Hmmmmmm...
NEVER trust what you see on g0daddy auctions, NEVER!
Carefully look at what G0daddy is trying to hoodwink us of; that bidders are on fire to purchase this numerical domain?
Let's be honest; $5,655.00 for a numerical domain? Let's quickly examine the domain.
These people are clamoring to pay almost $6k for a worthless domain?
Wait! What is Estibot's evaluation?
Stop right there!
Is Estibot correct in that valuation?
A thousand times NO!
If you are on your "Shank Shyster" game, you can manipulate worthless domains to appear to be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
My point?
NEVER trust G0daddy auctions, NEVER!
And by the way, when they are overbidding like crazy, they are bidding against the HOUSE!

So basically those people bidding are their own employees or they have a bot that does it?

Definitely BOTs, but I wouldn't put it pass them to have a group of faux human bidders. Take a look at the latest, "Most Active Auctions." Look carefully and see if it makes sense?! What Domain Name Investor engages in a BIDDING WAR 5 days before the auction ends? That goes against HUMAN NATURE, it goes against logical investing, smart investing, and common sense. Look at the domain, UrbanEdJournal.org
G0daddy makes it look like people are willing to pay $10.5k for this domain? Five days before the auction is scheduled to end? Let's look at reality. This used to be a Dducational website that focused on issues related to urban education. It's been around since 2002.
It has a great backlink architecture, there is no doubt about that, take a look.
BUT! Look at the targeted keywords.
So, let's look at the facts; if you know how to scrap, you can find expired domains better than this all day long, and only pay the registration fee.
Or, if you have to bid, at most you're going to pay is $200, maybe $300, but no more.
So, the next million dollar question is, "What Domain Name Investor Is Going To Overpay On a Domain Name Like This?"
The answer is, NONE!
If you are building PBNs, as good as the backlink architecture is for that site, it's not worth $10k+!
If you monitor domain names like this from the g0diddy auction, you will find most of them end up right back in the g0diddy pool after the auction.
