Whois shows that it is owned by the owner of domainlore... something fishy going on there I think.

Utterfly is Denys' Auction name, he has sold quite a few names in the x,xxx range.

Last I remember he agree'd not to participate in DomCatch auctions but normal auctions he can bid on, and he also sells on there himself.

You'd need to be mad to bid on a domain owned by the owner of the auction platform... he can see everyones max bids and adjust accordingly

Skinner · Sep 10, 2011

I'm not sure how a site owner could influence an auction outcome without 'creating' a bidder. I am 99% sure if you suspected this, given Denys recent stance on Shill Bidding with a domain of significant value he wouldn't be opposed to revealing who your rival was, just to ease your own mind, if you was the buyer

I'm still hopefully that he adds some sort of profile page, so you can click on it and see more about the opposition, hard to play strategically against a shadow

Sedo regularly auctions off their domains on their auction platform... something like once per month.

I get the impression denys is very straight-laced and honest. Most would agree I think
If he wants to sell his own domains on his own site who can anyone tell him not to
whats he meant to do? sell them on a competitiors site?

all i was saying was the domain sucks lol

this is a terrible domain..... and not worth £1,000 let alone over £4,000.

I didn't bid for this because i have most of the best domains in the industry and i saw this was at £2k at the time, and was no way worth that amount.

Good luck winner!!!

A terrible domain ? didn't you buy the .org.uk of this for £300 a few weeks back ?

And the magic word from your reply is "£300" not over £4k. Its worth £300 just to take the domain and have it sit there in case the phrase "e cig" gets any bigger in the future.

i paid £300...... I rest my case. no way is the .co.uk worth over £4k.

So what you meant was it was a 'terrible price' not a 'terrible domain' ?

You can't have it both ways... either the .org.uk at £300 and the .co.uk at £4k are both terrible buys, or none of them are. So which are you going with

Finally someone else who can see what I am saying

I'm with you - your logic is sound.

Probably one of those nasty "Should I - Shouldn't I" moments. That stay in your mind longer than you wish they would and where you really have to convince yourself to take a position -
