Not a fan of the buyers who go on Twitter to rant about the price of the domain.
Reminds of SmallBets.com - Buyer did the same thing and eventually bought the domain after agreeing with Francois to buy the domain for a $$ + domains trade deal.
NameCheap had similar policy of asking 2nd bidder to pay. Posting on Twitter with screenshots of auctions got them to change but It took more than 1 year to get them to change their policy. Now they run the auction again.

@GoDaddy There are sites like ExpiredDomains for example that have search function for GoDaddy Auction domains, will they continue to work since Afternic domains will be shown on GoDaddy Auctions?
You have other options: Namejet, DropCatch, Sav, Dynadot
At GoDaddy or other marketplaces, user listed auctions don't get same amount of bidding like the expired domains. Amount of bids you get will depend on how and where you promote the auction.

Dynadot used to have issue with this. They used to force 2nd bidder to pay. Do they still have this policy?
Vince posted on Twitter that he's holding the bidder's other domains hostage until he pays.
