Sounds like the wild west. It sounds like there were massive conflicts of interest. If Rick Latona the auctioneer was bidding at his own auction, who the heck was he representing? The sellers, who pay his commissions? The buyers, who expect a level playing field? Himself? It sounds very very shady.

Proxibid isn’t at fault here. I’ve posted a retraction on my blog at http://www.ricklatona.com/2009/04/08/changes-afoot-at-rick-latona-auctions-firm-reserves-an-apology-to-proxybid-and-a-fat-lady-that-wants-to-sign-but-cant-yet/

Uh, if Proxy bid is charging top dollar then it is 80% their responsibility to ensure everything is setup, tested and working. To hold the client to the fire is stupid because they don’t know your system. And during the system they should have hotlines for trouble.
If Proxy bid is a discount auction then I can’t blame them. I would need to look at how Proxy bid brands themselves. I could audit them, that is my job. When a client says I got hung up but this “let me see the flaws in the system” that is the #1 sign, the #1 sign!!!!! that the company didn’t do proper testing. Five companies refused my results, and didn’t pay me, and today all five are bankrupt and one has done so many illegal things to stay in business it makes me sick.

Boratagogo,

We have offers in excess of these amounts you mentioned and none of them are from me directly. That is except for StripClubs which sold. I was clear up to 100k on that one so had to stop when it passed it.

Camgirls.com 300k
Webcam.com 600k
xxx.com $1m
Bangedup.com $50k
StripClubs.com Can’t recall bid amount????
Sexshows.com $30k

As for the others, I’ll report all of the sales when our extended auction closes on Sunday.

The names above could still sell. I certainly hope at least one of them does. We are actively negotiating on all of them now as I type this.

The fat lady isn’t singing yet.
