Has Anyone Been Offered an Unpaid/2nd-Bidder TBR Domain at Siber, etc? (1.Viewing)

DomainRecap · Mar 5, 2021

Just wondering if anyone ever got this option at Siber, or at any other TBR registrar.

I keep hearing about all the TBR deadbeats (places like Burmac/Dot-CA post their deadbeat domains for sale) but I've never had this happen to me, and I finish second in a LOT of auctions LOL.

I hear you DR! But in all the many years I have been using them I have never had that happen myself.

Good question. I've never seen it happen either. You'd think it would occasionally happen, but then again maybe the registrar is almost always happy to keep the name for themselves under these circumstances.

It happened to me many years ago with Pool. But only once. I’m quite surprised that it doesn’t happen more often as I’m sure there are many non paying auction winners at Sibername and MyId.

I think that might be part of the equation as well, and any second-chance offer you'd get would only be on the duds.

And in case anyone was wondering why I brought this up, I noticed this in the Siber TOS:

If your payment is not received in 3 days without a valid reason, we will offer the domain name to the second highest bidder
