I think around the time of the Pizza.com transaction that fell through over at Sedo, it made it clear that not ever transaction that ends at auction becomes an actual sale. ~ As for the titles, I think "Rick Latona's Auction Ends With $130,000 In Bids" is fair. The term "sale" or "sold" is often tossed around like you said but then reporting can come across inaccurate like the Pizza.com transaction that fell through. Still today, many sites show the "sale" at a much higher price than the domain name really sold for. @Adam,

Everyday in the domain blogosphere we all report domains as "sold" For example : http://www.domainnamenews.com/miscellaneous/latonascom-daily-auction-rings/7544 Would you write in a post "Rick Latona may have sold $130,000 in domains today if they all go through with the deals." It's safe to assume that since buyer and seller agreed to terms that these deals will go through though. If you are going to doubt this sale, you should hold all auctions or "reported" sales under the same microscope. While I agree with your “it’s never sold until it’s transferred” . . .
