Can someone try to get me a drop?

[gph]

I let a domain name go, registered at Dotster, without realizing that they wanted an extortionate $99 to restore the domain. I am very loathe to do that, as am I loathe to pay $60 for Pool to try to get it for me.

Can anyone here offer something cheaper with a reasonable chance of success? It is a 1stword-2ndword.info type domain name, so shouldn't be too popular I hope!

Thanks

What is the drop date? If it's soon I can try it on my GoDaddy backorder account, since I haven't seen any recent drops of interest to me.

Hmmm. Maybe you should do it yourself with some help from godaddy.

Is the domain in the redemption period? ... doesn't sound like it is yet based on the price you mentioned.

If the domain is *not* yet in the redemption period, it may be worthwhile to get on the phone and try to negotiate a price, especially if you also have other domains at Dotster.

Edit: opps, didn't realize it was a .info domain you were talking about ... anyways, it may still be worthwhile to call and try negotiating a price.
