    damn, someone registered it via domainplaza.ca but I see that is namescout and they use pool.com for their backordering so how the fuck did he get it? . I had my order in at pool.com but it shows some guy in Newark,DE as the new owner.

        imagine what people said 5 years ago... all I know is they won't be cheaper. plus all the new TLDs they've added (.info, .biz, .pro, .name, etc) haven't made a dent in .COM at all. so .COM will only rise, hopefully back to million dollar days. and if they ever approve .SEX or .XXX, maybe that TLD will be the one to watch.

          if you're backordering at drop sites, the cut off time is 1-2PM EST. if you're domain was being deleted today, it has NOT dropped yet.

                  won't be cheaper.

                  but they could be non existant :p

                  Technology moves so fast you really don't know.

                  For my sake, I hope not!

                    Good point. For all we know, the Internet as we know it might not even exist anymore in 5 years.

                          The internet will last longer than any of us here. Even when the Govt launches SecureNET and Nexternet/Internet2, we'll still use domains to navigate. the Internet will evolve, but not die. in 5 years the only domains that may be left to register will be like this:

                          www.hdsjahdjashsnjdj23kdjskjdkasjdak43094.com



                          but in case the domain market dies, be sure to diversify OFFLINE. if you need opportunities/ideas for businesses, drop me a line. It won't be inexpensive ($10k-$150K+), but you have to diversify, just in case. especially if an event similar to 9-Eleven happens again and targets the web, most people willl be lost and have no backup plan and no revenue stream. but I'm not going to discuss all this mumbojumbo and jinx myself. nuff said.

                                The only thing I don't like about this domian drop biz is how the hell do we know that Enom and the others are not just in there acting as shills in the acutions?

                                    i worry about that all the time. nothing beats ebay's bidder ratings system.

                                        Hey Taboo, I really like your concept for Official.

                                        Also-

                                        Could you enlighten me as to why some people bid up the domain before the domain even drops?

                                          re: drops

                                          LOL. I have no idea, except to scare away competition. still does not work because as low as $10-$60 will buy you in elsewhere. back in the day, I use to call pool and beg them to try "harder" to get a domain and I'd offer to pay $X whether or not someone else bid on it. not sure if they ever did listen to me but I got some "ok" domains thru them.

                                                      I successfully grabbed a 1 word domain through snapnames
                                                      I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                                      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                                        I only picked brandslams.com, which I am going to use for my own purposes.

                                                        Gotta bid on a few here the next couple of days.

                                                        One of the best things about looking over lists of domain names are all of the ideas you get for similar domain names.

                                                        In looking over those lists I have gotten ideas for several good domains and some of them were not even registered when I checked.

                                                            BrandSlams is great. wow. seriously, great name for a naming company or incubator for your ideas.

                                                            nice.

                                                            and you are so right about every domain on the list leading to new ones. also new businesses you never thought about getting into. but sooner or later, if you don't take a break, you zone out because they all start looking the same.

                                                            i miss going thru the list, but I do not miss playing catch up if I missed a day. worst feeling in the world is finding a name you wanted to backorder AFTER the 1 or 2 o'clock drop deadline.

                                                                                  In looking over those lists I have gotten ideas for several good domains and some of them were not even registered when I checked.
