I am pretty new on GFY but have been around the block for a few years, certainly not a newbie in adult sites and domains.

I enjoy GFY, found this forum to have a ton of good information and have already made a couple of really good contacts. With that being said what is up with all these fake bidders or people who back out of bids and offers when it is time to pay? I understand it can happen sometimes but damn some of the people I have been dealing with lately are full of shit.

They place a bid or email an offer and then when you accept the offer or they are the final bid the BS starts. No replies for 2-3 days when requesting payment and transfer information.

A good example, a freaking $16 domain.
The guy finally replies and says "Oh I didnt realize it was a Moniker account". Funny cause in orange bold letters I write Registrar: Moniker and even state fast free push to your Moniker account. I then say well thats not a big deal cause it takes a few minutes to open one up, the answer then is "OK". Finally the guys comes back with, hey my client has decided not to buy the domain lol. Your client? On a $16 domain? Hmmmm OK. Everyone has a client now a days lol it's just ridiculous. It's not the $16 that bothers me, just the principle of wasting my time.

Another one for a $200 domain backs out after 3 days of pursuing him. I had a bid for $150 and of course accepted the $200 offer. After the 3 days the person comes back with, sorry we purchased another domain. I then try to contact the second bidder who of course now knows he has leverage and tries to offer only $100 for it.

It's happened several times, I know it's part of the business but seriously people if you are going to place a bid or make an offer you should be correct and follow through with it. It's just good business and it avoids wasting peoples time and also prevents them from losing out on potential serious bidders.

Sorry for the rant but my experience is that ever time a seller does something wrong people jump on them quickly and in bunches but bidders can do this all the time and just ruin a possible sale without any thought what so ever.
