godaddy slime? I admit to using godaddy to manage my domain names, not because of their low price, but because they had domain management tools before the other top registrants. However, I've always found godaddy to be offensive. Not in their stupid sexy commercials (founder trying to be sexy), nor in the stupid founder blog and politics, but instead in the sleazy upsells and their bloated website.

This morning I found a domain name I would like to purchase. Just for kicks, I clicked through their stupid upsell link to let them buy the domain name for me.

The first thing I notice is they get paid 10% of purchase price. And, that they set the purchase price. Do you think they might be motivated to make sure I purchase domains for a high price?
