Hope nobody here is getting suckered into this old PR8 gov site (deepwaterhorizonresponse.com) at the Godaddy auctions today -- bid is currently at $8,500+ with 14m to go.

This is a 301 redirect that the US gov set up for RestoreTheGulf.gov

Majority of the the good links are long gone to support a PR8 after the next update.

You would be surprised how many dumbfucks there are on gd auctions that do not even know what a 301 redirect is. Or even that PR can be faked.

In opposite. You need to find if this domain was once (probably lately) 301-ed to any high PR site. If you are lucky you see it in archive.org. But chances are you don't, so you just research this domain's backlinks and meditate on whether this PR looks reasonable.
 
Whoa, can't wait to see what the new owner does with it.

Regardless to say it still has a ton of great links, Sure it'll lose some PR but won't completely tank. Just still a steep price.

Anyone else feel the competition in the bidding wars getting heavier?

Using Open Site Explorer will give you a quick, high-level view of the domain and usually is pretty good at detecting a 301 from the start. AHREFs and MajesticSEO are good as well but you typically have to tick more boxes in order to reveal the 301.

Definitely still has a lot of great links. The webmaster missed a few good ones and forgot to update some on the Whitehouse.gov, PR5 and EPA.gov pages (these are PR7's), NOAA.gov, etc.

You'll notice "Sign up for text message alerts" on EPA.gov still have the old site "deepwaterhorizonresponse.com"

Lot of random links that are easy to miss by the human eye.

As long as it stays a PR8, you could get at least $400/month per link and pay off your risk within a few months. Or just redirect it to one of your $$ sites and see what happens ;)

if someone who didnt win would get upset they would just email and get the link removed
I doubt the gov wants to support link sales of their old sites
 
Almost all the domains on godaddy, that have a starting price of $150 and have an actual website on them are going be fake, either they have a 301 or all the links pointing to it, will be from domains that also are up for auction. here was the list I found that all interlinked. Notice the cheap .info extensions
