Title: BitcoinCash.com
Post by: terrytibbs on December 25, 2011, 11:43:31 AM
An unfortunate series of events in my personal life has forced me to get rid of this domain I very recently won in an auction here.

The domain is currently stuck at GoDaddy (ugh) where it awaits expiry of its transfer lock.

Post your bids in this thread. Prices are in USD but are to be paid in bitcoins. If you would like to make a private bid you may contact me via private message. Bidding starts at 30USD and is made in increments of at least 1USD.

If any valid bids occur less than 60 minutes before the auction end time, then the auction will be extended by 60 minutes. If any valid bids occur less than 60 minutes before the new end time, then the auction will be extended again, etc. The time will continue extending until bids stop coming in.

The auction ends on February 21 2012 16:00 GMT+0000 (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=136) (bolded for the joint).

But the scammer label isn't really encouraging.  At least you are a hero scammer.  Sounds legit.

The scammer tag together with the fact that he can't transfer the domain is really discouraging.

I just had it transferred from its previous owner. The transfer lock is standard practice.

AFAIK only newly bought domains are locked for 2 months. Maybe it's a Godaddy only feature.

Wait expiration of lock? When can domain be transferred?

Also is it really necessary to have a almost 60 day auction?

The lock is put in place when you change WHOIS information. I added a couple of days of buffer to the date the lock ends and made that the auction end date.

Yes.

Seeing as you made the auction time extend every time there's a bid in the last hour, it really doesn't matter if I get this over with now or wait until the end as I can't snipe it anyway.

30$.

Friendly bump, as we slowly near the end of this auction.

I'll go ahead and bump again. There'll probably be another one as we come very close to the finish, but then I'm done with this.

Good deal. "Scammer" or not, terrytibbs was very professional and fast throughout the whole trade.
