Following legal advice obtained as a result of concerns raised by fellow domaining bloggers and some NamePros members about the legality of an all-pay auction in the US where this site is hosted in addition to consideration of the problems I may face at the end of the auction in case more than one person bids with the same amount which is very likely I have decided that the best option is to cancel this auction effective immediately.

All bids have now been refunded.

All affiliates that made sales have been paid out of my own pocket.

Of the various goals stated by John for the project, the most likely one to be accomplished is “I aim to use the money earned to take a break from my day job and attend the Targeted T.R.A.F.F.I.C Conference….amongst other things.”

If this succeeds in turning a profit, watch out for the explosion of copycat efforts.

Domainers would love to help promote a worthy cause and simultaneously expand awareness of their business. If John seriously wanted to make headlines and prove to the world that the domaining industry is really made out of credible, innovative, honest and revolutionary people, he would be donating a significant portion of the proceeds he receives to a charity that all bidders/advertisers could nominate and vote on (like with a poll.) John also should have been much more open and upfront with all of us in his initial emails where he was talking ‘revolution’ and asking us to promote his other scam/e-book.

There WILL BE a revolution, but it sure as hell isn’t gonna come from a bunch of BS like this…

If you are not able to feel guilt then it is a great way to take money from those stupid enough to bid.

If you bid… YOU ARE DUMB.
