    Read... :)

    It shows on https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/tlds/me.asp?tld=me&ci=12355

    Landrush 5/6/08 - 6/26/08
    (includes Pre-Registration)
    Anyone may apply for a .ME domain name during this period. After Landrush closes, domain names requested by multiple parties will be auctioned between the requesting parties.

    It says "After Landrush closes, domain names requested by multiple parties will be auctioned between the requesting parties."

    So you'll most probably get it back, it'd not make sense(and probably not legal) them charging for what you haven't won.

    Thanks for the information LeoSeo. I may purchase some names in Landrush time but currently the prices are too high. Any other place where I can buy .ME domain at a cheaper price then currently what Godaddy is offering?

    Currently Godaddy is charging 49.99 per year I think so! and the minimum contract to buy .me domain is 2 years so almost $100 for 1 domain!
