Sorry to hear about your continued troubles and thanks for sharing details on how NL is "working" since the "sale".
Thanks
@GNP
Fortunately, I'm not really bothered - I'm just using up a couple hundred $ credit I had left at Epik. I had pretty much already expected to lose this money, and am fortunate that this is now my only exposure to Epik, thus I'm in a much better position than many who had a lot of $$ in Masterbucks. Really just posting here to keep people up-to-date a bit with Epik-related business.
So WHO is actually running NameLiquidate???
According to the "poster" they don't offer aftermarket, but according to NL's website quote: "A service of Epik. com"!! So is "Old Epik" still running NL OR is this seemingly another lie / contradiction by the "poster"???
That's a very good question. NameLiquidate WAS included in the purchase (well at least the copy of the APA that we've seen), which seems strange when the LLC people say they're only running a registrar and no marketplace, etc. Presumably they have forgotten to switch it off at this stage. But everything is just a guess with these guys. Certainly, you'd have to wonder why they bought it if they don't want to operate it. In fact, they wanted it so bad, they had it listed twice in the list of assets they were buying:
I assume NL is getting zero attention at present, and it'll die out anyway. With the lack of domains there now it just seems to be a couple of sellers listing, and some of the expiry stream.
So "New Epik" might be backdating unwanted changes to when "Old Epik" was in charge!!!
That sounds really sketchy...I wonder if "Old Epik" agreed to that being done???
Also means that anyone still using new/old Epik services should screenshot their transactions and immediately email the screenshots to an email address the user owns (for future date/time proof, if things get backdated changes later on).
Well, I can't say that for sure. I know I had been charged for the domain and renewal, and nothing was delivered. This was the case a day or two after the auction ended. I didn't really expect to ever receive the domain, so didn't check again until yesterday. At that point, the refunds had been issued, though it's possible this was done prior to the sale to the LLC.
Regardless though, the more proof you have of any current transactions at Epik, the better, IMHO.
