Bansche,

It doesn't matter what industry it is, the big company alway say that the small competitor will go out of business soon.

Enom has a large amount of resellers who are creating cash flow for them. Plus, the new club creates pure profit for them.

I would, except I can't figure out how to raise my account limit on NW. If I can't do that, then it sounds like I'm screwed!

Just email NW directly and ask for your account limit to be raised.
Worked for me.

Good luck with the name.

Actually, I thought our intelligence was pretty good at the time. They were out of money and on the verge, but in Q1-'02, they got a sudden surge of registrations and we couldn't figure out from where. They just started flooding in from outer space. We thought they signed some big speculator or something.

Good point about the club. That's probably gone a long way towards saving their necks.

You're right, senior management was always talkin' sh!t about all the little guys going under, but down in analytics we were always very frank and tried not to kid ourselves. I for example, used to preach that GoDaddy would surpass NSI in registrations by Q4-'04 and we should buy them before it was too late. Also TuCows was a favorite of the analytics group because they seemed to have the reseller market locked up while we couldn't make any headway at all! My biggest fear used to be that Yahoo would buy GoDaddy and put NSI out of business before I could cash out my options.

Anyway, how the heck to you back-order a name from eNom? I don't see anyplace on the site to do so. :sad:

 

[actnow]

You can not back order at Enom.

Maybe, they will do that as a line extension next month.

If NW doesn't raise your limit in time, drop me an email and I can bid for you on NW, as I have done for others here.

Also try www.Domainut.com for your Backorders $12.30 each once you have an account.

thebansche , u need to be a reseller of enom to have access to the club drop. this is how you can access the drop club . get a free 8.95$ enom reseller. there are many users here who will create it for u . after login into ur reseller account at www.enom.com/myaccount/ you will see a reseller button ont eh navigation bar. click that , then u will see a sub nav bar . on it click club drop . then follow the instructions and you will be able to use the serivce. ( note there is a 99$ membership fee monthly that is )

Thanks Domainut. If NW doesn't get back to me in time and things get out of control with this domain, I'll let you know.

I'm trying to get a name. It's in redemption period status. Someone else has a snap on it and so far mine is the ony bid on NW. I think it's slipped below radar so far, but I don't think that will last and the NW bids might climb above my limit. What are my alternatives?

My budget for this name is $250. Any ideas?

Do you know who the previous owner is? Contact them with an offer to redeem the name before it drops. They have the power to beat any drop service - for a short time!

No. I thought of that, but the Whois record has been purged, as this name is now in redemption. The registrar has now imprinted their info where the original owner used to have theirs.

As of now, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. How far out from expiration is the real drop supposed to be? Is it 75 days? This is going to be a tense few weeks.

Namewinner limit raised. You guys RULE!!!

 

[lux]

Isn't the Namewinner limit $5,000? I thought your budget was $250...

 

[dvdrip]

Namewinner has many different limits.

Someone has a limit of $10001. My limit was $100. They raised mine to $1000, which covers my $250 just fine.
