What a stupid idiot!

I put in an offer on a domain in sedo a few months ago and after much back and forth, I agreed on $1k - the seller agreed and accepted.

So I transfer the money to sedo's escrow 3 weeks ago. I start developing the graphics for the future site...

Then 2 weeks ago, I got an auto-mail from sedo saying:
Quote:
This domain will expire soon or has already expired. We are waiting for the seller to renew the registration before continuing with the transfer. You will then be notified about the next steps.
Then again a week ago the same.
Today, the domain expired.

Grrrrrr, now I have to go after it in the frikken nightmare of the aftermarket auctions...

What a complete tit - he just through away 1k for the sake of what, a $10 renewal fee

This sedo "legally binding agreement" bullshit, is just that. A frikken scam.
