2 letter .biz's?

[Devil Dog]

Are these available to reg or resale?

I don't believe they are available to register. I do believe that they were sold at one point, and you can buy them from a reseller. However, if you let it drop, it is gone forever.

I think that is how it is, I did no research on it, so don't take my word for it

I don't think so, bz yes, biz no.

The reason I ask is... Checking one of my names on domaintools, I just happened to see **.biz for sale at afternic, so I click the listing link and see it's for sale for $250 so I say what the heck and place a bid for that amount.

Of course, the offer was accepted but this is when I recalled someone saying two letter .biz's aren't available to reg.

Just wanted some clarification.

I think there was a guy also trying to sell LL.info :?:

As far as i know 2character .info and .biz were never available for registration.

There are still 2 character .com/.net/.org however if they drop they are doomed to the domain graveyard

2-character info/biz/us are reserved by the respective registries.

Well ain't this about a B...? Apparently Afternic knows nothing about this either.

This looks mighty suspicious:

Hi,

Thank you for selling with Afternic. According to the whois this domain is available. Can you please verify that you actually own the domain and can transfer it to the buyer once they have sent payment?

We cannot ask the buyer to send funds until you have confirmed this.

Hi,

Thank you for using Afternic. This domain was recently listed on our site. So if you sold it why would you list it for sell with Afternic? You have three domains in escrow that you claim to have the same issue with.

Please take this as your warning. You need to update your portfolio today and only list domains that you own and can be transferre to the buyer. We will not be able to cancel any escrow in the future without terminating your Afternic account as well. If you have any questiosn please let us know.

Best Regards,
Denise Savoy
Escrow Manager

Hi,

Thank you for buying with Afternic. I am sorry at this time we are cancelling this escrow. The seller has been warned about listing domains they cannot transfer. Please let us know if you have any questions.

The second one you posted basically says "I am backing out (because I sold the domain elsewhere)".

Can you say BS?

Exactly. If you knew you sold the domain(which doesn't even exist) why would you accept my offer within the hour?
