depends. they offer proxy once the 3-day auction has started. but if you're bidding $500 before the drop, then the auction starting price is $500 if others bid in as low as $10. If no one else bid in (slim chance) then you got it for $500 when you could have had it for $10. 
but if its in high demand like refurbished.com was, just bid in $10 at enom and $60 at pool, snap names, etc. wait and see who gets it and then watch the closing like a hawk. btw, refurbished.com went for $32k the other day. here's some other sales:

example: i wanted CollegeLive.com (not the best domain, but I'm happy with it) and placed a backorder everywhere, when i watched it close at namewinner BEFORE the drop (they auction it off before it drops) at 200+, I quickly raised my back order to $60 at enom, pool, snapnames, etc. luckily enom caught it and after a 3day auction with 5+ ppl, it was mine for around $100.
another example: I wanted MoreGore.com (just for fun), so i bid $30 at NW, $15 at Godaddy and $10 at enom. No one else wanted it, for obvious reasons, but I got it from enom for $10+$7fee.

Thanks for the info.
Anyway, so if im right i fucked up already? i already added a 500 bid so other people are forced to bid more and if nobody bids on it i bought a 10$ for $500 ??
If thats the case im a big idiot. |
