transfer issue - help

[geekpipe]

hi

trying to have a name transferred to me and my registrar sends the current owner an email .... but godaddy shows transfer in my account as having email of :

[email protected]

I look at the whois and it is all blank. So bizarre also it was originallyt registered in august 2005 but says redemption period with expiration in august 2006. How could this be?

is the domain now into your account?

 

[geekpipe]

no i am trying to acquire it. long story. but i wonder if they tried to reggy it, and maybe payment failed? so it will now be dropped? Can someone maybe shed some light on this?

what does the current owner say on this? you could be right with the failed payment.

 

[geekpipe]

cant seem to get a response from him . so i am going on memory as to what he said. waiting on answer but wondering if i can figure it out.

 

[DNjet]

so that is not whois protection you are seeing? and is the domain unlocked for the transfer?

here is the screenshot of whois:

ok, it looks like to me that this person had his account terminated and lost his domains , so they go into redemption now , he does not own the domain any longer.

 

[geekpipe]

so any time table to tell how long before it is available to reggy?

probably 30 days from when they took it, but check out this thread and you will see what i mean.
