For Sale GoDaddy Drops

clemzonguy · May 12, 2003

If a name is dropping at GoDaddy do they have an advantage at grabbing the name when it drops or would backordering it there be a waste of time?

I don't think it matters just like NameWinner having no special advantage on Dotster drops.

Anyway I just want to report the 7th failure of Godaddy backorder for me. But seems not many people use them, I can easily find a name dropping today available for backorder. Still have 300+ attempts ahead, I can wait! (what else can I do? :dead: )

NameWinner having no special advantage on Dotster drops.

Used to be that any Dotster drop would be grabbed by namewinner but I guess since the delete commands are sent at once from the registry instead of from the registrars no one has an advantage.... that we know of.

I've had my 4th failure for my Godaddy snap.

They are quick to let you know you lost though. :laugh:

Yes, that's the big plus, I have plenty of time to prepare for next day's drop

. I wonder why SnapNames cannot do the same.

Arrr... I have been notified the 10th failure of my Godaddy backorder!

They're too busy catching names. GoDaddy has plenty of time to send out failure notices because they never catch anything.

That's exactly what I'm thinking too. Godaddy will soon break the Expirefish record :laugh:

I am trying them out and so far the catch number is a big fat 0... and the name was not even snapped just had a namewinner to it

I saw a post in DSF that a 3 letter com domain drop was caught by godaddy. I gess the service does work.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile, but that single catch will undoubtedly bring them a new round of business. For now I would look at it as lightning striking, but if they can do that a few more times they will get people's attention for sure.

See what I mean.

I have placed a Namewinner 8.75 bid up against my go daddy snap twice and beat GoDaddy both times.

So far 7 attempts at mediocre domains
and 7 failures ..................................

The 11th failure for me today, am I the unlucky few or what?

But both Snapnames and Dropwizard got me good names today

I bought 15 No daddy

backorders and have placed them on next day drops every night for 12 nights. I've had one catch, on May 8th aginst a $62NW and A Snapback. You do the math:laugh:

I only pay $14.08 for them so we'll see in a year
