Playing Domain Drop Game. PRD.com drops 8/11
Ran a "domain drop" test today and placed 6 domains (all from a vein that I'm still mining) into the following drop services to see which service is most effective:
Drop Services: +Pool: $60 paid only if caught, if multiple people bid, if goes to 3 day auction +GoDaddy: $15, but only 1 backorder per domain, paid in advance, and get credit if not captured +NameWinner: $30-$50 bids, extended auctions +SnapNames: $60 paid only if caught, if multiple people bid, if goes to 3 day auction +Enom's Club Drop: $30-$50 bids, but if multiple people bid, if goes to 3 day auction fortunately I was able to get exclusive backorder at godaddy for all 6, so this was an almost perfect test. Drop Scores: +Pool: 0/6. never seen that before. glad though cause it's $60 a piece. SHOCKED. +GoDaddy: 1/6. SHOCKED +NameWinner: 1/6. for $30. suprised. +SnapNames: 0/6. not suprised. +Enom: 4/6. 1 is mine @ $30, 3 in auction. now I wish Pool got them for $60. ![]() Glean what you want from my test. I learn something new everday. While it pays to backorder everywhere, I would not have used Snapnames if they didn't change their business model this morning. At least now, you only pay if they catch the name. I may reveal the names later, only after auctions are over. but these names were not the best drops from today. so they weren't really a factor because there's less than 3 people bidding against me in each enom auction. Ok. for those that want to test the waters of the DOMAIN DROP game... tomorrow some good domains are dropping. one of the best is a 3 letter .com, which happens more often then you'd believe. PRD.com Now some of the haters will flame me, but I want to give you all a taste of how seductive, successful, addictive and frustrating this game can be... so, go open accounts at: SnapNames.com Enom.com (join club drop) Pool.com (sign up for your own affiliate code before adding domains) NameWinner.com some of the services may run a credit check of $60 to verify who you are, I'm not sure cause it's been ages since I joined. But if you want to see how the game is played, you need to add PRD.com to your watch list at each service. You must do it before Noon (EST) tomorrow to be safe. And between 2-4 est you'll find out which service, if any of them captured the domain, and you can watch the price rise, probably far above $12,000. What's the point? It's a great way to learn the ropes without risking much if any money because none of us are getting it for $60 tomorrow ![]() why PRD? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=prd could stand for so much. p= people,pet,porn,private,privacy, public, photo(grapher/phy),publishers,payment,preview etc... r= review, restaurant, real estate, rent(al(s)), reply, resource, religion, etc... d= digital,division,dept,database,domain,dealer etc... Product Review Database Porn Review Database Parks Recreation Department Press Release D... Public Relations D... perhaps some celebrity, CEO, or corporations initials that would pay handsomely for it. quick flip, potential lawsuits/wipo, but perhaps plenty of ways around it because it stands for whatever you want. if I was still buying, this would be on my "must have" list. but I already spent too much this year on 3chars. if you want to discuss it further, we've been discussing domains for days at this very focused and infopacked thread w/ over 5 pages: investing in domains ... http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/showth...postid=4999765 I only posted a new thread because some people play drops, some buy outright from auction sites/owners. two different strategies. |

Good info
![]() just let me get something straight, when bidding on an expiring domain, you pay the $60 fee or whatever in order to participate, and then you bet (for example 10k), and you only pay the bet if you actually get the domain? you do have to risk the $60 to participate, no matter if you win or not, right?

nah, only if you are the only one who backorders the name will you get it at $60
if more than one person picks the name it goes to the highest bidder. (auction starts after the name has been sucessfully caught) if you dont get the name, you dont pay $60. Hope that helps.

Good stuff but not accurate from my own tests and results. You're giving Enom the highest when that's so far from the truth in a broad sampling.
Enom/GoDaddy/Namewinner better than Pool/Snapnames is just far from accurate. A better test would be to take a multiple sampling over a few days from all deleting names and you'll find Pool destroys the others completely. The best advice though from this is if you see names you want to catch, get in every available source for catching them. ![]()

8/5-8/11/04 Inside a Drop Catcher?s War Room: How eNom Arms Maker Chris Ambler Is Turning The Tide for Club Drop Over the past couple of weeks we have been talking about the big move Enom's Club Drop has been making in the drop catching market (in fact that is the subject of our current Cover Story). Club Drop has added almost 3 dozen new registrars and the harvest from their enlistment program and Chris Ambler's finely tuned software started coming in this week with the company landing three domains on the big board. Those included #3 AirborneExpress.com at $16,000, #5 B2B.net at $10,200 and #9 iVision.com at $6,000. Club Drop also has a pile of high dollar domains moving through the Pipeline as you'll see a bit later (the Pipeline also features a huge $186,000 sale that should be our chart leader next week). more... http://www.dnjournal.com/columns/cover080504.htm so after reading it I ran the test for myself and that's why I was suprised with the results. we'll see who catches PRD.com today. also, namewinner has raised their minimum price and adopted the extended auction format, so perhaps they are working harder than ever. plus all drop services are worried about WLS killing the drop game altogether. check out the article and the topten sales: http://www.dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm |

Yes, PRD.com was caught by enom, it showed up real late today, but they beat out pool.com again across the board for premiums today. I ran a 2nd drop test today for 20+ domains backordered everywhere, but only some on the list were exclusive backordered by GD/BR. All names were caught by the drop services I used, with enom as the clear winner again and namewinner as the distant loser with ZERO results. I'll post results for 2nd round of drop tests after i take a break, been in the mines all day long.

Great info, thanks. I'm just trying registerfly's expirefish, obviously they are bottom of the barrel. Since rf is enom, do you think its similar to club drop?
