Getting the Name & Saving Money Without even Trying to save

[David G]

Funny thing happened today. I go to Moniker to reg a name and see it is already taken but its also listed for sale at their Snapnames division when I do a Whois.

Next I go to the Snapnames link and place the order for $59 but the shopping cart will not let me check-out for some odd reason so after many tries I give up.

Next I go to Namejet to open an account and order the same name (first time I ever used Namejet) which was listed as a pending delete and available for $30 so I order it. However, similar thing happened like at Snapnames where after I added it to the cart it somehow disappeared from the cart and said name was now unavaialable.

Finally, I check at Moniker again (it was taken a short time before) and it's now unregd so I quickly take it for the reg fee

I assume it must have dropped during the time I was trying to get it thru Moniker, Snapnames and Namejet. I find it odd how all 3 did not inform me it's suddenly unreg'd and offer a chance to reg it.

snap and moniker were merging some accounts recently

that may have had some effect, but glad you came out on top.
