The domain Rented.biz was sold on Flippa for $30,000. There were 28 bids and you
would think maybe there was a bidding war.
Well the highest bid before the $30,000 was $140. Yes that's right the bidding jumped from $140 to $30,000. (I want to clarify the $30,000 was the buy it now) This is very strange and makes most think there is an error somewhere.
You can look at the bidding here
I hope the owner made one heck of a sale and congrats, I am not saying the sale did not happen,I think Flippa needs to make sure these odd sales are explained and assures those using Flippa and the larger domaining community as a whole that these sales are legit.
Thanks for highlighting this nonsense. There is no way a name like that would go for $30,000. Flippa needs to stop this kind of stuff.

Someone used the BIN button to buy the domain. It wasn't a auction bid. It says "Buy It Now Bid"

That's correct Gnanes that's why I said that's some jump. Do you believe someone jumped to $30,000 buy it now from $140 ?

I don't get it. It's not Rentals, or even Rent. Sounds fishy or like a supreme waste of money.

Hi,
I find it pretty sad that people who visit Flippa are being fooled and manipulated by such fake sales.
I had some issues with Flippa last year and the owners quickly emailed me a lengthy apology.
What I figured out what that most of the sales are fake and done by the owners of Flippa themselves along with a trusted few.
However, I was not able to prove it at that time. But, Flippa was quick to respond and grant me not only a full refund on my listing but a credit advance for future listings on their website.
My advice to all of you is never go there. You are a goat that they are just waiting to prey on.
