It no bull. Check the whois. It’s just been created on 2nd Feb and now parked at fabulous. It’s registered to Xedoc Holding from Luxembourg. At $161k, I thought the buyer would have been CNET who owns shopper.com. Either Xedoc Holding has a good value add for this domain or they’re intending to hold CNET for high ransom…

There are a few oddities about this latest breaking news though..

  1. Why on earth does someone let a ripper domain like shoppers.com … expire?!! Did he get hit by a bus and he didn’t put this on his will?
  2. Why this was auctioned off on Pool.com when the domain was registered at Network Solutions so it should have gone to NameJet.com? What a costly glitch in their system! Someone’s about to get fired.

I’m also not the only one who thinks $161k was too high.
