Hi Guys,

There's a name I'm keeping my eye on that is suppose to drop on Friday, Sept. 24th (09/24/2004). Now, I must admit I haven't used many drop services, and have only ever picked up one dropped name with NameWinner a while back.

So what should I do to ensure to the best effect that this name is picked up by me?

I've put a bid on NameWiner already, should I try for:

- Pool.com : Place a back order, pay $60 if I win
- SnapNames.com : Never used them before, is it worth the money?
- Other smaller services (suggestions?)

Tips/tricks? Thanks for your help guys

Pool.com - done
SnapNames.com - done
Enom.com - will do, friday's list isn't up yet

I like my chances so far, I have 4 services going after the name and I don't have to pay any of them unless I catch it. Any further suggestions? Thanks for your help steen

Insomnia, if Pool, Snap, eNom nor NW don't get it, I would be suprised.

Yeah, since I've got these 4 guys covering it, its gotta go to one. The worst case scenario is dealing with an auction.

No, that would be if BuyDomains catches it somehow with its own registrars. Or a private club.

Hey, Pool.com picked it up so I'm glad for that. But now I'm in the ridiculous auction system with no idea how many other bidders are in. So far, so good...

If it is generic or has links someone is probably with you.
If not maybe you are alone.

Be careful to not place too high of a proxy... pool will prolly try & make you pay close to it even if you're the only bidder.
