Domain in Redemption Period

How do I get this domain?

[nakulgoyal]

I know a domain name originially registered via OpenSRS and Expired on 05-05. It's currently under Redemption and soon will be in PendingDelete.

I want to know the best way to get the domain. What do you guys suggest?

[keywordguru]

I know pool can win them for a fee?

[iKwak]

If the domain is very important to you, I suggest that you pay a small fee and make a backorder on that domain.

If you really want it, put all the drop catching services on it.

enom club drop, pool, snapnames, & namewinner are the main ones, but there are lots of smaller outfits as well who sometimes sneak a domain away from these companies.

[Kongen]

Does anyone know the prices in the differen companies? Which is cheapest?

[tedster]

I really don't want to go there - it's too much like promoting an individual service, which we don't allow.

[Kongen]

yeah, ok. Sorry

[Edwin]

It's pointless to go for "the cheapest" since even if you book with ALL the services, you've probably got less than 50% chance of getting the domain (if it's of potential interest to many people) due to all the private drop-catchers.

If you pick just one drop catcher based on price, you're chopping that % right down towards zero.

I have tried to "catch" several domain names. Paid the backordering fees and have NEVER gotten a name. Is there any rhyme or reason to increase your odds such as certain registars get firts chance? Any information would be helpful.

I just tried this sunday evening, on godaddy.

This morning i had secured myself a new domain...

So quite a good start i got there :-)

[raymond4unc]

Nice start, however, all my attempts have included godaddy. Anyone understand how this stuff works? Who sees what lists and are there people that can get a jump on a name? I know there have been people including myself that search for a domain name never used just to find it on a domain for sale site a few days later. This suggests someone has the ability to watch for "searched for" names. Are there people that can watch for domains about to expire AND beable to get a jump on other people?

[Kongen]

Got one again yesterday, so that's 2 out of 2. (Godaddy)

The last one i got, i know for sure has been a popular site before, so i didn't really count on it, based on how hard i've heard it was to capture. Guess im just lucky, or maybe im stupid :-)

[raymond4unc]

You might be stupid, but not without luck. I'm still hoping someone can answer my questions. Anyone?
