Take me to Newfoundland, eh?
Adam Dicker, owner of DNForum, has just listed the domain name Newfoundland.com on Flippa.
The apparent motive: Halifax.com that ended unsold on Flippa by some other seller, had a bid of $266,000 that looked quite suspicious; the seller claimed that the reserve was just $1 higher than the high bid.
The Halifax domain has been re-listed since, with a $200k reserve. Will the bidder of the original $266,000 bid take advantage of this great discount? 😉
Meanwhile, the Canadian island and province domain Newfoundland.com is a PR4 and Adam Dicker states that it receives more than 30,000 unique visitors monthly.
This post is 100% true!
Same guy that had halifax ran another auction for livestock.com at the same time, both were “just” under reserve bids. Yea right.. add him to my blacklist. Scammers everywhere.
