With everything said though and Luke77 being weeded out, the bidding should have 100% went back to the bidding prior to him getting involved e.g. £760 -- Buyer5 -- 21-07-2019 -- 18:38:28.
 
Well in most cases the only time you see that kind of action is if someone is shill bidding, however, Phil is a genuine guy so i can't see that being the case! So the only other conclusion would be someone wanting to disrupt the auction..

That was my thought. Seems someone has a serious grudge playing out with DL. Didnt it get DDOS'd the other day someone said ?

I think Denys has done the right thing here because if two people were willing to pay this amount the auction would have gone here anyway
 
Surely it would have been better to extend this until tomorrow what if Luke's an end user out of the office until tomorrow say.
Or is it sure this guys just someone messing with domainlore
 
If the owner is innocent then I’d think it was someone trying to draw attention away from the other auction ending today.
 
As a guess, I would say bid from Luke77 was to reveal the highest offer. Why, is another question. We now know with some confidence the amount required to win the auction.

Well done Denys for maintaining integrity of the platform.

aaaaah. So you think he went 1 million quid or something
 
Denys is keeping me up to date.

A shame there are idiots out there who do this and mess up genuine auctions - crazy!

Not a nice thing to happen to you Fella! I feel your pain.

Congrats looks like it ended at a descent price !

Take care
 
Some people open fake accounts to run the price up on own auction ( NOT IN ANYWAY SAYING THAT WHAT HAPPENED HERE) COuld also be someone trying to bad rep DL. Site has been attacked recently apparently.

Didnt Mark get whisky ?
I think Deyns is pretty hot at spotting any shill bidding and anyone who gets caught attempting to do this gets banned, which is not so good if use DL a lot to auction your domains, which is why I think it is quite rare for it to happen and I would suspect only attempted by naive newbies.
