For Sale shots.com

shots.com dropped.
Had my eyes on that one for quite some time.

NW got it with a $8202 bid.

Another year old Snap down the drain. :-(

I thought it was/is a great name. It was also on my list.

And, maybe the person that got it was following it for a couple years?

But, there is a lot more where that one came from.

So, start looking for your next homerun.

Are the participating registrars at Snaps feeling totally disincentivised to try hard any more given that they probably only get a couple of bucks per success? hmmm, looks like it imho.

Looks like the free lunch is over. If you really want a name, it seems like you have to pay retail now, or at least close to retail. It's time for the WLS to take over.

I think we should suggest that each registrar do their own dropping of names. And, elliminate Verisign's connection to expiring domains. That would mean that Verisign would not get $ 6.00 from every new registration.

Verisign paid $24 Billion to get control of Netsol. It was not a free lunch for them.

I was kidding. You still need a central point to record domain ownership.

Some believe that REGISTRY Verisign willl give its own REGISTRAR NetworkSolutions a preferred shots.com at WLS. That is purely speculation, but goes to show how difficult it is for a for-profit Registry to run the political gamut.

If I were a registrar I would have never aligned myself with snapnames based on the way they pay and the length of time it takes them (3 months). WHy should they finance snpanames business?

The registrars aligning themselves with the likes of Pool.com are just getting a better deal. Nothing wrong with that!

We all used snapnames and it was great when we had a snap on a name we felt pretty confident we were going to get it. The problem was that if someone else had the snap on a name you wanted you were screwed.

I fair much better now thatsnapnames has fallen by the wayside. Whether it be for some $8.75 names at NW or a $60-$2000 bid at Pool.com I am more successful even against my own snaps.

WLS is not even completed and we don't know exactly how it is going to work and/or how much it will cost yet people are already for it? Reminds me of Communism. Looks great on paper and should work but doesn't.

Enough about WLS. If it happens it happens and we can all move forward but everytime a name is not caught by snapnames it turns into a "Bring on WLS!"

Lastly, I am SO GLad the free lunch is over! THIS IS A BUSINESS!!

Yes, I'm holding the snapback on lips.net
Hopefully Snapnames will improve in grabbing very soon.
