A lot of resources publish domain expiration lists<\/strong><\/a> and some are curated by hand.<\/p>\n

By using these resources, one then spends time identifying domains with a great potential, for development or resale at a later time.<\/p>\n

On the secondary market, I focus on aged, brandable com\/net\/org domains and GoDaddy domains that are expired often meet these criteria.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, such expired domain auctions come with an underlying drawback: their owner can renew them or transfer them out.<\/p>\n

In a recent auction, I bid on a .com registered in 1992, but someone else won the auction eventually, which ended in the low four figures.<\/p>\n

A week later, I went back and checked to see who won the domain. It helps me understand better the bidding patterns and strategies of others.<\/p>\n

As it happens, the domain was still owned by the previous owner, but the domain was both renewed and transferred away from GoDaddy.<\/p>\n

I reached out to Joe Styler of GoDaddy<\/strong><\/a>, who has been doing a great job orchestrating a lot of processes in the GoDaddy machine.<\/p>\n

He was very understanding about my concerns, stating that they are looking into ways to minimize the renewal or transfer of domains away right after an auction win. There are a few stop gap measures in place that assist resolving such issues, and GoDaddy is looking into improving the process.<\/p>\n

Naturally, I am not upset about the domain’s renewal by the owner; after all, it’s a valuable asset that I had hoped to acquire at a portion of its value.<\/p>\n

That’s what expired domain auctions are for.<\/p>\n

I feel sorry, however, for the winning bidder who paid thousands of dollars and then waited for a week to get the domain, but will be given a refund instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
