Flippa banned the buyer of the following domains that “sold” on this day:
WebsiteSupport.net $651
BuyAnSUV.com + 1 domain $500
MensTallClothing.com + 3 domains $1000
Since 2 of these were reported here as Flippa sales and Flippa hasn’t taken my hint that it should retract bogus sales more publicly, I’ll retract them here on Flippa’s behalf.
Presumably that “buyer” under the same or different aliases has also been responsible for other Flippa “sales” that are reported on various domain-related websites but which, in fact, never occur. It seems unlikely that I alone was targeted, yet I know about these 3 only because I was the seller. Without additional research, however, I have no way of estimating the percentage of Flippa’s non-sale “sales”.
Troublingly, this buyer’s opening bids hit my non-public reserve amounts ($500 and $1000) precisely on the first shot, suggesting (rightly or wrongly) some inside access to Flippa data.
I’ve asked Flippa for details, but I’ve been brushed off twice with a vague explanation about the buyer having attempted fraud of some kind. That may be so. All the same, I wish Flippa would do more to undo the positive publicity they enjoy from spurious sales.
