---- Beginner's advice on how to go about backordering expiring domains

I've recently used SnapNames and GoDaddy. Both domains I backordered were snapped up by Enom - so I missed both of them. I will definitely use Enom next time.

Maybe I don't understand the process, but I was frustrated with GoDaddy not capturing the domain I was trying to get through them. They were the original registrar of the domain, and were the ones who were deleting it, so I assumed it would make sense to use them to capture it once it expired. No such luck, I got an e-mail from them saying "Domain Capture Pending", then a few hours later, saying that they had failed to capture it.

I looked at Enom's list of expired domains, and they had the particular domain listed for bids a week before it expired - how are they able to get it faster than the registrar who is deleting it? Just wondering - I'm sure there is some point in the process I don't understand, but I will definitely use Enom in the future.
