Yogi 24 Auctions on domainlore

This has been mentioned in a couple of threads now but nobody had come forward to say that they have previously dealt with them.

Please people, there are more than one side to a story, we know the side of the seller selling off the domain they recently bought, we don't know why and speculating is just wrong.

I have dealt with the seller and he has his reasons, he does not owe anyone any explanations.

I don't see why this is an issue, people circumstances changes, no one knows what is around the corner and lets respect the sellers auctions please.

Thanks

Whilst I don't disagree, I think it's valid to highlight and mentally flag oddities like this.

By all means carry on about your business and part with your hard-earned if you feel so inclined, but there is nothing wrong with analysing the market and people being able to make their own informed decisions.

I originally raised this as it seemed a bit strange and I was concerned his account might have been hacked.

Its odd because we don't know the seller, we assume fraudulent activities., this is not new. People buying asset and then dumping it for whatever reasons. All we are doing here is assumption.

The only fact here is, someone bought loads of domain and now selling it few months later at a loss. This is the only fact, the rest is speculation/assumption. So, no, you are not making an informed decisions at all, you only have one fact and that's it, nothing else and this fact does not indicate anything other than that.

I have read people saying money laundry or something to do with paying less tax or something sinister.

Another example is the guy that setup .xyz, he bought loads of LL during the Nominet auctions and from few people, he came and dump them on Domainlore, some at 70% loss, while he was raising money to setup .xyz. In this situation, we know the reasons. While we don't know the reason why this seller is dumping the domain names he bought does not give us any right to be suggesting any fraudulent activities.

People dump assets for many reasons, whoever bought them gets a bargain and they move on.

I'm out on this thread anyway, good luck to you all and I hope none of you will ever find yourselves in a situation where assets of any kind does not matter to you anymore.

Understood, Domainlore and Nominet account would have to be hacked for domain to be listed on Domainlore and transfer out of Nominet.

Also because the domains don’t forward to the auction they seem to forward to spam websites

Not necessarily if the buyer paid for the name directly via paypal or BT, no need for the domain to be transferred over if fraudulent. Obviously wouldn't be a problem if the buyer used an ESCROW service as the domain would need to be transferred.
 
It’s a shame you took so long to come forward, but I am glad you vouched for the seller and that there is nothing dodgy going on.

Why is something dodgy is the assumption, why not, I hope the guy is okay? I don't have to know the guy, I would have said the same thing.

I'm not here to defend the seller but I don't think the direction of this discussion is right either.

Anyway, you guys can carry on, I'm out.
 
I don’t think it was assumed to be dodgy.

It was simply due diligence, which wasn’t possible because of the sellers anonymity.
 
I didn't see anything dodgy personally.

Don't know him personally or his circumstances but to me it just appears as a combination of 2 things.

1) He gets caught up in bidding and seems to over-pay in general.
2) He recently acquired a domain that wasn't that cheap. My initial thoughts is that he's just selling some assets to pay towards that.

Sometimes losing money actually makes you money, if a better opportunity comes along.

This. Is. Bang. On.
In fact, unless you absolutely minted there can be many times you have to sell at a loss to fund what you perceive to be a bigger/better opportunity and it's hardly a concept restricted to domaining.

Surely when buying a domain name the idea is the buyer's perception is the domain is being undersold hence the value in it.
 
If the greater concern is as the buyer, because the domains do not forward to Domainlore during the auction, I don't think it would be unreasonable to ask that he change the nameservers or another marker within whois to prove ownership, prior to making payment. Personally I think that all domains should point to the nameservers prior to start of auction; not sure why this isn't a thing.
 
Yogi24 was the buyer of HelpToBuy.org.uk too at over 40 grand i believe

Agreed, this was my concern to begin with.
 
Sounds quite straightforward to me...

He was sat in one of the many bars.co.uk wondering whether to isofix.co.uk himself to his new domain investments and concluded bollocks.co.uk to that and that he's happy taking what he can get to helptobuy.org.uk a new warrior.co.uk costume instead.
 
Looks like someone realised they overpaid for the domain and realised the mistake they made.

I hope it sells for a decent amount. I wouldn't like to see someone lose out this like if your reading is accurate!
 
Hi Guys,

I can 100% confirm that user Yogi24 is a genuine domainer as I've met him in person and been a friend of his for over 10yrs - He's a good guy, family man and also a member on this forum too. I have also acquired a number of domains from him too.

Best,
Barry
