LLLL.coms on GoDaddy Auctions
I’ve mentioned this a few times in the past, however the disparity between GoDaddy Auctions LLLL.com prices and LLLL.com prices elsewhere is rising. Looking at all the expiring LLLL.coms on GoDaddy, none of them with under 6 days to go haven’t received a bid of at least $10. Keep in mind that all of these LLLL.coms need to be renewed, so a $10 LLLL.com purchase on GoDaddy is essentially an $18 LLLL.com purchase. Compare this to other venues such as eBay or Namepros where an expiring LLLL.com of minimum wholesale quality is now expected to fetchapproximately $0.50 - $1.00 and a renewed LLLL.com approximately $6.00 - $8.00… I’m not sure why, however renewal fees do not seem to be fully valued when people purchase LLLL.coms. It really makes no sense to me why someone would pay $1 for LLLL.coms expiring tomorrow and often not be willing to pay $8 for an LLLL.com expiring one year from now — as of tomorrow, that $1 LLLL.com will have cost you at least $8.
The minimum wholesale LLLL.coms aren’t the only ones performing well on GoDaddy.. Quad premiums on GoDaddy have historically outperformed the market average and that certainly still appears to be the case, with only 1 quad premium LLLL.com on GoDaddy currently under $130 (and they’re all 1+ days from ending). OHBE.com is at $1505, MNAC.com is at $805, TTRD.com and NBHD.com are at $555 each, NBIF.com is at $505, IBPD.com is at $455, and FDRA.com is at $355.
I haven’t put any effort into evaluating these domains, however the prices are far above what LLLL.coms of comparable letter quality would normally go for.

GoDaddy is absolutely useless and pathetic. Anytime I have asked for their assistance, they have come back with a stupid article that starts with, “Unfortunately we are not able to assist…” biggest bunch of idiots, and if you host anything with them, prepared to be very annoyed.
