Well was the service provider acting independently of the auction site, 100%?
I put in proxy bid of substantially higher than the amount it went for. If Denys had been acting with a conflict if interest as he owned the auction site, he could have bid it up to that knowing what bid I put in.
As it was, Denys was acting in his own personal interests in obtaining the name personal use and not bidding up the price.
So I am 100% happy with how it went and that everyone acted 100% independently.
Just to add that Denys was looking into changing this a little in the future so that the owner puts in a reserve rather than a bid, which I think is a good idea.
