Wtf?
 

You've got to be kidding thinking this was fake.

1. We're not that dumb. If we wanted to fake a sale, why would we pick camroulette.com, price it at $10k and then bid on it over 30 times up to $150k? Seriously, we're just not that dumb folks.

2. The two bidders fighting over the name both had good reasons to buy it. Sometimes when you have an idea or the resources or a proven model, you pay what it takes to get the right name. These bidders have the resources to take adavantage of even a short lived fad and this one is just starting and will evolve (traffic for the name jumped from 500 to 700 day during the auction) - the space is WIDE open.

If you profit from 'cams', don't you see the opportunity to cash in? Especially if $150k is within reason of your overall revenue and budget? Companies pay millions for the right name, $150k is nothing.

3. We are very well known and respected in the domain name industry. We have worked very hard to earn people's trust and never stray from the fundamentals that got us here - over a decade in domains.

The person who owns it posted about it here in the buy and sell section. His opening bid was 10K and he had no bids apparently right up until the last day. I offered him 5K early on but would have paid more with a test. I am surprised it went up this high though. There is a lot of potential with it and I would have paid more, but 150K ?? I hope they know what they doing with it, because they will never make that back just from type in traffic due to the success of chatroulette.

If it goes back up for sale in the next couple months then you know something was fishy or suspect with the sale.

cam roulette is a new feature on ifriends.

:2 cents:

What do you do to verify bidders? If these people were bidding in person, I would have no doubts that the sale would be legit but people bidding online..what recourse is there if they just don't pay up? This happens all the time on sedo and other marketplaces. Dude could have bought other names for much, much less that are much better names too. May have not had the traffic but if they have that much money to spend, I don't think generating traffic would be an issue.
