sold for $9,500 at Sedo
Looking at Namebio..it's kinda weird.. how do they end up closing auction on same day of the year.. Usually a domain expires on the renew date and then takes about a month atleast before it hits expired auction.
There's something fishy about this domain..
