Here’s how it works. I check my email every hour or so except when I’m sleeping. I read all emails and will look and see if anyone wants that name. The first person to email me that they want it gets it. BUT…. If somebody REALLY wants that name and says they will pay higher, it’s theirs as long as it’s in that same period I check my email. I IMMEDIATELY make that decision and will email the person. I don’t wait for a better bid and I would never said “hey I have a higher bid” after I’ve told someone they have it. If I sold a name for $150 and someone comes 5 hours later and says they would pay $500 then I’m out of luck…it’s sold. I only put this in because of the overnight issue. I post these at 3am central time and if someone really wants a name and doesn’t want to get up at 3am they can bid more than the asking price and not have to be quick on the email. When I wake up I check the timestamp of the emails. If this gets to be a problem (and a good problem) then I’ll start a newsletter and send the names out in advance of the post. I’m not getting any takers at this point so the point is moot so far.
