50 too good to be trues

Very expensive.

:thumbsup

owned.......

Ok, I don't use eBay ... but why does one person's bids keep rising, even though no one else is competing?

Just curious.

this one is the best :)

Say i have an auction and it is at $5.00

and you are willing to pay up to $50.00 for the item. You can enter your bid of 50$ and the auction will go up to a lil over 5$ so you can get it at the cheapest price possible.

But say Joe comes along and sees my item now at 6$ and he trys to bid 7$ ebay will rebid you higher than him and you will be relisted as the higher bidder without ever listing him as a bidder


Understand?

That's a good one, but I think this one is better:

if it's for real it could be a very smart 3 letter buy....

tgp.com doesn't point / link to the auction ... the sale may be a scam - I say that because when it comes to domains, ebay is basically scam central - I've seen shady domain listings on Afternic, Sedo, etc ... but no where near as many as on Ebay - buyer beware!

$10100 already

btw, the seller seems is solid.

payment by wire... reduces the possibility of it being a fake.. you could certainly verify payment details well before the auction closes.... if in doubt, email the seller...

Terry

Did you look at what else this seller sold recently???

Sorta weird to have sold in the most recent auction "a wardobe"
another auction "a handbag"
another one "a drive"

thats all the specific items that can be found that he sold in feedback
rest is pretty vague....
and then he has the domain TGP.com to sell????
Maybe he found it in his "wardrobe" or one of those "handbags" ??

As Johnny carson would say
That's w-e-i-r-d

Definetly looks like a scam to me.

Scam. Whois email bounces, seller knows that most people won't call the number (if it works), runs up the price on ebay, and then offers the real owner half of that.

that's killer

Current bid: US $12,100.00

nice price

Let me just repeat for people not paying attention:

TGP.com's whois email bounces. This is classic in the domain world as a scam in which people use that to "sell" it, knowing that the owner cannot be (easily) contacted to refute the sale or the selling price.

Buyer beware.

u mean like this guy...


lol

Just yesterday I typed that domain in my browser to see what was there...

contact the seller through ebay. I bet you won't get a response.

And I've just bidded on it.

Email doesnt work for me

Someone want to drop in his suite. Im 25 min a way but im not interestedi n shelling out 100k for TGP.com

12 g's ???

something smells around here.

NEVER buy a domain worth anything of note unless the seller agrees to use an escrow service with established domain-transfer protocols. Since the terms of this auction are not clear that the buyer can insist on an escrow service, then I would stay a million miles away from this one.

My :2 cents:

Surely the person owning tgp.com must know it's a common adult related acronym ... if the sale was legit, they'd post a for sale thread here on GFY :)

Ron

exactly what i would do also

Not necessarily ... many scammers insist on wire - because a wire once sent, can't be reversed. It's a trivial matter for a scammer to setup a bank account somewhere.

Even escrow is no guarantee if ownership is in doubt ... many folks have been burnt that way - do some searches at DNForum (search site using Google if not a DNF member) using the keywords stolen domain or similar for numerous examples.

I called the whois ph# and left a message :)
