Dream domain is expiring (almost)!!!

Ok,
I've been watching this domain for years...

It's been my dream since 2002, but has been registered since 1996...

I looked it up today (for the first time in years), and it says it's expiring next march...

I tried godaddy backorder one time, with no luck...

I'd pay big money for this domain...

I heard pool.com was good, but does anyone know the best way to aquire it? pool.com+godaddy backorder?

I'm stoked that it's expiring so soon (hopefully he won't renew, fingers crossed!)

 

try sedo.com if the domain is parked on sedo , or make a bid for it.

 

If you're serious about getting it I would try pool.com, but if it's next march then the owner has a lot of time left to extend the domain registration.

 

Yeah. If the site isnt being used, you have a greater chance, but if its worth something or likely to be, then the owner is probably sitting on it. He'll get his nice little e-mail reminder about it in Jan and probably upgrade.

Good luck with it tho, I got a nice expired domain recently.

 

It's not parked... It's nothing... "The connection has timed out"...

I know... And he's had it for 9 years... But I'm hoping he forgets or something...

 

It expires March 08 and your getting excited already.

 

pool is your best bet if its a dream domain really expect to spend big bucks for it lots of big players use pool.

 

Yeah, I've been wishing I owned it for 5 years...

It's a great 7 letter, 2 word .com that I could develop into something awesome... Instead of putzing around with 3 work 10 letter domains...

 

First check and see if the domain registrar where the name is registered at has an auction site. If it does expire it will first go to auction, then if nobody bids on it a backorder can capture it. Your best bet is to place multiple backorders on the domain name through multiple registrars. This will increase your chances of getting it immensly.
SnapNames.com is pretty much the best in the industry at catching names that expire. Pool is also very good. Enom has one called clubdrop as well.

 

I'm also in the same boat. It expires Aug 27th 07. Not very popular though. So I don't want to spend 60 on pool.com. It says tucows registered however.

Does anybody know how TUCOWS works. Do they have an auction.

Thanks,

yea i wouldn't get too excited right now.. the guy still has a lot of time.

 

Yeah, I know it's premature, but I've been wanting this one for years...

At first glance, it doesn't seem like a GREAT domain, but it's brandable and perfect keywords for the niche...

I'm stoked....

PS... I've tried e-mailing offers, never a response...

 

hmm that might be a good sign.. the guy probably died

 

Good luck on getting it, although he does still have a lot of time left

 

doesn't sound like there is a site up or anything on it, I think you should be able to get it. Like other's have said your best bet is probably pool.com. CERTAINLY not GoDaddy (there backorder SUCKS!)..Good luck hope ya get it!

 

Haha, that would be bitter-sweet...

Thanks, 8 months of finger crossing coming up...

Thanks... And yes, no site, no email response... it's not even mentioned anywhere in google...

 

Expiring in March 2008 is another 8 months away! Most probably the domain won't drop if the owner has been renewing it every year. If you're interested in it, you might want to try contacting the owner directly to see if they're interested in selling.

 

What exactly is your dream domain..? Tell us the domain name so that we can check it.

 

Haha, nice try...

I'd suck start a pistol if i did drop, but one of you guys snatched it up before me!!!

^ not literally, but I would be sad
