Finlead posted a couple of concerning tweets regarding his bidding account at GoDaddy Auctions. Unless this is a new and concerning policy at GoDaddy that I was not aware of before, my guess is this is some sort of error:

@godaddyauctions sends me an email that a bidder defaulted and as 2nd highest bidder I can pick up the name in the next 24h. I decided to pass, yet the name still shows up in my “won” list 3 days later. Now can’t bid on any auctions because I’m “currently blocked from bidding”…

“You are currently blocked from bidding due to unpaid items” I don’t want that item dear @godaddyauctions. Please accept this and get your fake bidding in order instead of hassling me.

I was looking at NamePros this morning when I saw a thread started by Raymond Hackney that discussed changing GoDaddy Appraisals. You should have a look at Raymond’s article and the entire NamePros thread to get some background. Personally, I think automated appraisals should regularly change as comparable sales are indexed. Domain name values are dynamic in nature.
