Ask HN: Is this a scummy domain selling practice by GoDaddy? (double-dipping)
4 by hagibborim | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I'm interested in a domain and the WHOIS record indicates that GoDaddy is the current owner of it. I navigate to their site, search for the domain, and the result indicates that I need to pay for their 'Domain Broker Service' $120 upfront in order to even begin negotiating the purchase, and another 20% commission upon purchase. I cannot even see the price without paying this broker's fee. This strikes me as greedy double-dipping since they're on record as owning the domain. Am I right to be peeved by this? Do I have any recourse?
