[NameWinner]How to become grandfathered NW customers?

[wappy]

I found that in NameWinner, if you were grandfathered NW customers, only need $30 for a name. How to become grandfathered NW customers?
Thanks a lot

I don't think you can become grandfathered... you either are or you aren't.

Use the machine to go back in time and join NW when the bid was $15. :-D

I Think I had my account when min bid was $8.95, if I remember correctly

It was $8.75 when I signed up.

I got quite a few at that sub-$10 range. Those were the innocent days. Pool.com tainted ...the pool.

I assume you can only be grandfathered if you already had an account when the increased the charges a year or so ago.

I haven't seen any selling of grandfathered accounts, and I guess that it wouldn't be all that easy. Accounting information to change etc.

Also, whereas some people had several $6.95 enom accounts and could sell off spare ones, most people probably only ever had (or needed) one NW account, and they are probably reluctant to give it up due to the potential $10 saving per name.

I stand corrected. It was $8.75 when I signed up.

It was so far back when I was "grandfathered", I got them for FREE.

Oh, that's right. It was at Dotster where my .info's were FREE. :-D

2 years ago, Namewinner did 80% of my domain catching.
Today, zero.

So, being grandfathered doesn't help if they are not catching any domains.

I wish they would get back into the game. But, with a "simple" bidding format.

I still have 2 NW accounts (both grandfathered), only ever use one. Maybe I should auction off the other

Yep $8.75 and like Actnow was where I used to get a ton of good names for nice, loq prices.
If I remember correctly NWs hayday was when snapnames started to fall off the pace a bit and Pool wasnt around.
Even Club drop used to do really well for me.

Ahhh the good old days when having the top bid with the winning drop catching service meant the name was yours.

 

[pelican]

is the grandfathered account any use? i thought they will automatically adjust to the latest rate.

 

[dotNetKing]

Grandfathered minimum bids are US$30 instead of US$40.

Otherwise I think there is no difference.

I have a spare grandfathered antique NW account with $30 initial bids and UNLIMITED price on bids. PM me offer. Thanks!
