Neither of you Netfleet guys, DavidL and Mark accept private messages on Dntrade .. very strange .. so in the event of a complaint would prefer that such things be posted in public in the hope of a response from you ?

Sorry, that would be my fault, I am doing a bit of moving around of usergroups, they were in the Verified group which had PM's switched off, should be all working now.

Hi Max,

So your complaint is why is there no time added onto our auctions following a last minute bid.

I thought I would address publically in case other people have the same question.

The answer is no, we do not add time on the the auctions. They finish on the dot at 3pm. Just like Ebay, for example.

I'm sorry you were outbid in the last few minutes. My advice is always to put a proxy at the absolute max that you would be prepared to pay knowing that it will automatically reduce to the lowest possible to win the domain.

If current bid is $50, say and you think the domain is worth $2000, make that $2000 proxy - don't be tempted to think 'It's only $50 so I'll just pop a bid of $200' because you might get beaten.

Hope that helps

Cheers

David

Insurance.net.au would have been nice, but didn't want it badly enough to pay $8k.

I noticed that insurance.com.au is languishing down on page 5 when your search Google for insurance. I know it's a super competitive term, but I thought the site would have done better given the exact match domain and a reasonably well developed site.

Just poorly seo'd on and off-page I think.

You're right with that domain, a page 1 results would be pretty easy with a few tweaks to that site

Bad luck Max
I feel for you mate
Next time bid more
Oh thats right! You will never ever see a name like cars.net.au again
If it is any consolation , I bet BMG have very deep pockets and wouild have outbid you no matter what your proxy was
The more people that believe the hype that .net.au is no good for SEO the better for the true believers
