Godaddy Auctions

Hello Gents,

Looking at a Godaddy Domain which auctions and currently looking at a domain Auction for a domain which has over 100k traffic, over 2 million referring domains, and decent metrics which has 14 hours left. The current bid is only $70.00 and the website is currently live.

I checked whois information and the domain doesn't expire till December 2013

Price is set as Make Offer

So does that mean, that the final offer price (highest) will be automatically accepted. Or can the owner then refuse to sell it?

Not sure on this one but usually with GD auctions even after you have won - the owner has about a week to re-claim their domain

If this happens GD refunds your purchase price

Make an offer auctions have no requirement to sell you the domain unless they agree to the price. This is a private owner not a domain that is expiring and being auctioned off by godaddy. So I would not get too excited. The owner will most likely not accept that price.

The auction you are mentioning is an Offer/Counter Offer domain auction. The domain is not expiring and the seller has put it up for auction, trying to get the best price. If this has Buy Now link, you could potentially buy it - if not, then the domain owner is not going to sell this for $70. For more information on Offer/Counter offers check the link below
