Ever used Snapnames / Pool / Namefish etc..
 

... and do you trust them?

Have you ever had any luck with them with a decent name?


I have domain coming up that I need to get...

I'm debating contacting the owner about it.

If it is good 9/10 pool will get it. And the bidding will go through the roof.

If the domain is in the REDEMPTIONPERIOD it wouldnt hurt contacting the current owner and trying to work something out. I think it cost $200 with most registars for the current owner to pull it out of Redemption. It the domain is PENDINGDELETE its going to drop regardless.

If you really want this domain and cannot contact the owner get a account at pool and namewinner.

If the domain is of any value the Snapnames reserve will most likely be taken already

I signed up to pool.com yesterday and have a few good domains backordered. They are due to be deleted in the next day or two. Hopefully it goes well.

IF they are good, then I guess pool lets everyone else know about them in their newsletter or something. Ugh.

Nah, their system is automated and most of their hotlist are very shit. I know of a few great sources (with a very small audience) that put up some of the top domains that are being deleted the next day, and that is why I joined pool.

Also, pool.com removes the domain from its hotlist, etc as soon as somone backorders it through them. So it seems to be relatively fair.

I use them all the time... I get a domain every other week.. =)

the top domains dropping tomorrow are listed on the front page.

Not.

We used Pool and Snapnames, never used Namefish because we heard very bad experiences about them, but it's very difficult to get a good name with them, and what it's supposed to be time and money saving usually is the opposite, so we're using those services less and less and working in our existing domains development
