Domains in redemption period

ask Taboo. he is the domain wizard around here

It's usually around 45-60 days, although it's supposedly 30 days.

I've bought a domain like this, and waiting much longer than I expected. Good luck though.

for sure he is...


I think though it depends on the current registrar but I'm not 100% sure on that...


if you have a link to that gfy search, check for a thread on domain forums, I think someone posted a few good ones a couple weeks back...


I'll check my bookmarks...

hmm don't they have some sort of standard ??

so can i just go buy a domain in redemption and wait , or do i wait then buy ??

ask taboo, he knows

taboo , taboo , where are you

If it's locked, you wait and then buy. When I did this I had no problem with waiting, but you should check it each morning and each evening to see if it's avail to register, as it's somewhat down to the previous registrar as to when it actually becomes available again.

Smokey, I am looking to do the same. If you find him please pass on any info. I will do the same.

In fact I have a few links take a look at pool.com

and snapnames.com

I think that snapnames is 60$ for them to try and get it for you. But I am not sure.

cool , im not looking for domains with competition though. just a few easy snags unlisted/ranked domains.

If anyones interested though, the domain mentioned gets google images traffic so i thought i would snag it. I will look the next few days and try and get it, if anyone else gets it , please tell us how you did it.

I gets lots of piss & "fake drama" from some gfy-ers when I try to help people & share info, but I'm here to network, so here goes:

check out the drop tests for more info.

see, Taboo's batman spotlight alerted him to this thread

cool taboo , but is there a simple answer to how long from time of expiry to the time you can buy it from any registrar..

Im talking about domains that dont have anyone waiting for them to come up.

Damn Taboo - thanks for all the links....

the rules have changed for a few drop services.

SNAPNAMES.com:
$60 to place your backorder (BO).
You don't pay unless they catch it.
If others also BO, 3 day auction takes place.
backorder by 1pm EST

ENOM.com/CLUBDROP.com:
BO for only $10 +your reg fee ($6.95 &up).
You don't pay unless they catch it.
If others also BO, 3 day auction takes place.
backorder by 1pm EST
if a name you want is listed in the clubdrop section and already has bids above $10, you can still enter the auction by bidding $10.

POOL.com:
$60 minimum
they added sealed auction phase. (= more $)
check their FAQ for info.
backorder by 2pm EST

NAMEWINNER.com
$30 minimum. bidding takes place day of drop.
bidding ends @ 1PM EST. if they catch it, you pay.
you bid the price you're willing to pay if they do
catch it. there are extended auction rules. check FAQ.

GODADDY.com
$18 BO. pay in advance. only 1 per domain.
if they don't catch it (rarely works) you get
credit to apply to another domain.


if it's a name you really want, BO it EVERYWHERE.
if it's a name EVERYONE wants, expect to pay a lot.

with most services, be careful what you backorder, because if they catch it... it's yours. SNAPNAMES used to (hope they still don't) automatically register domains for $60 if you made a typo, etc. i.e. if you really wanted to backorder SAMPLE.com but typed in SAMPEL.com, they would reg it for $60 for you.


and DON'T TELL OTHERS WHAT DOMAIN YOU ARE WATCHING
this way, if it's not one of the hot ones dropping, you may get it for under $60 or $30 or $17.


i.e.

I really wanted gearotica.com for a blog/store I'm working on.
I BO'd it everywhere, except GoDaddy, and was willing to pay minimum everywhere SNAP & POOL for $60, NameWinner for $30, but Enom caught it for $26.95. Perhaps my BO's at Pool & Snap were at the end of their que (no other bidders = less money for them). In fact, today I was able to grab LCDIndustry.com myself for $6.50 even though I BO'd it everywhere.

good luck to everyone.

yeah, he's only good for one thing

even domains you think no one is waiting for... may have lots of people.

30 - 45+ days.

keep in mind, there are domains that drop exclusively thru:

namewinner (dotster)
snapnames (verisign)
