Hi, Konstantinos. Please don’t take this the wrong way, since I believe you ought to be free to publish any auction result as you see fit. I’m not telling you what to do. Just thinking aloud myself and wondering what you yourself think.
Basically, it seems to me that reporting on auctions that don’t meet a reserve comes with some risk that you and your readers might be taken advantage of.
After all, anybody who wants to can set a high reserve price and have a friend place high bids below that reserve. If they know that such non-binding bids will get them extra publicity in the form of blog posts by industry observers, then some unscrupulous sellers will be even more likely to engage in those practices. In other words, attention paid to auctions that close below a reserve price does increase the incentive for shill bidding.
I’m not suggesting that all auctions that don’t meet a reserve have fake bids. Clearly that’s not always true. Also, I’m not pointing fingers at anybody. But many auctions that end without a sale do have bids from people who have no intention of buying … and sometimes no real bids whatsoever. So I’m somewhat concerned about seeing bids that don’t result in sales reported side by side with actual sales. They’re very different species.
We’d have no way of knowing what’s real and what’s fake. But I figure that if someone out there (now or in the future) is rigging bids for the sake of publicity within an auction platform and publicity on blogs, you at least ought to be paid well for advertising on their behalf. If the practice of reporting on domain auctions that don’t meet reserve becomes widespread within the domain industry, then there will be some abuses on the part of sellers that receive extra publicity and legitimacy from reports like yours.
That’s my concern. I don’t presume to tell you what to report or not report. What do you think on balance?
“Whiskey.com $170,000 (reserve not met)”
The funny thing is that this super-premium name was allegedly listed on Flippa not directly by the owner but by the broker who has it in exclusive, a KCGroup … lol
I mean, a broker should be able to market to end-users in a professional way, the fact that they listed it on Flippa could mean they actually have no clients or are not able to close a deal with end-users … that’s ridiculous …
If the owners of Whiskey.com are listening, feel free to drop me a line at andrea(at)paladini.org, and I can assure you that we will be able to find you a great buyer for 7 figures …
I mean “are reading” (not “are listening”), typo 🙂
