Is it possible to buy an expiring domain even if it has been backordered? - GoFuckYourself.com

Basically, there is a domain that is potentially valuable that is languishing under it's current owner.

I want the domain, but someone has already backordered it at snapnames.

Is there any other way for me to get control of the domain?

try backordering it somewhere else and keep your fingers crossed...

contact the owner, and offer to buy it?

Use Pool's backorder service. They've got a good hit rate on the backorders and you only pay if and when they succeed.

So you can backorder all you want without laying out and risking any money up front.

Only the ones you successfully get do you pay for.

I used snap names on a domain I was trying to get a few months back and they didnt get it. I used them one other time and they were successful but that was probably two years ago and it was before they had any competition.
