Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any info on current expired domain drop catchers and their payment methods. I actually was one of the original people in the world using this tactic to obtain domains when the drop catchers used a *subscription* model, but after the majors switched to a *auction* model I saw where things were headed and gave up on expired domains so I dont need a general history, just a few tips on current things as far as who, if anyone still uses a subscription model.
To be more clear- what I am looking for is a breakdown of the current companies that offer a drop catching service and their method of payment (auction model vs. subscription)
I have not used anyone in a long time so maybe there are some new players around, but the ones I have used before are Snapnames (auction still?) and Pool (auction still?) Godaddy (auction?) and Enom (auction?)
Are all these services still auction based and does anyone know of any others which are subscription based? What I mean by subscription based is that "first come, first served" to "lock-up" the domain if the drop catcher is successful in aquiring the domain vs. getting into a bidding war with some shill bidder on Snapnames.
Thanks in advance.
