    Question about bids on Name Jet

    I am attemping to acquire a pending delete domain on name jet. I was the first bidder and bid a little higher than the min bid. I looked and now there are two bids but I am still the highest bidder so Iam assuming the other bidder just bid the minimum. So my question is this.
    If that persons bid is lower than mine and it ends does it still go in the 3 day auction or do I get it since I bid higher first.
    Thanks for any help, this is my first time at name jet.

    Since you were not the only bidder it will go into a 3 day auction PROVIDED that Namejet grabs it (you said it was pending delete, not a pre-release).

    Therefore, a thing to keep in mind: always bid the lowest amount when it's in pre-release as the amount you bid is BINDING, not a reserve.

    The original registrar is with enom so would the likelihood that name jet picks it up be high because I also have it backordered at Go Daddy and a few other places.
    Thanks

    Yes, likelihood is high; still, it'll be a drop. Backorder it at Snapnames as well, if you want to cover all bases.

    If it's pending delete (dropping) no registrar gets prefered treatment. Snapnames often performs best for drops. Of course backorder at other places as well.
