See that small print at the bottom? It reads as follows:
Please complete the form below to contact us with regards to one or more of our premium domains. We will review offers of $500 USD or more.
We will review offers of $500 USD or more? What? I thought they were selling. But they want me to make an offer? That sounds mighty shady to me. And guess what? That's because this company is "a dirty cherry picking company."
Connecting the dots, tracing tracks! New Ventures Services Corp is one of those “who is that” kind of “services / companies” that “sells” domain names and nobody really knows who they are. Well, I traced the tracks and all roads lead to Network Solutions/ Register.com / aka Web.com!
Register.com is a dirty cherry picking company! Domains expire, they cherry pick them, keep some, offer them for sale at higher than normal expired auction prices etc.

Checking the who.is info confirms that New Venture Services Corp is now indeed the owner of Philippinefailblog.com.

A few months ago I published an article saying that Philippinefailblog.com had been renewed. If you look at the info on that Who.is the important dates are very different. The site seemed to have been reregistered with an expiration date of 2019-03-28. What happened between then and June 6th I have no idea.
I emailed New Venture Services Corp for the asking price.

If you have any questions or need further assistance please let me know as I am happy to assist with the purchase of this domain name. I am available on Monday to Friday from 7:00am – 4:00pm EST.
How ridiculous is that!?
It seems this is indeed the final nail in the coffin for Philippinefailblog.
