The Mystery Domain Auction is “no more” according to Jonathan on his site at DNXpert. He has refunded all bids and paid all commissions to affiliates. It appears as though the site was hosted in the US and according to his legal advisers, it was in his best interest to shut it down.
No matter what you thought about this little experiment, it definitely got some attention and publicity for him. I would loved to have seen the outcome. I’m not sure about the legalities of such an auction but it might be a blessing in disguise that it was such a long auction and that he had time to think about it and end it before completion. If it were a shorter auction as I suggested, and already ended, he might not have been so lucky to avoid legal trouble if there was any.
Anyways, he created quite a buzz within the domaining community! Read the entire story here in John’s own words. Best of Luck to him.
