For Sale Expiring Network Solutions Domain

[dcristo]

This expiring network solutions domain I have my eye on is in pending delete status and isn't featured at namejet.com or snapnames.com. Will this mean I will have a pretty good chance of getting it manually on the drop?

I doubt you will be able to catch a dropping name by hand, it will either get caught by a dropcatcher or a taster. Place a BO with snap and Pool for good measure... should do the trick.

The status for the domain at snap doesn't say "Available Soon" so I don't think they will catch it? I was of the understanding network solutions names now goto namejet on the drop, but they don't have it featured either.

I have a feeling (opinion) some name don't drop anymore...since namejet took over from snap...

Gosh I really hope you are wrong. Have you ever seen a pending delete name not drop?

 

[katherine]

Is it registar or registry info pending-delete ? Can you post the exact status information from whois ?

Seriously, you have next to no chance in getting it manually, I'd backorder it. Yes - it should drop, unless a registrar wants it for themselves.

 

[dcristo]

The reason I think I can get this manually is because the domain probably isn't seen to be valuable to most people.

I just realised it is now at snap and will be available soon.

If there are no bids at snap, does it go through the normal drop process?

BTW I find it funny I have a friend with the same name "Simon Johnson" he is from Australia too k:

Guess who got the domain? Snap :upset:

 

[katherine]

So the name was deleted.
BTW snapnames does tasting too and they release names after 5 days. Maybe the domain was not even backordered. Check if you see the name in live auctions.

so if there was a backorder it would be in live auctions?

when i goto this page https://www.snapnames.com/liveAuctions.do i don't see anywhere to view auctions to bid on...

ok reading the FAQ it says Available Soon domains are no longer shown in search results once they go in auction, so there is no way to tell if snap is tasting the domain or it's actually in auction?

If snapnames got the domain and it's NOT in the Live Auction, then somebody backordered the domain and either won it because there were no other backorders, Or, there is a "private auction" for the people that did backorder it.

Did you backorder the domain?

No I didn't, I was hoping to get it for reg fee instead of paying $60. I should have known better.

cool thanks for the explanation, how do you check live auction domains?
