For Sale What does Reactivation Period mean on a domain whois?

[GodBlessYou]

Interested in getting a domain that has recently expired. It was registered through enom and states "Reactivation Period". Can someone fill me in on what this means, and what I can do to have the best chance at snagging this domain?

 

[Theo]

Read this - and yes, it's 100% true.

 

[GodBlessYou]

Thanks Acro. So what is your guys advice. It's a domain about a baseball team and they are doing pretty poorly. Do you think it's worth bidding via namejet, or should I take my chances and backorder with someone like godaddy to save some bucks?

 

[Theo]

If it's at eNom, it will go through Namejet.

 

[GodBlessYou]

Yeah but if no one bids at namejet, won't it fall through to where godaddy can snag it?

 

[Theo]

Don't count on that. Always place a safety bid at the place that will determine the fate of a domain, in this case Namejet.
