Show HN: Backorder .io domains

Thanks - good question.

I originally created this software for my own benefit - to get all of the valuable domains as they came out of expiration.

But selling them takes work and I realized that I was willing to offer potential buyers a steep discount if they bought the domain within 24 hours of my purchasing it.

So this is a way to automate the process, and make it more scalable. I think the auctions feature will make it worthwhile to me (domains go to a 10-day auction if more than one person backorders it).

And that's bad because...

How so?

So the "value-added" is ~$60 since registration is in the $35-45/year range. I'm not sure if the domain equivalent to an ebay auction sniper is worth ~$60/domain when it costs me less money to either check back on the expiry date or just email the person who owns it and give them the $60.
