Your explanation is a reasonable one, but still there's the fact that the closing price for the domain name was just too high for an eBay domain name trade. According to DNJournal.com, the highest confirmed eBay sale (year-to-date) is $386,100. Most sales over $500,000 are either transacted on SEDO or are "private sales." To put it simply: eBay is not the place where the really big domain trades happen.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I could be wrong, and this could be a precedent setting domain name trade for eBay, but my instincts tell me that the buyer is bogus. Even <A HREF="http://dnjournal.com./domainsales.htm" REL="nofollow">Ron Jackson @ DNJournal doubts that the buyer is real</A>.<BR/><BR/>I'll post again when there's news on this domain trade.www.BalanceTransfer.cchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11200010706666832717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10355041.post-1125288905308931182005-08-29T00:15:00.000-04:002005-08-29T00:15:00.000-04:00I've noticed that a lot of really high priced auctions win with winning bidders with 0 feedback.<BR/><BR/>It was explained to me that people who have bought cars, houses and other large priced items on EBay bid on the items after hearing about them from friends or in the media. Items that they are interested in, can afford, but have not used EBay before. Items in this price range are much to expensive for the everyday EBay'er.<BR/><BR/>It made sense to me.Brad Alexanderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04432392901230972064noreply@blogger.com
