For Sale null Question

[clemzonguy]

So say there is a domain I am interested in and it's in the on-hold status now. The snap is taken and I want to contact the owner of it for purchase and will pay whatever is necessary to get it.....but the email in the whois is set to NULL.

Should I:

1) Believe Racer X's conspiracy despite that fact qv.com dropped and give up on obtaining this name ever.
2) Contact the Administrator or Technical contact and offer to pay them money to renew the domain if they can gain access to it.
3) Contact the owner if I can find a contact email despite the fact their information has been deleted (mainly email & address) and tip them off that it has gone into on-hold.
4) Call up netsol and tell them I had my email deleted by accident and I want to renew it.
5) Try to wait and loose out on the domain when it expires to someone else despite futile efforts at namewinner and other places.

Love to hear what you people have to say. :evil:

u forgot
6) move on to another domain

here is what you do. If the domain is at NSI, ya renew the domain with your own money. Then you contact the Registrant and have them sell you the domain.

Choice 4 doesnt make sense. And choice 5 is a crappy crappy option.

But if I renew the domain won't the contact information still be NULL and then I wll be out $35 and then it won't drop for another year?

Okay:

Please keep in mind that qv.com was 'paid up'---it originally expired in October of last year, some slug 'paid' for the name with a false credit card or defaulted on the payment, and then the name dropped. Conspiracy? Without a doubt. There are hundreds if not thousands of similar cases. Heck servers.com was not EVEN EXPIRED (It was scheduled to expire in February 2003), but a false credit card (or fraudulent default) let NSI drop the name. Yes, NSI is full of fraud and theft...

Apparently Servers.com had incorrect info, someone complained repeatedly to Verisign and Verisign duly let it drop.
There is another thread DNforum that explains it by someone more succinctly than I can.
