Sometimes, I forget to change name servers and leave my newly purchased names pointing to GoDaddy. Weeks later, when I type in the name, I’m shocked not only to see that it goes to a GoDaddy landing page but that sometimes there is a notice that the name is up for auction. (This happened to me just this afternoon.)

I’ve never put a name up for auction at GoDaddy, but I assume I must’ve clicked something on the site at some point that inadvertently authorized this. I’ve never bothered to look into it. I always just change the name servers and forget about it. Probably stupid of me.

I’ve had names I’ve bought from people and still laugh about the names still listed for sale in various venues.
